Yes, I am taking a short break that started out ONLY because I was going to take a short trip to California. However, I had to cancel it. BOO HOO. I wanted to see family and friends and to run out to the beach at least one day of my stay, but it had to be canceled.<br /><br />I will be around, visiting blogs, but I need a break. We all have those dry periods, don't we?<br /><br />Hugs to all.

I did manage to make one about half the size a while back.. I wish I could work longer hours with the needle felting, because I know there is room for improvement.<br /> <br />So you have been painting ~tiny~ things this week.. Can't wait to see. I look forward to to your next post.. <br />Enjoy your weekend Jeri,<br />With great admiration<br />fondly, PennyAngelsdoor * Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770992037653364805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997422903835675090.post-61660954969227457812013-02-22T18:49:10.163-08:002013-02-22T18:49:10.163-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997422903835675090.post-24592452324517023522013-02-18T20:19:29.831-08:002013-02-18T20:19:29.831-08:00Sharon, thank you for such an exquisite compliment...Sharon, thank you for such an exquisite compliment!jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997422903835675090.post-88739687765055792782013-02-18T18:47:55.422-08:002013-02-18T18:47:55.422-08:00I LOVE it!!

I so thank you for stopping by and making that comment relevant to Beatrix's entry into the "man's world" of science. Thank GOODNESS she never met with recognition or success in that field. You're right, she would have lost herself in science and never filled our lives with her watercolors.<br /><br />This posting is so wonderful.

The three French hens(of Christmastide fame) did<br />themselves proud glorifying Fionna and she should allow them their<br />brief moment in the celebrity spotlight, for she already securely holds the greater portion. The detail of her bonnet is exquisitely<br />rendered (how do you do it???how long did it take?)Such realtistic<br />fantasy.....Proud we are of you, our Jeri, for your great artistry<br />and gifted imagination.
