Today was a record day… I painted and  put the last touches on all these pieces.  Except the WIP heart painting.  I had the paint flying.  Also did the photos, etc. 

The small crow has black glitter on it,  so those are shiny spots, not white dots.  It’s a fun piece.  The Halloween cats have almost the same color on the background… but for some reason it didn’t photograph the same.     The little pumkin box was so much fun for me.  I love the sculpting and then painting the box.

The WIP at the bottom is going to wild and crazy.  Can’t wait to get started on that tomorrow morning.  I love to do hearts,  always. 

Time to put my feet up…   thanks for looking…. hugs, PJ

Shirley in the round… or.. the very best nap ever… or.. they can’t see me, hehehe…   The one thing I know for sure,  she was out cold. 

Have a great weekend.  Please check out my website… click below..

Walter and Wilma

Finished painting this one at 9pm last night.  Notice they both have green eyes…  They’re best friends.  Both like fish,  naps,  and sunshine.  Willard is partial to belly rubs,  Wilma likes foot rubs.  Is this heaven or what?    click on PJ

So now he’s decided he can take down that big truck with a  cattle trailer that goes by our house on a regular basis.  Richard almost had a stroke…  Came straight in the house and told on Herbert.  Herbert had his little chest all stuck out.  The little fool. 

I was all set to build flower beds… I got dirt.  Really nice loamy dirt.  So excited about my dirt.  I’ve always had flowers, herbs,  etc.  This house was/is  in need of so much love/$    flower beds/dirt   wasn’t on the list.. or not very high on the list.  But if you whine loud, long, and often… things will happen.  I got dirt for my birthday!  Two big piles/14 yds.  

Now that super dawg thinks he’s The Mexican Godzilla… I gotta have a fence first.  The little jerk.  And to think I cook for him.  Yes,  I’m a fool.  He’s so skinny,  plays with dry dog food,  so I cook chicken and rice.  He has not gained an ounce.  NaDa…   It’s just not working.

Back to the fence…. guess that’s the next thing on the list.  It’s gotta be cute… the house is so ugly… the fence has to be cute.   OK,  maybe it’s not REAL ugly…. I just love old houses.  Truly love them.  Richard tolerates them.  They have a soul.  They talk to you in the middle of the night.   They move an inch this way or that way.. and give you a  surprise.  Like our bathroom door.  It has shut for 4 years…. it no longer does that.  Surprise!  (snort, giggle)  Who cares….  The house will  shift,  the door will close.  TaDah!

And yes, old houses have ghosts.  Real ones.  No, not really spooky.  Not when you realize they’re not going to hurt you.  Sometimes you see ‘em… sometimes you don’t.  I prefer the ones that I don’t see.  It’s just a preference… :)   Smart dogs or cats can tell you when they’re around.  Herbert does a low growl,  stands real stiff,  doesn’t take his eyes off of the spot.  Shirley gets spooked.  She gets in a crouching position…  then under the nearest furniture.   Nope,  I don’t watch the ghost shows on TV.  In front of a camera, people will do almost anything. 

Time for me to get in the studio.  Ya’ll have a great day!  It’s Monday… let’s get this show on the road…

A big fat nap was required today.  Herbert needed it badly… so I had to go along with the idea. That dog works hard harassing Shirley the cat.  He needs his rest.  Now we have a stray kitten.  So far it’s not requiring petting,  but I’m working on him.  At least he’ll eat cat food.

R made crunchy tacos for supper. Oh, soooo gooood!  You know how you get hungry for a certain taste?  I’m fat and happy!  He got the seasoning perfect.  I’m not crazy about Taco seasoning… so we do it from scratch. Taco Snobs! eek!

OK,  I’m done.. roll me over.  Hope you had a positive weekend… everything you wanted it to be.  Now make this week something you’ll be proud of.  Share your good mood.  Share a giggle… they’re contagious.  Decide to be happy.  It’s your choice!

When you’re just so terribly bored….

and thanks for reading my craziness…

It’s required in Texas to put entirely too many words in every sentence… did you know that? Well, it’s the God’s Honest Truth.   And you’re required to tell big fat lies every chance you get.  Yes,  we have weird laws… but we’re happy!
