Creative Tuesdays - Purple

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

 PURPLE...

My girls suggested that Madeline the Mouse should have a friend - I agreed.

Summer thought that Madeline's best friend would be a frog, so we named her Violet, just in time for

Mr. Toast's Creative Tuesday's.

Come play along with us, here, it's so much fun!
see you there

Creative Tuesdays - Spring

First signs of Spring

begin with baby faces,

tiny and small

filled with

innocence and love.

This is my entry for Creative Tuesdays.

Put a little 'spring' in your step over at Mr. Toast's blog.

 This week's theme, is all about SPRING!
See you there!

Sunday Sketches - Just a little daydream....

Madeline the Mouse has been day dreaming this week of a trip to France. She would love to visit Giverny, and the home of Claude Monet, and munch on a fresh baguette with goat cheese....

How perfectly delightful...

(sigh)....a girl can dream....

...She'll have to wake up sometime, I guess....

I have been working on my Madeline character this week....I guess when I drew Madeline the Mouse daydreaming, she wasn't the only one....

For more Sunday Sketches pop over to The Blue Chair Diary, here...

Come join the fun!

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!

It Sunday, and it's time for Sunday Sketches, hosted by Sophia at The Blue Chair Diary. This is a sketch of an angel cat that I am working on for a Christmas gift. I hope the recipient likes her!

And a big thank you to everyone who left such sweet notes about my home, which you can see here and here. I am so glad you like it! Part 3 will come this week, with a glimpse of some of my favorite ornaments.

So, grab a hot coffee or tea, and pop on over to The Blue Chair Diary and join us. You will like what you see!

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?

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?

Cheers!

Hello Sunday Sketchers.

My friend, Kary, over at The Farmhouse Kitchen,

one of my favorite blogs, shared her recipe for Pilgrim Cocktails with me...

and I am delighted to share it with you.

It's so simple, and it makes a great cocktail to have when guests arrive on Thanksgiving Day.

So here's a toast, to my Sunday Sketch buddies,

I am so thankful to have met you all this year! This is such a great way to start a Sunday.

Sophia, our creative, thoughtful and always gracious host,

is the author of The Blue Chair Diary, home to Sunday Sketches.

Do pop over and say hello!

You will be thankful, you did!
