Mushy Milo

Another design today....  I needed a card with a Mushy Milo....

Precious

I did my very first pet portrait for someone in California -
Today she sent me a photo of the print all matted and framed and ready for the wall...
I love this photo!

Kitty Hugs

One of those mornings where I just want to hug the kitty.  Milo had dental work done yesterday - and the poor baby boy had to be put out with anesthesia - he came home and was so out of it.  My heart was crushed.  I hate seeing him this way... Poor baby boy.  This morning he's been by my side - very needy - and I keep reassuring him that nothing bad will happen to him today - that it's all about the kitty.  So, this morning's design is based on MY need to hug a kitty!  This isn't "milo" - but - It shows my little kid's free spirit - and the attitude still inside the kitty!

Asia

My newest pet portrait - Asia - (Design time - 4 hours)

Strawberry Festival Day

The weather was beyond perfect - a bit hot - but that beats rain and wind!  Upper Union Street was bustling with many people - it was truly the best day ever.  I had so many people at my table - giggling - pointing - asking where are you located?!!  It was joyful!  I'm really not a huge people person kind of gal - but - out of my shell I came yesterday! 

I'm excited to say - I received two possible pet portrait jobs and one baby shower invitation job!  It was a good day to be on Upper Union Street yesterday!

Strawberry Festival Eve

Tomorrow is the big day!  I'm finally finished with production and table set up.  I had quite the week not really knowing how to assemble my banner - thanks to Facebook - I had a few good suggestions - I found myself in Lows frantically searching high and low for what I thought would work - finally - I ended up at customer service making some hand gestures and trying to explain what I was looking for.  I ended up coming home with two 4" clamps - then the rest kind of fell into place.  I had a few hours of brainstorming - and I'm happy to say - I think between the clamps and the bed risers for the table - all is well....

The following photos show my table - I am so happy to be done at a reasonable hour.... Now I can shut down my studio and get a good night's rest.  The festival is from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 and the weather forecast is calling for 90 degree weather.  My goodness!!
