In a JUG?

 More hearts, sculpted this time not sewn, but they didn't come out as smooth as I had pictured in my head. Have to look for a new material. Snug as a bug in rug in a JUG? 

A little late for Valentine's Day

I started these as part of a series but didn't get around to finishing till this weekend. I hope to make more in fabric and other materials. 

The heart is more than just a symbol of luv.... 

Snow Days From The old Days

This illustration is from the novel, but I thought it fit here.

Stuck inside today. Some things- all snow and Ice...

More snow tonight. I am so ready for spring, but no sign of it coming soon. 

This pic is from an unexpected trip to Lake George last month, during ice storms.
