Looking forward

to winter hibernation... stocking up on supplies, ideas, warm friends and hot cups of tea in the studio.

Happy New Year 2011!

Still

missing my girl .... one year later.
We love you Miss Athena.
Queen for eternity.

Wishing for a break in the rain...

I have no complaints. I love staying in, reading, painting, crafting, or writing holiday cards. Pooches? not so happy... waiting for a car ride, or creek, or park, ANYTHING. Happy Solstice.

Sundance ....

We love you.

Look who found a new home....
