go dog go, or hamster or ...

cat or?

 The assignment was to put yourself and your pet, family or friends

in a vehicle and go for a country drive.

The driver could be animal or person.

So hold on...

What a fun ride!

Wouldn't it be fun to hop into one of these cars

and cruise?

beep beep, vrooom...

happy heart day

 Have a great heart day!

We had fun making these; 

well I can't say Zoe did...

not easy making your dog look at the camera

while you are hugging her too.

Oh well she survived.

you probably think all we do in Seattle is drink coffee...

and you would be right-

at least in winter when the yellow orb makes little appearance.

I need my latte even if it is only decaf.

 My husband stacked these on the kitchen counter

and they just invited a photo op - don't you think?

 And the above shot is at coffee house last weekend.

Now I am just messing with different phone apps.

 Finally here is a shadow reflected on the wall

while we were again sipping those lattes.

Hope you each have a wonderful weekend.

I do foresee some plaster painting for me - 

gotta get my artfest trades started.
As picnik will be shutting down soon, 
What are your favorite photo apps for iphone
or photoshop or ?
I would love to know...
please!

penguin parade

 A penguin parade - 

what more could we do to encourage winter

to march away and not return?

We have experienced the most gorgeous spring-like weather

this past week,

but the clouds are returning and a little panic is setting in.

We are on to paper clay birds in bright spring-like colors

and the most brilliant collages with the students driving cars full of their pets.

You will have to wait to see them... sorry.

I try not to slurp...really I do

 The sun is OUT,

and this cappuccino sits before me

in a quintessential Seattle coffee house

teasing me to go slow...

but I can't.

Nothing sadder than an empty cup.

Did I mention the sun is a 

glorious yellow disk

radiating down on us?

Oh lovely day.

Just loving the ScratchCam app...

can't get enough grunge in my photos lately.

polar bear party

What would a polar bear party look like?

 Would they dance in front of a sunset?

 Eat a snowflake or two?

 Love the silhouetted trees?

 Be in awe of the colors

 and ready to sleep after so much fun?

wish I could party with them...

How about you?

please play with your food...

It's been a hard week...

After the storm ended our heater went on strike,

so we got a new one ($$$ sigh)

and then the power went out again.

Our yard looks like a bomb went off in it - 

looked kinda nice when it was covered in snow,

but now the two broken trees look really sad.

Well this link to the photo above and many more

cheered me up so take a look if you need a smile -

and who doesn't?
I will be back later with two new kiddo projects
and some happy art news too.
