I love doodles! Several years ago I saw a picture online where someone had done a doodle design that covered the whole page. I said to myself, "I can do that!" You already know that I began drawing intricate, detailed designs because they helped me focus during times when I needed it most. But sometimes they …
A couple of months ago, in keeping with my quest to make my home unique and whimsical, I got the idea to have a Talavera theme in my kitchen. It's far from finished, but I do have some pictures of its progress to show you. First there were the paint chips. I kept them around for …
Hi all! It's me, Foster. Mom and I went on a huge adventure for Christmas! And because I was so well behaved, she said I could do a post about it! I knew something was up when Mom bought this new cat carrier. I figured, okay, we're going to the vet, that's no big deal. I can …
Who doesn't love paisleys? (Don't raise your hand, I already know some of you don't!) But whether it's from growing up during the 60s and 70s, or just because paisleys are so "artsy-looking", they have always been one of my favorite motifs.

It all started one night last week, when I can only speculate that Foster got ahold of some extra-strength catnip.

Hey everyone! I'm in the process of creating some Christmas cards and ornaments for my Zazzle store! So far I have several designs, and they are easily customizable! And of course, your favorite cat Foster is featured in some of the designs! Zazzle is pretty fast with their deliveries, but if you already have your …
Panda was missing. One of the last times I remembered seeing him was the morning I woke up to this sight; he had apparently been put in "time out" the night before. Maybe he got offended and decided to run away...but since neither he nor Foster are allowed outdoors, I knew he couldn't have gone far. But he was …
Peacocks in art have always fascinated me. So it was natural that a couple of years ago I would go through a "peacock phase". Here are some pictures from that endeavor. Awhile back I made up a notebook where I kept clip art of things I wanted to eventually try drawing. These peacocks were actually supposed to …
For a cat, some people say I'm spoiled. That's because Mom is always doing stuff to make my life interesting. But she says she's also doing it to make her life interesting, because watching me really keeps her entertained. So it should not have come as any surprise to me when she came home one day …
Who doesn't love gingerbread men? Besides being delicious, they are also cheerful, whimsical, resourceful, and energetic. It may come as a surprise to you to know that gingerbread men actually lead quite eventful lives when you are not looking! When my grandson was about eight years old, he got the idea of making gingerbread men into characters for …
