Good-bye, Mr. Petey Pie

Yesterday was a hard day. We had to put Prickly Pete down. He had fractured his pelvis and his diabetes had come back in one fell swoop. It was a very hard decision. But when we saw him -- we knew it was the right one.

It was a sad day. My husband and I loved Petey like crazy. We miss him more than I could ever express.

Thanks for picking us at the shelter, Mr. Petersworth. We are so glad to have known you.

More Recycle Mayhem and My Husband's Photography

While I am happy to report that the mannequin finally got the picture to the proper place and up, I am sad to report that I did not make it to 100 items by my deadline. I missed it by eight.

If I count the pairs of earrings I made as two instead of one, I am there. But I didn't clarify that rule when I started.

I'm going for it again this week. I like how having a numbers goal keeps making things in my mind at all times.

So here's what's been going on since Wednesday! Recycle Mayhem!

Recycled Chain and Memory Wire Fringe Necklace. Sometimes the best way to get rid of a knot in a chain is to use your wire cutters!




















Toliet Paper Roll Wreath! Finally finished and beautiful!




















And I had another item here and the photo has vanished. Sigh! I hate it when my blog eats my photos. It was probably because it was my oatmeal box art. It's listed on Etsy if you are really interested.

Speaking of oatmeal, here is a series of photos taken by my husband last night with my interpretations. (I say "speaking of oatmeal" because our carpet would take an oatmeal spill well.)

His feet. I find many photographs of this particular subject. Someday I shall gather them all in one place and create a coffee table book.
















Here is a statement where he combines the title of a book and the snowflake-like design on the bookshelves.













Here is a cute photo of Snoopy.















And then a capture of Petey's demon side. Just in time for Halloween! Thanks, Honey!

Damn Mannequins, You Can't Trust Them!

I'm just trying to take the photos to list my two new paintings on Etsy, and the little mannequin just can't stop walking away with the newest painting. I guess he wants it for his little digs.

He soon found that it was a little heavy for him.

He's no Kim Cattrall, but he's alive I tell you. I've seen him petting the kitties.

If only the mannequin would feed and water the kitties and clean their litterbox too! I would be happy to give him the little painting!

Long Live the Queen of the Art Scene

Just when I think I have enough projects to work on, I start something else. I think that I am royalty in several areas:

1. The Duchess of Doing-Too-Muchess

2. The Princess of Mess

3. The Queen of the Art Scene

I know that being Queen of the Art Scene is completely contained in my own mind, but the Duchess and Princess title are very much true. My husband the King of Tolerating can atest to all these statements.

Here he is trying to turn the cat into a pumpkin.

It didn't quite work...

Anyway, I digress. Here is the drawing that I did instead of working on my list of now 62 projects. I love it!

Back to work with me. If only my wand could help me finish my list a wee bit faster!

Long Live the Art Scene Queen! (Even if only in her own mind...)
