Spring snow?

We woke up this morning to a dusting of Spring snow. Brrrrr.... Now awaiting the next storm. Come on Summer!! Give me the heat!

What is this?

Sharing my paint palette with you. Sometimes when I get my palette too wet some beautiful surprises happen over night. Instead of washing it down the drain I thought I would take a picture of the how pretty this was :)

Raven hair and Ruby lips painting

Just finished this and it can be found
on my website at www.pumpkin-seeds.com click
on the painting page. As with all art work its much more vibrant and detailed in person.

Daughters Frog Painting

My daughter joined etsy during her spring break. This is her first acrylic painting that she added to her new shop :) www.luminousstars.etsy.com

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL :)

Roxy before and after...

Roxy BEFORE....



Roxy after...



Today was a big day. I finally gave in and got Roxy groomed. I loved the old Roxy with all the scruffy "wake up morning" hair but if you have a Standard Poodle you know that this is a must. These dogs have the finest of hair (yes they call it hair not fur) and it not only tangles easily but it is also a magnet for nastyness. Her raw hide juice will now be limited. She also loves to lick banana slugs! Imagine that on a scruffy face! I wonder what the attraction is?
So now she sits on the floor very mad at me for doing this. No joke. I got the "look" and now I am being ignored. Roxy~ I love you. Fluff or no fluff xoxox

Last weeks challenge of "pantry" viewing was Dani's from http://ambitionsdesign.blogspot.com/. Marie asked for baby photo's but this was all I had. All photo's are in storage back in CA. This photo (wont tell you how old it is!) was taken back in San Jose, California at a little amusement park called Happy Hollow. With me is my brother :) Handsome little man! Miss you bro!
