The way life SHOULD be....

This is what creativity looks like at it's messiest! Who needs a kitchen table anyway? 
It has come to my attention that making silly little things that serve no real purpose makes me happy.  A deep down sort of *aaaahhhh* kind of happy.  Paint under my nails... a jar of crazily colored water from washing my brushes, burning my clay goodies in the toaster oven creating toxic fumes ~ all of it... and three dogs asleep at my feet all the while. 
I can't help but think that it's the way life should be.

A wee mouse and his acorn.



Queen of the pumpkin patch?



My attempt at recreating the drawing in clay...

He has mistaken the ceramic "pie bird" to vent the steam for a real and rather unfortunate little bird... 

and again, the clay version. (and a really bad bird)

I found this little wooden case at the thrift shop for $2.00! It's like someone new it would be the perfect fit for my clay critters, etc.   That little tourquoise ceramic dish was 99 cents... perfect for holding my nature finds.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my recent "thrifting expeditions".... so much fun stuff; and useful stuff too! Well, to me anyway, not so sure the husband see the joy and usefulness in my finds. 

So there you have it..... see?  I CAN be creative when the opportunity presents itself!!  :)
