little tiny birds and the looming deadline

December 2, 2009

I made this little ornament today.

It is about all I can finish now knowing I'm supposed to be writing and editing and drawing.

That and another of these little assemblages.

They are in my shop today. 

The book is in good shape I think. Really. I just need to buckle down and finish the annoying little details that I've been putting off.  But I'm okay.

Last night was Stella's parent-teacher conference at nursery school.  We walked in and sat down and the teacher turned to us and said, "Stella is a gift." It was wonderful.  And she certainly is.

    What sweet little ornaments! And how gorgeous is it that the teacher said that about Stella? Not unexpected, but not percepted either.
    I made your lizard from the softies book. Come and tell me what you think.
    I know you’re experimenting with different soft toys at the moment. I think a new unique kangaroo would be a challenge. And I would love to see you make a bearded dragon!
    Hugs, Manda.
