DixieLand in LadyBirdLand!
Elizabeth's birthday was last week, and after the success of Lisa's picture, I knew I had to do a portrait of Dixie. And here it is! It was SO FUN to do that I'm going to start offering commissions for people's dogs on my Etsy site. I've never done a commission before, but I can imagine how fun it will be!

OOOOH! A PRIZE!!
Tonight we had our first family dinner by the new backyard, and LOOK what we found!! I must have scared the momma as I walked within one inch of her without knowing! When we looked at the nest, we could see one of the eggs on the ground. I don't know if it had just fallen that second as the mom ran away, or if it had been on the ground a while. Olivia got a leaf and carefully cradled the egg in it, then moved the egg - careful, careful! - into the nest. So cool! Picture forthcoming!

I want this...
My family thinks I'm distinctly odd for this one, but omgoshIwantthisdeerhead!!
It's so cool, but will I get disowned for having it? And where would it best fit...

May 13th...
Ooh, I keep thinking it's only been a day or two since I last blogged, and then... it's a week!
Where to begin, where to begin... I have a guinea pig on my lap - is that interesting? Little Lilly, Olivia's guinea pig is currently sitting (on a towel 'cause guinea pigs pee a TON) and eating carrot sniblets.
What else... we redid our backyard this spring, and now I want to cram it full of yard art! The funkier the better! I bought a few wonderful flowers from Coffee Pot People. This one is my favorite:
But I love them all, and will post a photo of them in situ later!
Oh, one of my favorite artists is Dolan Geiman. I bought this piece a while back
and I love it! So when the Dolan Geiman newsletter came out, offering a prize for showing your DG piece in its setting, I acted like I wanted to be the 107th caller on the radio station. I RAN RAN RAN to my camera and took a picture of the birdie on my green garage door!! I hope I win I hope I win I hope I win! (As an aside, go to Dolan's flickr site if you want to see some horrid photos of his art fair booth in disarray. I guess there was a massive storm and it ruined everything. So sad...)
