Uh-Oh!

Sep17

It’s fun creating a picture with action and letting the viewer use their imagination to decide what’s happening!

The baby and the griffin are playing chase and he reached his safe place. The griffin thinks one of her babies got away. The baby is having a nightmare. Stranger danger. The list goes on. What comes to mind when you see the picture?

We had another 2″ of rain. We’d had a prediction of NO rain for the next 10 days, so it was greatly welcome!

Managed to get my 2,000 words yesterday on Wolf on the Prowl. At 21K, still a long ways to go, but getting there. And finished the MacLeod Bear.

Hope you have a beautiful day!

Pumpkin Time!

Sep15

At least the grocery store is full of them. But if we put them out now? They would turn to mush.

It was the coolest day we’ve had in months, maybe only reaching 85 yesterday and we received 3 1/4″ of rain. Woohoo! We sooooo needed that. Today, we were supposed to get rain all morning. I was hoping for it! No such luck now. But at least the high is only going to be 86.

I took the dogs in for a trim and a wash yesterday. I do it about once every two-three months, comb them out daily and wash them in between groomings. But the guy took off nearly all their fur! I told him to leave their coats long. Okay, just trim their feet and faces, belly, behind. They haven’t had short fur like that since they were puppies and hadn’t grown it out yet. *sigh* But the good news is that they’re soft, fluffy, like a couple of little lambs and their fur will grow out for winter. Hopefully.

I am nearly 1/4 of the way done on Wolf on the Prowl. I’ll have the word count today. And I’m still working on Bear of a Halloween. 🙂 So all great news!

I had my flu shot. They always ask if I want the powerful one. Of course. Maybe, it will help. Other than a sore arm, I didn’t have the chills and fever like I did last year.

Hope your day is going great! I’m off to get busy with mine.

A Time of Change

Sep13

I always find dress for a particular era fascinating, though it seems we aren’t defined by style these days as much as we have been in the past.

We went on water restriction yesterday. I’m trying to figure out my water timer thingy.

I didn’t quite make it on word count yesterday, so today is my make up day. Though I have baby so I’ll have to do it while he takes his nap. I was working on a bear order and attached his head and ears yesterday. Need to embroider his mouth and nose and make his sash and bonnet and embroider his paws next.

But right now, I’m trying to figure out the watering thing. Still wishing we’d have some rain!!!

Have a super day!!!

Shelf Mushrooms

Sep11

I took this photo a while back. I love mushrooms. I guess they remind me of a fairy land.

Beautiful morning! Felt like 71 and it was cold to me. Which was great! I opened all the windows to blow the cool air inside which was cooler than inside the house. It’s still going to be 97 today without the index factor, so still hot.

I took my grandson for a stroller walk, weeded some out front while he was in his stroller talking away to me, came in and became extremely nauseated. I rarely ever throw up, so that wasn’t fun. I sent baby home. I haven’t eaten anything since dinner at 6 with the kids yesterday and no one else is sick, so not sure what is going on.

I’m off to rest and hopefully feel better.

Have a great day!

Fairy and Her Feline Friends

Aug26

Having fun with some whimsical art.

Okay, I was out working this morning on cutting back some volunteer hollies, and it isn’t too bad out, but it’s going to get bad again, of course. So what’s new? I wanted to stay out all morning and wor, but I really need to keep working on the bear story. I had printed out Bear of a Halloween and was making edits to it. As I write, I get new ideas and need to incorporate those with earlier parts of the story, so that’s what I’m doing now.

I’m off to work on the book. It’s up to 49K, hope to make it 51K or more today.

Have a super duper fun day!

Loving the White Bear

Aug23

I finally finished the print cover for Loving the White Bear and uploaded it to Amazon. This is the ebook cover. The ebook is already available all over. I did update the buy list in the book. I had to revamp the buy list so as I’m redoing a few covers, I’m also proofing the mss one more time, then reuploading.

