Yellow Daisy Festival....almost here!

I am gearing up for my next show....just a few weeks away! My plan is to finish whatever dolls I can, then spend the rest of the time relaxing like Sweet Pea! ha ha! Seriously, there is plenty to do after I get my dolls done. The last show I went to, I stayed up ALL NIGHT LONG finishing some last minute projects. Then drove to Birmingham, set up my display, then there were tornadoes so I was locked in the building until that night!! I could have laid in the floor and slept, I was so tired! So I will not do that this time.....and I promise to share lots of pictures when I get back from the show!

I was talking to a friend about my kitties and trying to paint with them around. Any of you that have cats will know what I mean....they are so curious, they are bound to get into trouble! I told her I would share some stories about it, so here goes. One of the last things that happened was not too long ago....I had been painting and took a break. When I came back to my studio, Pumpkin was lying in the floor and I noticed his paw was red. I panicked, thinking he had blood on his paw and between his toes. I checked and couldn't find a cut, squeezed his paw to see if it hurt (I think he enjoyed that!) Then I finally saw red paw prints across my desk and in the seat of my chair. Mystery solved!! I wanted to tell you that the picture here of Pumpkin was of him laughing at me after that joke he pulled on me....but it wasn't. It goes with the story though!!

Once I was painting my bathroom midnight blue....nice, clean, white Sweet Pea kept wanting to watch. He was being so good, I let him sit on the sink while I painted. When I turned my back, he stepped all in the blue paint, walked across the floor, the tub and jumped in the window sill!! So I just painted everything in there blue, including the trims and window will!! And Sweet Pea was stained blue....the prettiest shade he ever got into was lime green....it stained his fur the color of Kermit the frog!! lol! It was mostly on his paws, so no big deal, but it was pretty. This is why I only use non-toxic acrylic paints--I know the kitties will get into it and lick it off their paws!

Have I told you about my Momma's new puppy? I can't believe I haven't posted pictures of this little cutie pie yet! His Momma was dropped off at their house--she looked like an Australian Shepherd, but we don't know for sure. The momma dog had one puppy and she died while he was still nursing. So they bottle fed him until he could eat and he is SO SPOILED!! He loved his bottle, so we gave him a pacifier. That didn't work long because he figured out he couldn't get anything out of it!! He is a little older now and he likes to play rough....he is the cutest puppy in the world and I just had to show off his pictures. I think he should be a doggie model!!

 

This is my nephew with "Shadow".....my nephew is faking being asleep, but Shadow is asleep for real!!
