Candy Club Winner!

The Winner of the Bubble Gum Challenge...

Jeanne

from

Wildwood Studios

Here's Jeanne's post-
My Fav is Bubblicious - either cherry or watermelon. And I love to blow bubbles! I used to chew bubblegum so much that I would get a cramp in my jaw! But the one memory that stands out is when I was about 10 or 12 I blew a huge bubble and it burst and splattered gum in my hair. My Mom fussed at me the whole time she cut it out. And I went to school the next day with the hair on one side of my face tremendously shorter than the other. But that didn't keep me from blowing bubbles! :0)

Jeanne will be receiving her very own Sweet B Lollipop Baby

Congratulations Jeanne!

Seeing DOTS and NOTS

Since my cream canvas couch would last about 30 minutes in my new studio/playroom, I decided to paint it and then give it a good scotch guard treatment. The couch is from Ikea and the canvas slipcover runs about $20 - so there wasn't much to lose....

So my slouchy white couchy went from this

To this!

I am currently working on pillows and a footstool to go with it.

my son calls it the Dots Couch.

Speaking of Dots

- I feel I must warn the candy consuming public about a particularly vile candy that is being sold in stores across the country.

First let me say, that I have a pretty high threshold for bad candy. I have been known to eat candy I found repulsive because it was the only candy around and I was jones'n for some sweets. This candy, however, would stay sealed in the box.......even if I was marooned on a desert island with it!
Firstly - the yogurt part of the dots is a weird flesh color - if you can get past that, the chemical after taste is about as far away from yogurt as you can get AND lingers for a looooong time!

I actually spat out the fifth one I tried (told you I had a pretty high tolerance) - the only way someone could eat these would be to nip off the candy colored end - which tastes like a regular dot.
Who came up with this??? Who tested this and thought 'yea - flesh colored yogurt dots - the next best seller!'???

Yogurt dots....Candy NOTS!

Fine Art Show this weekend

I was fortunate enough to attend an exclusive fine art show over the weekend.

The artist was described as "a young up-and coming modernist"

Not sure what that means exactly, but I found his work to be deep and full of meaning...

......if you stare hard enough, you can see that this one for example,

is a cat holding a flower.

And this one is a mother with child.

Unfortunatly the art was not very well received. The tempermental artist stormed off, and the gallery promptly shut down the exhibit, wiping all traces of the artist off of its walls.

A shame really, but then the "no drawing on the walls" rule is there for a reason.

My Husband is working on a room conversion that will give me new work space and play space for our children - it is a race to the finish line - will the baby come before the room is done??? Not if my Husband has anything to say about it!

stay tuned!
