A New Baby?!!!!

Well...it looks like we may have a new addition soon to our already large hairy family. I helped a blue heeler find it's way home recently. The grateful owners have offered me a puppy from one of their other dogs litters. The puppies are two weeks old right now.

Puppie Pile


I am deciding between the runt who will probably have the usual blue heeler markings similar to the blue heeler I have now


Or a little girlie pup who may have neat spots on her coat...not sure about her coloring yet though

Tag~How Weird Am I?

I was uhm...tagged by my friend Crystal. Now it is my turn to tell you all 6 weird things about me. The problem is that I am so weird I have no idea where to start.

1. I make art almost every day. Yes this might sound lovely..but imagine the things I put off in order to do so. My house...is...not...normal.

2. I take over every available surface and fill it with my crap. I mean my art. crap.

3. I am a hermit.

4. I have limited use of my left arm. Ok maybe this isn't weird, but a lot of people don't know that about me.

5. My best friends (besides my blue dog) are all online. Hey give me a break I said I was a hermit.

6. I would rather give than receive.

I tag Sal, Fran, Orangie, Stacey, Adri.

Visit to Port Townsend

A group of us from Kingston Art Gallery drove up to Port Townsend for the day to look at other co-ops and have lunch. I had the best mocha (bowl sized) at Sweet Laurette. The food was fabu!

Kingston Art Gallery Anniversary

We celebrated our first year anniversary at the co-op. I made a few...er...several treats. The ones near the trees Barabara made. Thanks Barbara!

Ho Ho Ho early

I received a bit of an early Christmas present. Some beautiful green plates and green and orange mugs. To celebrate I made a roast chicken to put the plates to use.

Wintersong~Sarah McLachlan

Those of you who know me in person probably know what a HUGE Sarah McLachlan fan I am. I started listening to her way before it was cool. I just downloaded her most recent album Wintersong. It features perhaps the most beautiful cover of Joni Mitchell's "River" ever. Sometimes I wish I had a river I could skate away on myself.

Work in progress~a pomegranate

And....truffles!
