SO pysched! I’ve got a couple shoots this week with an amazing photographer, Fedora El Morro, with two of my favorite models, Rita and Courtnee, to feature in the show.

If you’re in Seattle, put it on the calender! Thursday, Oct 7th, 6pm.

Sam’s been working on origami wand-toppers for months and mom and I have been faery-makin’.

He’s the sweetest cuddle-muffin, leaps about like a mad velcro-enhanced ninja and likes to wake us up by pushing his tiny face into our chins and purring really loud and rattley. So far the cuteness is almost unbearable.

Sam’s in heaven. Crumpet is really just the perfect kitty for us.

‘Twas tons of fun. Splashing about at the beach with Sam, high tea at Queen Mary’s(forgive me, I forgot to stick my pinkie out).

And to top it off, she bought us a kitten at PAWS!

“Does that look like a polar bear to you?” I asked my mom, somewhat flabbergasted.

She concurred that the cloudy shape resembled a white bear and indeed, the farther it slipped into the house the more it looked like one. It slid through the hole and fell into the house, landing(guessing by the muffled thumping sound) in the living room.

My boys(Sam and another) ran to check it out and mom and I hurried behind them. I figured the animal might hide, but there it was, a yeti now, comfortably ensconced cross-legged on the couch.

Sam was sitting next to him, poking his leg. I said: “Don’t poke the yeti, Sam. He’s our guest.” The yeti didn’t really seem to mind the poking though.

The dream refocused then, I found myself staring, enchanted, at the art on the mantle. It was a painting, shaped like a house, of a house with an owl in the attic-beautifully detailed. Immediately, I knew it was an important protection charm.

There were several others, all house-shaped, with owls as the guardian spirits. I knew I wanted to make these myself.

……………..Now I just need to find some house-shaped wooden canvases!

Love this analogy. So, hmmm… What do I want in my cake? Cups and cups of great art, awesome friends and family, excellent health, great relationships, LOVE, JOY, ABUNDANCE, financial prosperity, delicious food, beautiful garden… Throw in some great books, music, chi gong, beach time, snuggles, fun with my son, chocolate, great conversations. Spice it up with large dashes of dancing, awesome sex, incredible kisses and infuse it with wisdom and compassion, ice it with clarity and beauty and pass me that fork!

So pretty and yummy!

Painted this in my sketchbook last week in an evening of supreme inspiration, finished it on the full moon and posted it on Fb and within an hour, two friends were vying to buy it!
