Just Had to smile

Jacob came dashing into the studio this afternoon after spending some time at his friend Steven's house with their great invention. They put a gator aid bottle on their bikes between the wheel and the fender and as Jake said, " it sounds like a motorbike! " I just had to smile and remember my own childhood as he rode around on my Dr. Suess sidewalk making his motorbike noises. I then told him how we used to use a football card and a clothespin to make our bikes sound motorized. I think that surprised him. And surprised him even more when it worked. My funny, sweet boy whose hands and feet are bigger than mine! I'm glad we had a break in the rain so they could bike around the neighborhood. Ah... sweet summers of youth! xxoo, Lois

Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity - Jog!

This is a picture of Regina doing her happy dog roll that I am home and in the studio! I am happy to be home, too and breathe the fresh, wet tornado free air of Port Townsend. Of course, a thousand things await and my head is swimming with new ideas for my work and the shops. It was a great show, better than last year and I do love seeing all my friends. I had a wonderful time with Heidi and Jodi from Lilly Pilly as my neighbors and a special thanks to he-man, Mike Fantz for helping me with my luggage at the airports! Nudge -nudge, wink wink :) I also enjoyed the dinner with Mike and Andrea and Whit and Judy at the Thai Palace. Mmmm - never heard of warm Saki but the next time I don't think I will fall fast asleep, face first on the restaurant table; I am going to try it. More later on my wonderful show treasures! yippee - yippee - I am home! xxoo,Lois
