An Irish Blessing






Mr. Leprechaun is finished and now listed on Ebay


He is my very first full bodied sculpture and I am thrilled with how he turned out. Sure hope you all love him too.


I love birthdays!! The more you have, the longer you live!!


Well yesterday (Saturday) was my 40 ish birthday and it was awesome. I did some shopping, of coarse it included art supplies, much more fun than buying clothes well at least to me it is, lol. Of coarse I couldn't come home until I had some new yarn too, you can't ever have enough yarn, giggle, giggle, snort... I went to three craft stores and I was in my glory!!! And very achey and breaky today though, the "ish" part of my birthday definetly shows more each year but it really is just a number. I bought some polymer clay, a couple of cones, a new crochet pattern book (yes, I already have probably a couple hundred books, but whats one more that I don't use but have to have, hehehehehehe), took a couple of those free patterns of coarse too. Did you know they have a free crochet pattern out there for snuggies, oh yeah had to have that one. Bought a couple of Artsy things for the grand kids to and some other misc. art supplies. Had some birthday cake, spent some time with my grand kids, hubby and son. What a fantastic day, now back to the real world, laundry, dishes, etc. But for one day I did nothing but what I wanted to do, no housework, what a life, I could get use to that very easily, lol.


Well back to creating those Easter Bunnies.


Sure hope you had a great weekend too!!

  2. I am so tickled that you got to do nothing for your birthday! How fun to go shopping and not feel the need to hurry up to get home to start dinner. I would rather go to a sewing/craft store too than to go buy clothing. But, you do need to take more than one day a year for you, you do deserve it! Your Leprechaun is fantastic! He turned out awesome! Hope that your week is as wonderful as your weekend was!
