Teddy Bears

Hello again! I would love to say that I have been jetting around Scotland admiring more castles this week, but alas, we had a much needed weekend at home. We ended up taking the kids to Fun Beach on Monday ( a bank holiday) evening to play some arcade games and to treat Brian to dinner at Frankie and Benny's as an early birthday treat. He was really looking forward to this cinnamon waffle dessert, the entire reason we waited for 45 minutes for a table. Unfortunately, had we read the sign above the door, we would have seen that they were out of desserts. Go figure!

Still, we had a nice long weekend together. It was a really great weekend for me. I got to go cake supply shopping and got a new camera that I can actually use. (In the dictionary, if you look up photography dummy, you will see my picture.) In my last post, I mentioned that I was hoping to get started on some figure modeling projects. I completed one this weekend, even though it was promptly destroyed by the little boy across the street. Poor teddy bear suffered from blunt force trauma. :-( Here is a picture of what it looked like in its pre-mortem state....


Currently I am working on a baby on a quilt. Currently, it is headless...but I hope to rectify that soon. Of course, before I can play, I have to get the laundry done.

Brian's birthday was yesterday. I made him "Nonicotti" for dinner. He requested manicotti, but I was unable to find manicotti pasta, so I made up my own concoction using smaller shells and my own blend of cheeses. It turned out pretty good if I say so myself. :-) I think he had a nice birthday, even though it was pretty low key. Do any of us really want to celebrate 35 anyway?

Well, that is all for now. I hope to finish my second project this week and will share it with you if I do. Until then, enjoy the rain because it brings out the most beautiful flowers...At least it does here! -W
