A Great Raw Snack...Any Way You Slice It!


Raw vegan 'Sour Cream' and sliced cucumbers. Yum. Thanks to Judy Belcher for her advice to diligently practice cane slicing to become proficient at making uniform pieces. Who knew it would serve her well in food preparation. No learning is ever wasted...skills transfer from one one art form to the next!!!

Nana Nana na na


She read somewhere that the melody that is linked with Nana Nana na na is a universal taunting sound....how bizarre is that? The thought that she could go anywhere in the world and and annoy anyone on the earth with that melody is very Twilight Zone. She'd rather make people happy...what sound would do that? Laughter perhaps?

As much fun to make as they are to wear.....


Sean models the newest in yoga pants. He picked the fabric, Artistgirl made them. Sean wears them well.

The Stars Align


Hand painted cards are so much fun to make and give. Too bad it only happens when the stars align and time permits.
