Last night, as a reminder, I wrote on a post it note two things. Cupcakes and mice. I know, not your typical "to do" list. Being so famous and all one would expect notes to remind me to "have my people call Oprah's people" or "cancel Thursday's appointment with Brad". But no, I had a very short list.
Why the cupcake thing came floating through my mind I haven't a clue. Maybe because it's my birthday month. Maybe I have been hanging out in the French patisseries in my mind just one cupcake too long. Maybe because I am happy and feel like I am on an extended holiday even when working. Whatever the case--be careful what you ask for. I took a ride today, ended up in a place I never frequent, parked beside a place called "European Delights" that had only opened two days ago and guess what they had to sell??? No, not mice (that's another story) Creamy iced cupcakes with shaved white chocolate and a strawberry on top. I don't know what you would have done but I took it as a sign. How often in life can you have your cupcake, paint and eat it too? And then write it off as a business expense. I love my job.
Now, I wouldn't want to leave you dangling on the mouse thing. Again, life keeps serving me up these things so what's a girl to do? As I had warned mentioned to you last week that I will be doing some new paintings of Eddie--guess what comes in the mail?? A request from sculptor Steve Worthington to take part in a book project he is doing. It involves placing a sculpture of his in one of my set ups and painting it. The book is going to be sold with donations going to animal shelters. I had my choice to choose between Chubby, Sprightly, and Nosey. They are, of course, all mice figures. My note today was to remind me to go "mouse shopping" to select which piece I wanted Steve to mail me so I could pose him with Eddie. After consulting with Ed, the mouse of choice is now making his way to Kentucky.
Well, that's all for now. I hope you had a wonderful week-end. I'm off now to make my list for tomorrow...
P.S. I do want to share my new discovery to those of you local to the central KY area. "European Delights" is a family owned operation (when I was in, it was all sisters and they are so nice!!) And I did buy more than just one cupcake.....
P.S.S. I just ate the still life. It was an OMG moment.
