Ever have one of those days?


"Mindy was busy knitting a new scarf for her niece when
Mr. Fur Pants suddenly appeared and tried to grab the yarn!
PLUS, Mr. Fur Pants let his tail get away on him
and it almost went directly up Mindy's nose!"


I am having one of those days....

"Mindy's knitting fiasco" is up for grabs on ebay

Painting large



Hello Beautiful People!
Here in Canada this last weekend was Thanksgiving. I had a lovely time and cooked a nice meal. Opie and Lily enjoyed some turkey :)

I also had time to create this large portrait painting. I really enjoy painting large. It is so much more physical than the smaller works I do. You really have to stretch your arm when painting big. Plus I use different brushes, I find I can get a softer look on the larger paintings because of the bigger brushes. It allows for more room to push the paint around :)

Portrait with kitty and bird is up for auction on Ebay.

Hugs to all!

Kisses!



Pets love to give kisses don't they? Opie kisses me all the time. Yes, his breath smells like a bad can of tuna fish.....but that's okay, I still love his kisses. Did I mention that I love to kiss him on his forehead? I do it all the time. His sweet little velveteen forehead :)

Rain rain go away..



It looks like we've hit the rainy season here in Toronto. It has rained a lot and will continue to. If the weather was warmer it would be perfect for planting. My newest painting has Frida planting some sunflowers. I actually LOVE LOVE LOVE sunflower sprouts, to eat! YUMMY! They are bigger than most sprouts and have a nutty taste. (By nutty, I mean taste like sunflower seeds, not nutty as in crazy! LOL!)

The rain has been so strong lately that I got myself a pair of these boots:

They are neon yellow! They are like little cartoon boots and that is what I like about them. I feel like a kid in them, and want to jump in puddles! They will certainly make going to the post office in the rain more enjoyable.

"Frida plants seeds" is up for auction on ebay.

Stay dry!
