F is Not for Fish

at least in this case!


Meet the Fabulous Tatianna, such a demure young bird and so sweetly beautiful! Work it girl


Now meet Raveshing Raven with her steely stare and beauty almost unearthly. She loves to give good face!

side to side work it Raven!




Behind the scenes the girls get ready who will win this walk off

Raven hold your tongue, Tatianna can hold her own and you both are beautiful birds and I am definitely jealous of your boogie!

With apologies to RuPaul these birds were inspired by by his gals and my favs this season on his show. Although Pandora is up on my list and last years Shannel(hail to the Queen!) and Nina are all stand outs and they have inspired me to make more.
These birds are on their way to Main Street Gallery in Clayton Ga they are for sale and more of my over dressed/done chickens/birds will be heading that way. They are embellished with vintage items including broken pieces of jewelery, sequins, glitter, rusty wire all glued on vintage blocks.
Hope you enjoyed this silly little bit of paper fun.

Taking A Time Out!

Ok but first a pic of the boys at play in the studio, notice the shoe in the upper corner. Archie is the culprit. He steals my shoes whenever I leave the house and the sneaky beast hides them in Henry's crate where he apparantely enjoys them and maybe he thinks Henry will get the blame. giggle always something with the new kid.




Anyway I just have been so darned busy I can hardly breathe!!! So I decided to take a time out and as the saying goes, "stop and smell the flowers". I had a wonderful weekend and took some pics of the beautiful flowers around. With the blessings of good weather and beautiful birds and flowers around and things generally going good, my heart just soars and makes me so thankful. I know others are sufferring and I get my life's share of it too, but for now it is not my time for that and I am grateful.

Little surprises are everywhere in my memory garden. On my fence we put up some folk art signs and old wall pockets and odds and ends.


This is such a joy to water (see the hose I lazily left there), to see the water fall from one bucket to the other. I wish the wild flowers were in bloom but look at the geranium!


Look at my rose bush! The other one on the other side of the doors just up and died?


Its really nice to sit out there on sunny days and watch the lil Bostons chase each other into exhaustion!

Here are some flowers in the front of the house, under the window boxes.




The entrance of my home has one of my very first Nostalgic Folk Art figures and Jan Brown's (Big Brown Dog Primitives)art work of 2 Bostons, which represent Henry and Archie.
So thanks for visiting my blog and letting me share my pics and hopefully you'll have the best day today!!!

Update on The Boston Babies

Here are my boys, Henry and Archie at play usually its in the Nostalgic Folk Art studio which makes it hard to work when they are so funny to watch, but they are all over the place today. Archie the puppy just goes and goes and poor Henry is never allowed to have a toy to himself. Which is so weird as he definitely whoops his butt when they rough house. Well he's never rough with him even though wouldnt blame him now and then, but he definitely can put him in his place. As you can see (well barely from the pic)Archie is a toy hoarder, he must have all the balls and refuses to share with Henry.


A picture of my darling Henry. He's so danged cute!


Now here's Archie's mug shots giggle, he is so funny and such a pest and a great snuggler!



Lil Archie enjoying the spoils of war! (Henry always lets him win)


These two fellas are such a joy in our house and I'm so in love with this breed. Can ya tell? :)
