We have been having...
Way too much fun in the studio these past few days...
Then again, can you really have too much fun?
Oh, make sure you don't have a gumball, from my childhood gumball machine, because they're felt balls, and without the proper magical elixir, you might choke.
(weird comma usage, I know)
By the by.
It happened.
It got icy...
Frosty kisses from father winter, in autumn.
Of course, everyone gets extra active in the studio, when it gets cold.
Then again, they are elves ;)
The garden seems to be a-okay.
So, we'll see.
It will be interesting to see how long it hangs on.
There are about 100 tomatoes still out there on their vines.
My father is a real, honest to goodness, tomato pro (amongst other veggies, as he owned a produce brokerage for 30 years), so he has me doing all these experiments with my tomatoes.
Leave some in, leave some out (covered), put some in a box, etc. etc.
You'll learn something here kid, is what he says.
(he either calls me, my love or kid, or, mijita)
So, frost watch is in action.
Frost looks like powdered sugar...
Poor spider...
So, while it is cool outside, we are staying toasty inside.
It went from summer to winter in a day. We need to switch from cooler to heater.
Oh oh, you will never guess who stopped by?
He wanted me to send extra hugs to Rooooster (hugs from mister teal boots Rooster cakes!).
Then he stayed for tea.
Of course, I am babysitting a miniature ornery pup, so things got a bit hairy...
:)
His tea was too hot, his tea was too cold, his tea was not sweet enough, his cake was too small.
You know someone like that in life, I am sure, tee hee ;)
Oh and, the phone kept rining off the hook.
Which I doth loathe in real, as well as in imaginary life.
My previous career made me phone phobic.
Whilst in the studio, my babies come to visit me...
I must confess.
Lately, the boys have been having a minor conflict.
You see, Miles really lives up to his given name.
He really does think he is King Miles of the Santa Catalinas.
He also has no idea he is HUGE, and thinks he is still a little baby.
So, the thing is, Miles likes to cut Matty off, getting in front of him for hugs and treats. He just runs right over Matty, and puts himself in between Matty and me, or Matty and Lovee. Of course, we do the parenting thing. No Miles. Sit Miles. And he does. He is a love. But then he does it later again, ha!
Lately, Matty is sick to death of it.
But I can't take sides because, Matty isn't a saint himself.
He taunts Miles with his treats, takes toys away from him, and is silently in charge.
They never fight, fight.
But, they do wrestle like madmen, and have so much fun running around together, it is palpable.
This is Miles coming between a hug with me and Matty.
This is how Matty feels.
"You dirty rat, I'll get you!!!"
So, in this case, I get on the floor, and we have a group hug.
Then there is peace in a fanciful twist.
90% of the time, they are in love, and all is well.
I adore them more than I can ever describe.
Oh oh, not to change the subject but...
I have been finding so many butterfly wings and lifeless butters lately...
Poor little butter...
I can't help but collect lifeless insects and butterflies that I find...
It seems so sad to just leave them out there...
And, because I am paranoid...
When I find a little bug, and I am not sure he is dead, I put him in a bowl on the porch for a few days, so he can leave if he/she is still alive.
Then after, I put them into one of my boxes.
Buggie love.
So, that is the 411 around here.
I slept with paint and glue all over me.
Is that wrong?
I guess it doesn't matter.
Not really.
So, for now we have studio fun, and frost.
Frost on purple roses...
And, frost licking...
He was most concerned about his frozen solid stuffed christmas tree.
As he cocked his head to the side in bewilderment.
Imagine being like, oh, this looks interesting, I think I am going to lick it?
Ahh, what a life ;)
Off to see the wizard!
Love, V
ps: Tell me something totally random. I mean really, anything.
Like, you stubbed your toe bad, or you ate a gallon of pralines and cream. Or or, you are angry or happy or, you you.... you were abducted by aliens. Or, you wish you were in....
Here is mine. Let's see, first thing that comes to mind.
I should have not had that weird little burrito, especially after cereal and yogurt. I thought that if I had the cereal and yogurt first, that it would cancel out being bad with half of a weird little burrito. But, it was not a very good a combo. Oh and, my nose has been frozen for 3 days. Any ideas on how to warm it? I put my hands over my face and breathe. Warms it for like, 4 seconds.
