What? Were you born yesterday?

Maddy day 2......

As a matter of fact...

Here is a wild one...My grand nephew, Brian, and wife Dana had their baby on the same day, in Santa Maria! There was a little problem and baby Gregory was delivered by C section. Then for safety he was brought to the neonatal at Cottage in Santa Barbara. So Maddy and Gregory are both here! Gregory is doing well, last report.

Madison Marie McCutcheon is here!

7 pounds 6 oz. 18 1/2 inches long....Born at 8: 30 AM. Mother and daughter are doing fine. She is sooooo pretty. Do I sound like a Grandma yet?

Here is proud Grandpa

Here is a happy Auntie Ellie...

I am sure you will see more photos but I am exhausted!
Thank you everyone who sent Jill and baby good thoughts and kind words. Much appreciated!

I love this

I not here yet...but almost!

Happy Easter Everybody!

We will be celebrating by preforming our usual annual Easter ritual of eating... sausage balls, Dutch babies, pineapple, raspberries. OJ, deviled eggs and cinnamon rolls. But next year we will have a little girl here to hunt for Easter eggs.
Jill's little girl ( no name yet) is scheduled to arrive by C section on Friday March 28 at 7:15 AM- ish..... We are all getting pretty excited! She already has a mind of her own ....she is breech....

Oh and my other news is I am published in the latest Haute Handbag..page 90, 91 and 92.


ENJOY THE SPRING DAY!

Our first ATC day at the ART CLINIC

Carol and I were so excited to have a good turn out at the first ATC gathering! Thanks everyone who came. I hope to see more ACTers the next third Thurs. which will be April 18 for those who want to get that on their calendar.....There are more photos on the ART CLINIC blog.

These are Susan H.'s..... who came early then did not leave hers so we could trade them for her. Everyone's loss.....

Here is Jill busy working on some ATCs....

The other news is several of the ART CLINIC artists are now hanging at Art Brut in Los Alamos. Sukie, Carol, Jo, Sue and I so far are on display. Here is the display in the adjoining Cafe Quackenbush.

Spring is here.....where I live anyway

It has been sooo beautiful lately. All the fruit trees are blooming, iris are out and the pig will move in soon across the street....But the best part of this spring like time is...the pink chicks are back in the store!I love theses guys!
GET OFF HER FOOT CHUCKY!

Leap Day at the ART CLINIC

We just had our first anniversary party for the ART CLINIC. It was a really fun night. Thank you so much everyone who came and all our supporters. Carol and I appreciate you so much.

It has been a big week. Sunday Earl helped me get my show at New Frontiers up. I was very happy with the way it all looked.


I had a challenge due, busy getting the studio cleaned up and helping Carol with some details for the student show for the local students put on by the Artist's Guild of Santa Ynez Valley. I am looking forward to a less hectic week.
