Squirrels and Snowflakes.

A package arrived today from Ryan Full and family. I found this little message on the side of the box. (Thank you Ryan Full and family!!)

After work I made sugar cookies to take to work tomorrow. Squirrel and snowflakes!

I used this sugar cookie recipe that I posted on my blog a few years ago.

I also made royal icing to decorate the cookies. This recipe came from the Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar book.

Decorated!

Stacks of squirrels and snowflakes!

So cute!

Snowflake or starfish? You decide.

Squirrels and butts. Squirrel butts?

I enjoy the show “2 Broke Girls.”  Kat Dennings’ adorable face is in it so that is always a plus, but I do find it to be an entertaining show.  My favorite quote of the day was from the latest episode…

Han: Max, why did you kick out the hipsters?

Max: Because I cannot be in the background of another Instagram photo!

True story!  You can’t make your boring life interesting with a filter.

Here's my new squirrel print that will be going on some women's v-neck shirts.

I have also purchased some black underwear that I was going to print something squirrel related on. I need a butt model. There isn't a less creepy way to ask so there it is. I wanted to possibly post some of these on my Etsy account. I don't want my butt on my Etsy account. If you accept this butt model position you can have your very own pair of squirrely underwears! I guess men with a feminine rump can be butt models as well. Juniper doesn't approve of this idea. Skeptical kitten.

A Saturday well spent.

I’m laying on the couch now writing to you with a sleepy kitten by my side.  Juniper has been very cuddly with me lately.  I feel like a mama cat!  She likes to sleep on my chest and by my head.  She’s spoiled at night too.  She sleeps under the blankets with us the whole night.  She stands up when Eric gets out of bed, but will crawl back under the sheets with me until I finally wake up.  What a wonderful kitten!  Although this morning she did wake me up by slapping me in the eye.  I think she just wanted to crawl back under the sheets and I didn’t know she was there.  A swift paw to the eye made it clear that she was beside me though!

 

Kitten!

 

After waking up abruptly today I went to the print shop.  Yes I went to work on a Saturday…BUT it was to work on some of my own art for once!  I’m going to be working on a few squirrel images.  It’s possible I’ll be selling these in my Etsy shop.  What do you think?  Do you want a squirrel shirt?!

 

This is the print I worked on today. I threw the shirt in my bag today so I apologize for the wrinkles.

 

What is that little squirrel looking at?

 

Would you like to take this guy home?

Squirrel paper!

I thank Etsy for this.

 

Scamper up into that tree. There you are, peeping at me! Button bright eyes make you look wise. Winking and blinking at me.

 

Home.

 

"Chat, chat!" says the squirrel, "God gives me soft fur."
