I love my dog Aejaz. However I didn’t fully noticed how much he really is like a furry satellite until I started trying to photograph things. I can’t tell you how many outtakes I have with random fluffy ears or a tail in them. While attempting to snap a picture of my first finished “Bettie’s Lace Stocking” I decided why fight it? At least he could be useful if he was determined to be in the shot. He made a pretty good foot rest.

For something a little different, I recently attended a BYOB painting class a friend and I had gotten a Groupon for. It was fun and nice to do a little more traditional art again (and while sipping my favorite Lindemans Lambic). While I never really painted on canvas (except for simple pieces for our bedroom) I have always done drawings.

This was a version of Van Gogh’s “Almond Branch”. It has me itching to break out my easel again!
I also couldn’t reisist showing off this hair pretty I got from a friend of mine while visiting my hometown Des Moines. We all know I can’t resist a fun headpiece. She makes lovely hair fascinators and accesorries, check out her stuff at Heather’s Haberdashery.

Aejaz is beautiful. He looks very similar to my dog, Bruce. And those socks are gorgeous.
Those socks are beautiful! And I love Heather’s hair pieces, I have several!
