"Rubes"

Miss Ruby Marie

I thought I would start the week off right with a photo of this sweet little button, Ruby Marie. She is the daughter of our wonderful friends, Shennon and Greg...and is the cutest thing that ever came down the pike! We all had breakfast together yesterday...and as always, Ruby provided much needed comic relief at the table. She's at the grabby, throw, yank stage now and she keeps us all on her toes. Look out world...because Ruby is about to start walking too! What a bright light in the world she is.

And on a different note...oh joy...I get to have some dental surgery today. Icky poo kaka. It's not supposed to be too bad though although I won't be able to eat much for a few days. I guess I will just have to resort to some Ben & Jerry's if I must.

I have lots of work going this week...a new still life and a new dog commission to finish and a greeting card order for a new pet boutique in Maine. I may be standing there with gauze in my mouth...but a paintbrush will be in my hands!

Thanks for all of your good advice about Etsy too...it was much appreciated. Have a good Monday everyone. xox
