Set up is always a little frustrating for me, because there’s not much I can do as hubby does most of the set up. I become the assistant that just gets in the way. As much as I thought we would ‘kill’ Craft Wars, I think we would end up killing each other first.
iPhone so the quality is not very clear…
I completed my Canvas Corp models for the summer CHA next week. If you’re in Chicago, you might run into some pretty cool bloggers. Unfortunately, I won’t be there but I’m sending a little piece of me through the mail this week…:) BTW, that chubby little baby on the pram, is yours truly (some things never change, speaking of my chubby cheeks).
The kiddies are on summer vacation which means we will hopefully be doing a lot of this. They have been so patient while I painted my mural. I still have some other deadlines to meet but they come first right now….
Oh, and remember this delectable treat? Well, apparently calling this pastry by its commonly known Canadian name is a no no. I received a gentle nudge from their legal department stating that I needed to either delete the post or change the name of this ‘cannot call it by its name’ pastry. I haven’t gotten around to changing the post yet, so I’ve drafted it until I come up with my own clever name. I guess I failed to notice the giant TM beside its name…:(
And lastly, I got my hands on some Queen Anne’s Lace and will show you more later on this week.
This was a long post, and sorry for all the rambling, but it felt like I had not talked to you in days.
Be happy!
much love,
Lucy

Your mural is lovely! Must have taken soooo long to make!
And by the way, I’ve heard some people call the fried dough “elephant ears”, and I do agree that they kind of look like elephant ears 🙂 Hope it helps!

Your butterflies are amazing!!! AMAZING! I know they lose something in a flat photo but I can imagine how beautiful they are up close with the slightest breeze moving the wings. How awesome!
You know-how crazy is that they they won’t let you use the name of that pastry? I mean, seriously- you would think they would be glad to have someone promoting them! Crazy world we live in.
Have fun with your kids, Lu. You deserve some play time now- xo Diana

How strange about the pastry.

Such a gorgeous mural. Love how you did different sizes so it looked like they were flying near and far. And the three-dimensional butterflies! SO much work.
