Playing ketchup!

Ok, I really mean catch-up. I finally downloaded some images. Here are my new large vases. I really like them and they make a fine addition to our house. I hope they will make a fine addition to some high-end boutique soon and other people's houses!

My home-made tomato pots. The plants are growing like crazy in this lovely wet spring weather. Amazing how they just yearn to grow upward. As do I !

The latest spring fashion for barbies. Home made bras!!! Per request of Noah.
How great! My favorite past time when I was growing up was to take leftover fabric from my dad's alterations shop and make dresses for my barbies. Now I'm designing and sewing with Noah. It couldn't be better!

Mother's Day

I hope everyone had a fabulous mother's day. I certainly did.
My little son woke me up wishing me a happy mother's day. I just know that we was
holding on to that thought for days and remembering it first thing was very special.
I got some sweet roses and a nice pancake breakfast. Then we were going to drive to the
Botanical Garden to see the Henry Moore exhibit, but I preferred to dilly dally and play
Animal Crossing and cuddled with my sweet baby Sophie while the boys ran errands.
Then the weather was so pretty and I had Rick remove some crazy roots out of the garden.
The kids asked for the sprinkler and I continued on my garden project, digging a little
trench for the new brick border. I'm really digging it. Literally.
So it went along with worms and such, a little errand to Hancock and mending some
things that have been piling up. I worked out for an hour to the new Fitness Coach
Wii CD and the gang came back from the farmer's market and prepared a low country
boil that was delicious! We talked Southern and it is especially hilarious to hear Noah
speak with a Southern accent. Cracks me up.
He came up with this thing "I am dirty on the inside" and it is so funny. He has quite the
ear for that stuff. Accents that is. No idea where the dirty thing came from.
But he likes to makes us laugh...
Now I took a nice little salt bath and wanted to record this lovely day. Hope you had one
too! Photos will follow (as soon as I find my card reader. I have this silly habit of
misplacing items for weeks at a time and then they will turn up eventually.
Maybe I should clean up more often!)

Trees Atlanta

Yesterday (and today) Trees Atlanta is having its annual tree focused art show.
They were so gracious to include one of my vases in the show. It is a really nice collection
of art (needless to say, haha). Their space is brand new and very beautiful, and who knew,
it is three minutes away from our studio! They had super delicious food catered by
Whole Foods and an open bar - hmmm, gin and tonic is my favorite drink!
There was a lot of confusion on my part which piece I had submitted that I kept on bringing
the wrong piece and finally got it right shortly before the show opened.
Anyway, while I was there my piece sold.
Good thing I had the vase that I exchanged before still in my car and now I have
another chance of selling tonight. Yay!
The piece that sold was one of my favorites and the first one of the series. sigh.
I think the reason I kept on messing up with bringing the wrong vase was because
I didn't really want anybody else to own it. It looked quite lovely on my piano.
Well, I'm not complaining...
