My Class starts tonight!

I am busy getting everything ready and set up at the gallery for my first floorcloth class! I have 8 fabulous students ready to paint a rug- and hopefully have a great time doing it. I am really looking forward to this. It is going to be a nice day too- a good Monday to all!

feeling better...

I'm feeling a bit better today although yesterday was a tough one! I was so out of it all day. I even lost my pan of brownies somewhere between the gallery and home! I have no idea where I set them down. I went back to the shop to see if they were around, but I didn't see them anywhere. Then I realized after I meet Wilson at the bus, the zipper was totally down on my jeans! Thank goodness I had a long sweater on, and I don't think anyone noticed! Luckily I slept well last night, and I am feeling better today. I am getting ready to get to the gallery- I am hoping my pan of brownies will be sitting there waiting for me- and my zipper is up!

Space case!

I thought I would make banana muffins today- use those over ripe bananas on top of the fridge... I mixed them up and cooked them. They came out of the oven and looked a little pale, but they were done- a little hard actually. Then Wilson and I tried one- YUCK!! What had I done wrong???? I forgot the baking soda- rookie mistake, man what is wrong with me? I'll tell ya what is wrong- HEAD COLD! I can hardly see straight. Plus I look like I'm wearing a little clown nose.
So I whipped up some brownies, Don and Wils will eat them even if nobody else does, they came out perfect!

goodies in the oven

A few fresh baked goodies in the oven. Here is a single switch plate, a picnic salt & pep set, and a votive candle holder, all cooked off and ready to display. I have been working on a bunch of smaller "quick sale" items lately. These less expensive pieces always sell well and make great gifts that pretty much anyone can afford. I like to have a really good stock of this kind of stuff when I start the Farmers' Market in May.
Pretty interesting story this morning on GMA. This women did an experiment on spending $1.00 a day to eat for a month. Great idea, although it would be a lot of work just to figure out exactly how much is spent on food per meal everyday. Wow, it makes my head spin! Still, kind of a good story.
I just caught a glimpse out the window- It is snowing! Big, fluffy, white flakes! So much for my "ode to Spring" yesterday. It might not be here yet...

Have you seen one yet?

I am waiting for a sign of spring. I took this photo of a baby robin last year, and I am on the look out for one of my favorite signs of spring. I have a feeling with the warmth and the wet ground (it smells like worms) they are on their way north! Keep a look out for spring!

Still a bit under the weather...

Wilson is still not quite back to normal. His fever has gone down, and he has a bit more energy, but he needs at least one more day of rest. I took him to the doctor, and he said it was viral, and should clear up in the next day or so. The fever has gone down, and he is feeling better, but he needs one more day. It looks like I will be dragging him to the hair salon- I can't let a sick kid get in the way of beauty! Actually he will welcome the change of scenery. I have his little DVD player charged up and he will be happy to watch a movie while mommy gets gorgeous.

Nurse Nancy????

My husband just informed me that "Nurse Nancy"(see post below) was the porn movie that Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman) was at when he was arrested. Now there is a trivia question! I'm not quite sure how he knew this...
