Dinosaurs in Tucson

Recently moved from Las Vegas, NV to Tucson, AZ.  Here is a picture of some dinosaurs playing in the birdbath at our new house.

Spooky Halloween of Angst

I’ve had so many fun Halloween ideas I’ve wanted to paint, alas, we are moving out of state and these hands have been busy packing.

 

The Wild Swans

A few days ago we drove through Solvang, CA and visited a Hans Christian Andersen Museum.

Some Dutchy paper cutty things and a portrait.

Some really fun old books.

I’ve never loved most of his stories. The Ugly Duckling…meh. The Princess and the Pea…meh. But strangely enough, my very favorite fairy tale came from him. The Wild Swans.

I have a very fun idea of a girl and some swan brothers in my head now.

Christa (stash)

Christa knew that “she who dies with the most fabric wins” but just couldn’t help cutting into her “stash”.

Elanor

Like a cat, Elanor could always sleep anywhere.

Spratt Children

The delightful Spratt children.

Phoebe

It’s not Red Riding Hood, it’s Phoebe.  And my papa’s got an ax.

Christa (magic sewing machine)

With Christa’s new magic sewing machine, life was a breeze!  Not only could it read her every thought, but there was no cumbersome pedal getting in the way.

Multitasking

After proving to everyone that she was perfectly capable of learning both the flute and ballet at the same time, Tabitha wondered if she should throw in Latin and astronomy as well.

Confident Curtsy

Etiquette Tip #146: The key is confidence. If you appear confident while preforming a curtsy, no one will notice if your legs get a little tangled.
