Vote for Tiny!

I entered Tiny in the Humane Society's Spay Day 2011 Online Pet Photo Contest. You can take a look at her profile/picture and vote if you like! It's funny, I was looking through the other pets entered in the contest (mostly cats and dogs of  course) and it started looking to me like Facebook for dogs. Haha.

I also saw this totally adorable picture of a mini-rabbit!! Why is that so cute?

This weekend, Francine is visiting me and so far we had a nice brunch, drove through a giant smoke cloud from the brush fires in PG county yesterday, utilized the services of a crappy personal stylist, bought 7 dresses between the two of us (plus a skirt, a coat, and tights) at Columbia Mall, and had a tasty dinner at Tiffin...which was so busy we had some questionable service--I think they forgot we existed and Francine's okra dish took approximately hundred years.

On to more adventures today!

Craft project list--organized or overwhelming?

I was inspired by WendyMoonDesigns, who has a yearly project list on her lovely blog...and decided to do something similar. I thought this was such a great idea...but when I started compiling my various project ideas into one list, I started freaking out a bit. How will I ever get to all of this stuff?!

Perhaps my list just needs to be prioritized a little? Here's a first stab at my craft project list though. Keep in mind the items are in no particular order!

Also, I am taking requests...if you have a project idea you'd like me to try, comment below and I will add it to the list!

Belated Happy Valentine's Day

Just a quick post this evening to wish everyone a great Valentine's Day!

Here's the wonderful valentine I got from my friend's daughters--don't you just love kids' drawings??!

So sweet!

Underwater watercolor mystery revealed!

Here it is at last...drumroll please!

It's an octopus! Isn't he the cutest thing ever? He was a present for Kate & Eric, who are expecting a new baby in April. Yay!

Etsy items for the week

Just posted some more appliqued felt tags to my etsy shop...here they are!

Kind of a woodland, forest-y set.

Kites! Ready for warm weather and spring breezes!

Another sneak peek: more underwater mystery

I couldn't resist...here's another small part of the finished watercolor. I put some finishing touches on it this morning, cut the paper and fit it into its frame!

I totally love how it came out--it is pretty much the cutest thing ever--and can't wait to post pics of the whole thing sometime next week!

Sneak peek--mysterious underwater watercolor!

Yesterday I decided to start a small watercolor as a present for a friend...it is nearly complete but I want it to be a surprise!

Hmmm...what do you think it is? :)
