Heads Without Bodies

Here are a couple of things that I have been working on. Well actually Santa has been standing on my bureau for a few months now waiting for some clothes. His head, hands, and boots are all sculpted from polymer clay. I want him to be dressed as a very traditional Santa and I have get to the store to pick up the fabric that he needs. The young lady below I puttered on today for a while. She still needs some smoothing and touch ups before she gets baked. Not really sure what I have in mind for her yet.....she may end up in the bin with several other bodiless heads if I don't get inspired by her soon!

Mutant Strawberries

The word around town was that the strawberry picking was very good this year so Al, Mandy, and Jamie decided to take Maxie strawberry picking last Saturday morning. The picking was very good, which was a good thing since Maxie probably wouldn't have lasted for much longer than it took to pick a few good sized containers. Once picked, we all had to agree that these were by far the strangest looking strawberries that we have ever seen! Most of them were very large, and many were just a blob of several strawberries all grown together. They may not have been the county fair, blue ribbon winning type of berries, but it was nothing that a little whipped cream couldn't cover!

Mia prefers hers with just a bit of cheese, please!

Hittin' The Open Road

Maddox and Mia are the proud new owners of their very own all terrain Jeep, compliments of Aunt Jamie and Uncle Josh. This particular model is a lovely shade of Fisher Price blue, and comes complete with AM/ FM radio, bucket seats, and the all important sippy cup holder. As one would expect, Maxie couldn't wait to jump in and take it for a spin. After a brief lesson in "proper pressing of the pedal" he was off.

Pressing the pedal proved to be no problem for the boy. Actually steering the thing proved to be quite another. For the next day or two......

Once Mama was comfortable in the knowledge that she had at least a few family members who could run fast enough to catch them, it was time to take little sister for a spin.

They rode......

and they rode........

and rode some more.

I think it is safe to say that she liked it!
