All My Heart

Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah

Some call me the gangster of love

Some people call me Maurice

Cause I speak of the pompitous of love...

The Joker by the Steve Miller Band. I didnt come up with those words on my own.

This is a series of 43 hearts I rolled baked and painted. They are my own hearts. Each is different because every love you have and encounter is different. February is a special time for me as it is my birthday month and it also contains Valentines Day. This is my most favorite holiday ever since I was a child. they are available in my shop now. I love love...even when it breaks your heart.

Lemon Ice Box Cookies

I love these kind of cookies because you just roll up the dough... refrigerate and slice. I have meyer lemons right now so I am trying to take advantage. Last year someone stole every last one off both of my trees. Oh well what can you do? Anyway I got the recipe here. Enjoy.

Winter Haiku

                                                                                Warm winter sun shines
                                                                               As I stand in the shadows
                                                                                      Remembering us

Winter

Its brisk sunny and windy here right now. I m freezing my butt off but really I cant complain. Here is a  little jelly jar arrangement from the garden of graptoverias and flowering rosemary. I hope you all had a lovely New Year. I have had the winter time blues but I will survive. I cant wait for spring. Its right around the corner well almost.

Chinoserie Tea Towels

Here is a new tea towel in my shop. I love pretty kitchen towels. They are hand printed with a baren from three of my blocks in some of my favorite colors. I printed another of flowers and birds but I didnt like the placement. So I need to give that another whirl. See I have been working on some stuff.

Family Photos

Every Christmas morning we take a photo. This years was particularly hilarious. I end up taking at least 20 with only one maybe two that are usable. The rest are blackmail photos for when they are older. Crying during the photo is usually a given. This year it was notably absent. WHEW! Thank you for all your holiday wishes by the way. I hope I have a better blogging year in 2013. I wish you all out there a great and happy new year!
