Just in the nick of time. . .

I got my squares done and in the mail this morning for

Monica Magness' big pink community charity project.
It's quite the undertaking, but I'm sure the finished product will be breathtaking. Be sure to visit her blog for all the latest

and the amazing gallery of squares.
Thank you, Monica!

Out Amongst the Wolves

I hang out in cyberspace

with a wonderful group of women artists.

Recently, we challenged each other to do a

Little Red Ridinghood dolly in our own style,

just for the fun of it (or maybe just to torture me

on account of I want them ALL).

Some of them are for sale. Some aren't.
Anyway, here is the parade!

We still have some stragglers that have wandered off the official parade route, but I'll be sure to add them whenever they find their way back.

Wish I May, Wish I Might. . .

My favorite this week has to be

this mischievious little wishing star.

============

I don't know what it's wishing for,

but I'm pretty sure it's not G rated.

Grinning Like the Devil

Beware of a happy devil.

It's never good news.

. . . . . .

(I really should be working right now.)

Gray Daze

Is it Spring yet?

I need to see some butterflys , and some hummingbirds,

heck I'll even take a mosquito at this point.

Unexpected Gifts

I'm feeling mighty blessed

on this fine day.

* * *

I've recieved not one, but TWO very unexpected gifts in the past couple of weeks. The first was this wonderful tag made by Lori. I had bid on this amazing tag on ebay but was outbid one of my favorite customers. Poo. Ever graceful in defeat, I quietly pined away for my lost tag. Amidst all this quiet pining I got a package in the mail from Lori. Huh? What could it be? Imagine my surprise when I opened the envelope only to discover my long last tag! Included was a note saying it was from Debbie (the aforementioned fave customer). I was floored. And more than a little teary-eyed. Thank you, Debbie!

Then, as if my faith in humanity wasn't already restored enough, I received yet another gift! All wrapped in prettiness was a true treasure-

a most wonderful addition to my growing family of Reds. Her name is Mica Red, after her fabulously talented creator. Mica knew I loved her, so she just sent her to me! I was shocked and truly touched by this show of generosity and kindness. Thank you so much, Mica!

Of course, the Reds wasted no time in gathering around to welcome their new sister.

Mica Red is feeling a little overwhelmed with all the attention. Naturally, Squeaker Red pushed to the front to get a good look.

Biscuit Red had to climb on a basket to see around pushy ole Squeaker. Nutmeg Red loved her new sister immediately, but Topsy Red is being her usual drama queen self and demanding some attention.

Count me in!

I'm joining in on this wonderful project by Monica Magness at Girl Gone Thread Wild. Each participating artist is making a 2x2 inch square to be incorporated into the final piece. Looks like lots of folks are participating!
I'll post my square as soon as I get it done.

And the winner is. . . .

Drumroll, please.

I had so many people enter my little giveaway,

that I couldn't bring myself to pick just one.

So I picked five.

The first pick will get the original collage/drawing thingy, and the next four picks will get signed limited edition prints.

Thank you all for playing!

And thank you Lisa for thinking this all up.

This has been so much fun!

And the winners are. . .
