Have a "Peek"

I've been busy! I actually have something for "show and tell" today. This is from the Leisure Arts Christmas Remembered hard cover book. I saw it on a blog or a message board (the mind is a terrible thing to lose, but I digress.....). It's called "Special Delivery. He's a turn of the Century (the 20th for all you youngsters), Santa who will eventually be delivering the mail and packages. I just fell in love with his face..... Now, to finish up his giant package from "The Ritz" held in his left arm, and his  bag brimming with smaller packages held over his right shoulder..... well.... then there's the rest of his "ensemble" including his legs and feet.

Shame on Me!

I need to tie a string on my finger. I need to set a reminder on my Smartphone. I really need to have somebody kick me in the pants (any volunteers?). I need to post more often. I need a memory!!!!

I've been reminded that I never posted a completed AND framed picture of "True Wisdom." Here ya' go.....





When I got to my Framer's, I couldn't decide whether or not I wanted something "glitzy" or "subdued." After 5 minutes of trying both, we both came to the conclusion that what you see is just Perfection! What do you think?

I'm still plugging along at getting my (85) completed works pinned onto foam core. My poor fingertips "hurt!" Here's the pile that's still left to be pinned, and I've already finished 2 more projects that need foam core. I fear I'm fighting a losing battle, here! lol


Finally, I'm rather proud of myself. I finished my first bell pull. It's a house warming gift for our Daughter. Heather and Shawn purchased their first home in the Phoenix, AZ area.





There ya' go!