I’ve been having internet connection issues, and had so much running around to do yesterday, that I managed to only get 1,000 words on Bear of a Halloween. But I was also editing His Wild Highland Lass and finished both the print book covers for it and for Claiming the White Bear.

I’m off and running to get ready for little one this morning!

Hope your day is stellar, and all I can say is with this heat dome staying over us, this cool, wintry picture makes me feel better.

More Like a Centaur

Aug22

I had created this in DAZ3D and then added a tail and hair because a lot of times, the hair and tails on DAZ3D don’t look that great in rendering. At least on my computer!

I’m off to a a couple of appointments. Have to take Tanner in for blood work for a teeth cleaning next week and probably the poor dog will have to have another tooth pulled. I’ve never had a dog that has such bad teeth. His half brother is fine.

Pulled another tomato plant out and two more sky pencil boxwood out of the ground. The ground I pulled them from is dry as the desert. This unrelenting heat and no rain is unreal. If I hadn’t been watering the rest, I wouldn’t have any living plants at all. Well, the weeds would survive, I’m sure.

I managed to revise all of His Wild Highland Lass last night and get a 1,000 words on Bear of a Halloween. I had my grandson yesterday, so that meant grocery shopping and taking him for a walk to the mailbox, trying to get it done before it was too hot. But it was already hot when he was dropped off early. So I was glad to still get a lot done on my writing!

So today, I need to get 2,000 on Bear of a Halloween, and start proofing His Wild Highland Lass.

Off to get ready to go. Have a swimmingly great day!

The Magic of Fairies

Aug8

Just when the winter blues are getting to you, or the summer heat is taking its toll, the flower fairies come to renew the flower gardens with their magic.
Large fairy from GT and T Designs.
Large flower background–Daily Texture.
Foreground flowers, butterflies, cat wings, sparkles from my stash.
MJ cat.
Louise Nash small fairy from 3D source. And toning, color changing, lights and highlights added and other textures added.

Some of my daylilies, that have been too hot to flower, have begun to flower! Despite the continuing hot, hot, hot humid days.

I didn’t get anything done on stories yesterday, but I did get to go with the kids and grandkids to see my granddaughter’s new teacher. I have lunch with my granddaughter once a week once that starts up, so I wanted to find out when it was and when they start. And I’ll be driving to pick her up until it cools down a bit so I can walk to get her.

One more day that I have her all day, and then tomorrow our new regimen begins. Which means I have to remember to go pick her up! When she’s in school, I can write when I don’t have her little brother, but then it means I might be in the middle of a scene, really into it and look at the time, horrors, got to run. lol

Have a great day!!! We’re going to do our last swim day and then we’re having our last ice cream treat.

Soooo Looking Forward to Cooler Weather

Aug6

Created this with a ton of elements and textures. I want cooler weather.

Still working on the cover for Dreaming of the Highland Wolf. I think I’ve got it done now. I have tons of book covers I’ve purchased from artists over the years that I haven’t had time to use for stories, of course. But they never fit the story I’m writing. For this one, I had to have more of a modern Highland story couple wearing kilts, hers a mini-kilt–and I wanted to have an Irish Wolfhound, Scottish Deerhound, and a wolf, essential to the story.

I’m still working on Bear of a Halloween. I added 3,000 words yesterday, yay!!

I keep meaning to get out and work on the weeds, but I was just trying to pick tomatoes and was getting bitten by fire ants and mosquitoes. We’re still at 112 heat index daily with no relief in sight. At 7:30, it feels like 97 degrees.

Have a super wonderful day and I hope yours is cooler than ours!

One with Birds

Aug2

Another picture created with kit elements, no AI.

Another scorcher of a day. They say in 10 days we might get rain, but I don’t have any hope for it.

I did manage to get one scene written yesterday, yay!!! Still need to wrap up the story.

Granddaughter’s coming, got to run.

Have a great day!
