It's Thursday, and......

Tomorrow! Friday March 5, 2010 - Must See of the Year!

Excited? Oh Yeah!

So, I just got back from the dentist and aside from the argyle socks and the short red hair (and the fact I'm not a boy or a child), that was pretty much me. I have some major dental work ahead of me - a lot of it attributable to the fact that I have a profound fear of the dentist and put off going for several years. Really silly because dentistry has changed so much since I was a child when this fear developed.

I'm off to run some errands and just enjoy our fabulous weather - snow is melting quickly and the sun is shining.

Will be back later to post some completed Kindred pics.

The Day After

This post will primarily be appreciated by my fellow Canadians. What a roller-coaster two weeks, culminating in the incredible hockey game yesterday between two fantastic teams, Canada and the US, 14 gold medals for Canada, and the closing Olympic 2010 ceremony.

The following video montage, put together by Globe and Mail's columnist, Stephen Brunt, sums up the pride that we as Canadians'
finally exhibited ....... in bushels!

So proud to be Canadian!

Under The Wire

(this is not my dark angel, but a little fae that I did several years ago)

As per usual, I am just under the wire for completing my angel piece for the ADO Monthly Challenge. I set a goal to try and do every challenge this year and got off to a rocky start by missing the January one! This challenge, as can be seen is angels

I decided to do a dark angel. This piece is one of my Kindreds, so I did not want her to be too dark, but I didn't want her all light and fluff either. She is shown below as a WIP, with her gown (antique beaded netting), and the very rough templates I made for her wings.

Below, she is getting her hair "done". Messy, messy job.

Done! I am going to have to figure out what my hubby did to the settings in my camera when he borrowed it, as I am not happy at all with how my pics are turning out.

I truly believe we all have angels in our lives. Just as we are so unique, angels must be too - perhaps not all have earned their white wings yet...just like this little gal

Now I have to find my manual for my camera and retake some pics so I can list her in my Etsy shop

By the way - did I vaguely hear the word "Spring" mentioned recently? Last weekend, (no snow, sunny) I would have believed it. Today? Not so much
