TAXI!!

Well here is how my Friday went. I got to Taxi around in an F16. I guess it is one of the perks of hubby being in the Air Force. I tell you it is an awesome thing. We went thru Egress Training first, which is learning how to strap yourself in the plane and then how to get out quickly should there be an emergency and you have to evacuate the plane. Without a ladder mind you. It is one heck of a drop, but we got to practice in the simulators they have for training the pilots. Thank goodness I didn't need to use what I learned. We taxi'd to the runway and pretended to take off. Still went pretty fast though, about 100 to 120 MPH I am told. It was very cool and I had a really nice pilot. The pics are of me in the plane right before they closed the canopy, and me and hubby before I climbed in.

Dolly's and other stuff

Well here are a couple of photos of some dolls I am developing. They are a lot of fun to make and can be very inspiring. Of course like most of my art I have a theme in mind but the dolls have a different path they want to travel. I am working on a series of these dolls and am seeing if they may be good workshop material. The red/yellow doll isn't complete yet, but she still is looking good. I usually have them holding something in their hands that flows down the back but haven't found the right stuff yet. Leave me a comment on what you think of them. They are about 14" tall and stand on their own.

I sent my registration in for Art Unraveled on Friday. Seeing as it is only going across town I am sure it is there already. Once I know if I get my class choices I will share them with you. Until then I don't want to jinx it. Linda out did herself this year picking workshops for us to take. There are some outstanding ones that made it difficult to choose. This will be my first year living here in the Phoenix area so I am excited to right in the middle of it. It will be my fifth year attending, I have only missed the very first year as I didn't even know about it then. If you want to check it out and maybe attend yourself go to the website and see all the wonderful classes they are offering. www.artunraveled.com

Oh My Goodness!

Well I am so sorry I haven't posted in awhile, but I somehow "caught" pnumonia. I can't even spell it and I still got it. I don't think I have ever been so sick in my entire life! I have been in bed for almost 2 weeks. Needless to say I haven't created a thing lately.

I am attempting to go back to work tomorrow. We'll see how it goes, I can't be up for very long and I start to cough really bad and get shaky. But we can't make ends meet with me on my butt in bed. Too bad you don't get paid for being sick. I would have made lots of money.

Okay so the only pic I have to show you it one Erik took of himself. He got a hold of my camera had a field day.

Happy 5th Birthday Erik!!

Today my little guy is 5 years old. He is very excited about turning 5 because he thinks he gets to go to school on Monday. We told him he had to be 5 to go to Kindergarten. So he figures he is five he can go to school. I think I am going to get it on video and play it to him 10 years from now when he won't get out of bed to go to school. Anyway, I just want to say how much I love him and I am very proud of him even though he is only five.
