First signs of Spring

begin with baby faces,

tiny and small

filled with

innocence and love.

Creative Tuesdays - Breakfast

What's breakfast without Toast and Butter?

Usually my breakfast consists of a Venti Skim Misto from Starbucks, but on the weekends I like to splurge with a bit of Calandra bread toasted and smothered with Cabot butter
....and lots of it.

I love butter on pretty much everything!

Breakfast is the theme over at Creative Tuesday's today. Come join the fun!

See you there!

Creative Tuesdays - Lucky

 Madeline was the luckiest mouse of all...she had found her four leaf clover!

and when I saw the Creative Tuesday's prompt over at Mr. Toast's I quickly sketched this out...

Just a few little good luck charms for my friends, over there.

Well, one thing I know is that I am lucky to have found such a wonderful group of people here in the blog world to share my days with! 

Thank you for that!

Now, I am off to visit Mr. Toast, and see all of the creative entries!

Lucky me!

Grab a pencil and paper and come join us!

Creative Tuesdays - Scarf

"Life's truest happiness, is found in friendships we make along the way"
It's time for Creative Tuesdays, with Mr. Toast.

This time around, the theme is scarf. I couldn't help but think of a cute little snowman wrapped up in a scarf....sharing a hug with his new best friend.

Yes, I've got winter on my mind....
So,  let's go visit, Mr. Toast and my Creative Tuesday friends!

Creative Tuesdays - New Year

"Live according to your own idea of happiness..."

Pico Iver

What is your own idea of happiness? Do you live by that idea? Well, too often we can caught up in what should make us happy rather than what does make us happy.

One of my New Year's resolutions is to live the way that makes ME happiest...The real ME!

And one of the things that makes me happy is drawing and being creative.  So, it's time to visit Mr. Toast at Creative Tuesdays. It's the first Creative Tuesday of the New Year. I can't wait to see what my friends have created.

I am also submitting this for the Illustration Friday prompt....Resolutions...

Creative Tuesdays - Holidays

BELIEVE

in the magic of the HOLIDAYS

This week's theme over at Creative Tuesday's is Holidays

My litte Percy Peroo, believes, do you?

Sequins, Scotland....and Tea!

 September Vogue 2010
I've decided upon this glamorous sequined gown

from yes, one my favorite designers, Marc Jacobs, to wear to

 Mr. Toast's Tea this Sunday.

I can't wait to visit with all of my blog friends

over at The Isle of Mull, in Scotland.

I may be a scoche late,

as I will be coming from here,  

delightful, isn't it? Yes, I am being pampered!

It's one of my favorite places, nestled along the the rocky east coast of the U.S.,
just a short hop across the Atlantic from Scotland...Yes, there is a Starbucks, here, too!

It's a tradition with my family to visit with Santa here, every year, to kick off the holiday season. 
So after my visit,
with The Claus Family, I will be off to The Isle of Mull...

hmmm, now for transportation....

"No dear Will, we can't take a cab across the ocean..."

Isn't my date the cutest?

I love a man who believes in Christmas....

See You Sunday at The Tea

Creative Tuesdays - Heaven

To me, the holiday season is heavenly....
and even more heavenly when I am surrounded by my favorite things....

 To me, the first snow, is also heavenly

 

There is something about the quiet beauty of the first snow, 
that is just heavenly to me.
How about you?

Please join us over at Mr. Toast's Blog, for more Creative Tuesday art!
Hope to see you there!

I created the second image as a close-up watercolor
 of the little snow family outside my window....they look like they are in heaven, don't they?

Mr. Toast is also hosting a Christmas Tea. Have you heard?

You've GOT Mail and TEA


I got mail this weekend, from Mr. Toast! YES! I was the winner of a contest over at his blog Hot Toast and Jam. I correctly guessed the location of this year's Christmas Tea...We are going to the Isle of Mull in Scotland. How fabulous, a box just for me. I must admit my family was a tad bit jealous when the box came...addressed to ME! Inside were delightful confections of chocolate and a box of English Tea, a little Elf, and a hand written note from our host, Mr. Toast, himself.

Just look at all of these goodies!

While I had my tea, I sat and picked out a few outfits to bring along with me.

Vogue September 2010

Every girl needs a little plaid when visiting Scotland,

so this Carolina Herrera dress is perfect for my trip overseas.

New York Times Style Travel Magazine Winter 2010

and when I get there, I will need some time to relax after the long journey, maybe grab a cup of tea with the host - AND,   I have heard it can get quite blustery on the northern shores of Scotland, so I think this gorgeous dress and jacket from Roberto Cavalli will keep me nice and toasty while we explore

the lovely Torosay Castle.

Now...as for a date? Hmmm?

will, bradley or Jude?

what do you think?

So, thanks again Mr. Toast, for this wonderful gift.

You surely are a wonderful host!

Creative Tuesdays - Birthday

Happy Birthday to the BIG cheese

and

It's My Party and I'll Cry if I want to....

I colored in this sketch of my daughter,

using my new Prisma markers. You can find the original sketch and story, here

They are fun but the colors are so much stronger than the watercolors and colored pencils I use.

I have to get used to it.

So a big Happy Birthday post for Creative Tuesdays.

you really will have a good time, there!
