Big Man in a Swimsuit

An old-fashioned swimsuit and classical toile.

Such a handsome fellow!

Lots and lots of fantastic toile imagery.

A close-up of his hair- black with a bit of grey.

No work today- I got my Covid booster and flu shot and they always knock me down. Today has been a resting day.

What A Week!

The last week has been very exciting. I haven’t sat down at my desk until today!

We closed on our soon-to-be new home:

That’s the lobby :-) Our kids all had to come see. We had a little celebrating:

We sat out in the garden and admired the view. Yep, that is where we will be!

Now it is figuring out contractors, doing paperwork, picking colors, etc., etc., etc. There will be loads of mirrors to remove and floors to uncover. But, we are so excited! Putting our lives back together has begun!

Dark Blue Merman

Before I packed up my studio last winter, I sewed up a number of things/dolls so that I could easily get back to work… well, I wouldn’t say easily, but it has been doable and I am thanking my past self. Mostly I can work on the men dolls, never a bad thing!

I gave him a fancy antique button.
