despite her red boots.....

...oh that Mildred, always crashing the party just as I find someone interesting to talk to...




...look at her with those bright red boots, always making sure she gets all of the attention!




... let's just hope I have done enough to keep this one interested :)

oh, how good it feels to finally accomplish a piece that just worked perfectly from start to finish! I should be used to this cycle by now, where one can often find themselves in struggle upon struggle as one continues to work. Three pieces full of labour and anguish finally gave way to a work that caused nothing but peace and happiness. Just when you are ready to hang in the towel, the perfect one comes along to get you right back on track!!! yes, indeed....this felt good.

...so good, in fact, that I may just have to pick up that towel again and take a nice soothing bath as a little reward.

****Don't forget about the print GIVEAWAY! the deadline ends at 10:30pm tonight, so make sure to get your name in! (see post below) *******
