Thank you for your post! I love hearing about what you are up to and seeing the beautiful colors in your home and the sweet critters- and I enjoy exploring the links you share. I am so excited too about "all creatures "tonight! I love that you wait. We rarely need to wait for anything these days- and isn't expectation and things to look forward to a lovely thing?I recently retired from a 24 year museum job- and in my studio I am making paper mache garden sculptures with cement clay and preparing to teach that in March at our local art center, knitting, upcycling mens sweaters with crochet granny squares and already working on my annual full moon calendar for 2027 ( each month a gouache painting of the moon (this month it's the wolf) that all get formatted into a printed 12x18 poster.I am also learning how to animate my paintings on Procreate dreams, If I don't create every day it's not a good day! Cheers to 2026! Love the watercolor too! Maybe this year I'll make it to your farmers market and snag a towel!

Thx for your note Sally. I’m going to have to learn what cement clay is! Sounds interesting.

Jonni is so generous with her recipes! I love to sculpt but no access to kiln so this is perfect for me!

Luna Park is amazing, and in New Jersey! Ricky has open houses occasionally if you ever want to go and see it in person!

I went years ago. It’s very cool. It’s up in Sussex County - I forget what town.

The new Lamb is precious 💞...yes, the ice is terrible here but the January thaw will fix that...

Oh I would love one of your mugs! I'll have to keep a sharp eye out. Stay warm and Blessings.
