Happy Mother’s day to any mommas reading this blog! Hope your day is lovely and you are honored as you should be!

This little plate was given to me by my mom when my son was a wee little one. Those years go by fast.

My boy is now a grown man, it hardly seems real.

Wish I could see my mom today.

now to pack for mailing ~~

One more day of drying, then glazing and details. I don’t know why but this painting was hard to finish, the hair is layered many times over

In just a few days, wow!!

The amaryllis blossom is growing so fast!

amaryllis progress !

And I did not even get out half the cards I intended, so I offer up the high res image I used for my Christmas card. She has the perfect spoiled brat pouty expression, “YOu better not pout”!! I have uploaded this image high res so if anyone wants to use it or have a copy for an ornament, just cut out her shape and punch a hole at the top after you have printed her. Hang her on your tree, she looks cute. I put red wings behind mine.

I simply can not believe its the 25th, and another year is almost over! However you celebrate, whatever your religion or not, have a joyous holiday!

Hope your day is touched by love and good food!!

UPDATE: we had a beautiful quiet Thanksgiving with my bro and his lady. I was immensely pleased with how the turkey turned out and my perfect gravy, (the first time ever!) not a lump in sight!! Her a little glimpse:

beware Trick or Treaters!
