I'm homesick

I've been visiting my parents since Dec. 21st and will be returning home this weekend ... I think.

I'm homesick. I miss my hubbahubby so much. He had to work and couldn't make this trip. Bleh. I've talked to him each night on the phone but it just makes me miss him even more.

I miss my two silly dogs. Sometimes they annoy the hell out of me but they make me laugh with their goofiness.

I miss my studio. AARRGHHHH ... I so want to bury my hands in some clay and splash paint around. I'm going through withdrawals here folks and it's about to get ugly!

I miss my pillow and my bed. Even though my parent's guest bedroom is comfy and warm it's just not the same. This house makes weird noises at night. I know the creaks and cracks of my own house at night, I don't know the sounds here and they're freaky.

Damn it all! I missed the first snowfall this year. I didn't get to wake my hubbahubby up with the first snowball on his tummy while sleeping snugly in bed. Sigh! Don't worry babe, I'll make up for it with the next snowfall. :)

It's been a good trip. Got to visit my youngest brother and his wonderful wife. Love my sister-in-law, she rocks! Caught up with a few old friends. Met my cousin's hubby, super nice guy, funny and a smartass. Ate lots of really yummy food, my parents can cook like no one else, yum yum yummy. Got to see the town, lots of new stuff but still a lot of the old around. Today mom is driving me to Victoria to go to the big craft store. That woman is pure evil I tell ya! She's trying to drive me over the edge with temptation. I have a feeling I'm going to blow my Christmas money today.

Here's wishing you all a very Happy New Year! Now get back to work and create new wonderful must haves for this year. I know I am going to.

Let it Snow! ornament

I just love the expression on his face, so content and happy with the new snowfall. I had some custom glass icicles made for me to add to my sculptures and I think this one looks wonderful hanging from his nose.



This will be my last ornament for this Christmas. I'm getting on a jet on Monday to fly to my folks for Christmas and New Years and Mom and I will be baking up a storm so I'll be too busy playing in flour with no time to play in clay. I will bring a sketch pad though, just so I don't lose what's left of my mind. I already have new designs swirling around in my mind and if I don't get them down on paper I'm pretty sure I'll drive my folks bananas and that really is the last thing I want to do. Mom may be much shorter than me but she can still put me in my place ... lol

HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all of you! May you and yours share goods times, love, laughter and an extra slice of pie!

Snowman ornament.

I'm on a roll today. I just finished this snowman ornament. This one even got a comment from my often quiet hubbahubby. He likes the detail on the hat, said it looks like real knit. Love that man! He does love my art but admits he's no artist so mostly I get, "That's nice" When he picks out a detail it just about knocks me over.

It's sculpted in paperclay, is about 4" tall with wire. Can any of you tell I'm getting hooked on paperclay? I call this one "Fa La La"

New Snowman and Cardinal ornament

Just finished my newest snowman ornament late last night. I just love the way it turned out. It's going to be hard to let this one go. My hubbahubby loves cardinals and I love snowman, it's what inspired me to start making these. Everytime I make a new one I just want to tuck it into our collection. But I know in my heart I was creating it for someone else.

Nice voice

Was chatting with a new facebook friend when he let me in on the fact that he sings. He even has his own youtube page. I thought you all might like to hear him, he has a really nice voice and he's cute to boot! samme kedeman

Okay Sam, sing your heart out for us!
