Visit to the Tenacre School

I had a lovely visit at the 10 Acre School this month. I started with a presentation and finished in the art room by making paper owl pencil holders with the students of the 4th and 6th grade. Here is one of the students with her creation. To see more Kids and their owls click here!

Pictured above is the art teacher, Ms. Owen who generously let me use her room and cut all the paper for the project.

Lula-belle and Minky

Caught in he act of getting along!
Lula-belle has a bad habit of "snouting" (pushing with her nose) Minky so she'll run. But for some reason, when they are out of the house they get along just fine. For more pets go to Ms. Moffatt's pet page.

The Quilt of Many Colors

This is the quilt my mom and I completed this summer. I'm now working on a matching quilt to go on the trundle bed across the room. It has every color you can think of, I am mesmerised by it every morning when the sun comes up.
As for the division of labor on it, I choose the colors and my mom does all the sewing. What a deal heh?

Highlights for Children Magazine hosts an illustrators Party

Mary Poppins Moffatt visited the Highlights for Children costume party in PA. She blew in complete with her handy carpet bag and sturdy umbrella.
The Nanny did find an interesting baseball player who she invited back to her homey cabin in the mountains. Turns out pitcher Hoffman is also an illustrator! When their busy jobs afford them the time, they happily make art in their studios in MA.

Scottish Highland Games

Two Bonnie lasses (my sister and myself) travel to Loon Mountain New Hampshire for the Scottish Highland games. Sister Sue and I are 50% Scottish. We have our own Clan complete with tartan and crest. Here we are sitting on the slopes where the herding dogs had their sheep gathering competition earlier in the day.
On the way up North we stopped at the Tilt'n Diner. The food was tasty, the decor was fun. Tilt'n is painted pink inside and out! Here we are 1/2 dressed for our clan gathering, sporting the cute paper hats from the diner.
