Winter Ends With A Bang


It went from ice on the pond yesterday morning, to having the suction cup on the window snowflake heat up enough to have it pop off the window-- and hit the floor with a bang and scatter little bits of crystal everywhere. It's above 60 degrees outside right now and the cat has spent most of the morning sitting on the back porch, watching birds and looking at the grass. I even opened a window and got a start on cleaning out the pond. I also discovered that ants love powdered sugar--J made some cookies last night and I thought that I had gotten up all the crumbs from the floor, but I was wrong, and this morning it looked like Disneyland on Memorial Day weekend. But the kitchen is very clean right now and the cookies were great--linzer cookies with bunnies:

I also got the horns turned around the right way on Tara, and almost finished the dress for her--I think it may need an underskirt, though. Here's Herself:

I also did some fan art for K, a portrait of Kili:

and a sort of companion piece of Tauriel with an outfit mostly designed by K:

(I don't know if the crown is ok with K yet).

  1. Wow that is some gorgeous artwork!! Love the horns as well :)

    I wish the weather was like that here in Finland as well.. Just as we thought that the spring would come, it started snowing and it's all winter again ^^;;

  2. I'm getting horn envy from following your girls. The neighbors wouldn't blink if I suddenly started wearing a pair.

    Your artwork is so mesmerizing, the hubby thought the Kate/Elizabeth one was amazing.

    1. Did you know that around Halloween Target was selling a really good-looking pair of plastic horns for adults that looked just like Beryl horns? After Halloween they went down to 10.00 and I was so tempted, but they would look ridiculous on me. And thank you too!
