HOW FUN! one of my customers sent me this pic of her Battley doll sitting in his Halloween Tree
Battley is hiding high in his Halloween tree. He has cast a spell over the children's candy corn in their "trick or treat" sacks using his new jingle bat wand. He is the master of all things candy corn!! With a wave of his wand the candy corn become gigantic and scary. When the trick or treaters see this they look up in amazement to see what has caused this magnificent transformation. They can hardly believe their eyes when they spy Battley perched high in his Halloween tree.
see how fun the tiny dolls can be up in a tree!
THANKS GEORGINA!!

THOMAS ALVA EDISON~PAUL DONALD PAYNE
I thought it would be fun to put some of the photos of my grandfather at his desk in the Edison laboratory back in 1930.
If you click on the photo, I believe it will enlarge for you.
I have TONS of paperwork from Paul's desk, Edison signatures and drawings of designs they worked on. It is quite fun to read through all this stuff!

I LOVE BATS!this year's colony sleeping peacefully inbetween the barn rafters

They are brown bats, excellent to have around since they eat at least their weight in bugs every night. We are surrounded by a large creek, so they are quite at home here. They are really adorable, these are babies, learning how to live and survive.
I will try to get some better pics and post them later...
how fun!

STRUGGLING THROUGHguess I didn't think there was anything that could keep me down so long!!
Then I guess I didn't have enough already, so I did it again on April 21.
WOW, THAT ONE GOT ME...I guess I thought I would be up and running again by now
but as the doc said " 3 months".
I am trying hard to get back to normal...but the doc knows best.
Got quite a few doll bodies sewn up for the hospital stay of a week, soI could turn and stuff them, and am busily making them into creatures. Thank God for things to do that we love to do.
It's been quiet, daily messages from Shanna and phone calls from hubby, dogs barking, and FOX NEWS, mixed with old reruns of Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and Beverly Hillbillies fill my lonely and painful days.
Hubby has been wonderful, picking up jello, broth and things I can eat from the store.
Still can't really eat yet...guess that is all part of the recovery process, the parts that they don't warn you about.
Well nuff droning on...back to painting and keeping busy, 3 months is a longgggggggg time.
THANKS TO SHANNA FOR MY LITTLE RECOVERY GIFT!! I LOVE YOU BABY GIRL...thanks for thinking of me...it means the world.

THE STUDIO!Mr. Tom Thumb and his mischief!
note his sneaky little ways


Tom Thumb!~he is a handful, he can't stand to see anyone try to take a cat nap when there is playing to be done!
He will poke and prod and touch as much as he can reach just to see if he can wake Bear up.
It is quite hilarious, so I just sit back and watch.



THE DOOR~this is the door into the studio...
I love my door knockers and real snake skin that we found out by the driveway.
We have a resident black snake (very aggressive, will bite, but not poisonous)who comes around often.
You can just barely see my Taylor 12 string acoustic sitting behind the door!
THE CHAIR~the place where I actually spend 90% of my life!
My mother's chair~left to me after her passing, she would be happy to know it is so inspirational.

One of my studio walls~with Christy Meyers Ashton Drake ornies displayed, and you can just see Tansy Tormental up on the fabric shelf.




One of my favorite views~

THE DESK~and world map so I can see where all the dollies go to live.
And plenty of kitty beds since they follow me from room to room all day long!
Not a particularly "better homes and gardens" style, but it's home, it's me and it's AFFORDABLE...and I can see my horsies from my studio window!!

my little bugster~Skeet, he has a place under my desk.

BLOGGER UPDATE
So many fun things to read and pictures to see, and art to appreciate. As I have mentioned in the past, I only advertise for those who return the favor, so as I check my blogs, I add or delete as necessary.
I would love to add anyone who wants to play!! It is amazing how many 'hits' you will get on your blog from others, especially popular well visited blogs.
Just drop me a note.. and thanks for the entertainment, I really love taking a moment apart from reality, and jumping into yours!!
