Keeping myself contained for a while. A glass jar over your head really does do the trick. It doesn't allow me to veer off course, meaning, get my work done! I am so behind as I took time off work to create for the show that I can't afford any distractions. Although I'm finding I'm having an affinity for cheese. Must be the dome.
**I received some emails asking about this little lass- Yes, you have seen her before here. You guys have good memories!!**
Thought I would stop by and see what the Queen is up to?

Queen of the Lasses...is it Drew Barrymore? She's pretty! That was a cloche call...you being trapped and all...

What beauteous creation! It will keep you well contained, but surely not for long. Your energy flows where your attention goes, you know, and your imagination is tops!
Zwee!!!!!!!!!

Uh, huh I see how it is..too good for all of us..lol! Just Kidding..I Know the feeling..it'd be nice to have a secretary,maid, cook,etc to help out :) I'm so behind on my blogs too..but there are only 24 hrs in a day..
Your doll and bell jar are so pretty and pristine:)
p.s. your art show looked great!!

Soo know what you mean about the "catching up" business.
Oh goodness...and I am not the world's finest at keeping the focus on what I should be doing! For example...I ambled over here because I wanted to get a tissue...now I'm drooling over your beautiful work!! And I was in the middle of working on a new collar!!
Oh the "qheen of the lasses" is sooo gorgeous...as was all of the amazing treats you created for the show with the other ladies!!
Goodness...where do you find all the time! :)
Such a wonderful place to come by and get distracted though, I must say!

Did somebody say cheese???? Oh how I love cheese! ....and...a "little" wine to go with it! ;)
Your art is magical Donna!

Have a great week!
Hugs, Nancy

Kind of hard to keep at it with all these distractions around here.
Good Luck!
I have some catching up to do myself!
Have a beautiful weekend!

Hi Donna,
Keep your hand down, your pencil sharp and the numbers in balance!! Doesn't that husband of yours ever give you time off for "good behavior"?

You used my weakness in this beauty's dress - tartan. Love this, and remember All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Just ask Jack Nicholson.

Mmm I think I might need a zinc bucket, the glass container wouldn't do the trick for me, as I am easily distracted just by seeing something else again. And oops there she goes another afternoon of writing and reading blogs and giving comments and waiting for the good will store to arrive to pick up some things we don't need anymore. Hey I'm not sitting useless here, i'm waiting!
Have a great time while you create and don't let yourself get distracted this time. I love that dome!
Posted by: LiLi M. | September 18, 2008 at 06:24 AM
She's just lovely. Heather had posted photo's of the whole show...all of you gals...absolutely amazing!

I love your creations, I treasure several but this my dear takes my breath away!That little touch of tartan ribbon makes her Scottish to the core.
Being that we are tied together by ancient blood I think you should send me 'A Princess of the Lasses' asap!!!!
ps Cheese is good, full of calcium.Not too much though you don't want to grow whiskers!
