We have had such a wonderful crop of strawberries. I think they are my very favorite fruit to grow. Something about them being the first ones to ripen with those beautiful red berries nestled under green leaves. Anyway, I posted a couple of my recipes for strawberry muffins at the blog. I did them as two separate recipes because they are quite different from each other. Hope somebody can use them!!

I enjoyed myself so much; I hated to leave. I responded on your blog too. Thanks again for the special gift; you are much nicer than I am! ;-)
Chris I hope you got your plumbing problem solved without too much hassle or expense. I hate to tell you but Mary Beth and I got to eat the extra scones. But we shall meet again! I have contacted the MWC library and the young man was very nice. He said they do have rooms even in the evenings til nine. They do charge rent of $10.00 an hour. So that is an option if we want to get together for a project. We may be able to meet in a park, a church or at another restaurant. Just tossing out ideas. Also I would love to go to the History museum. We might even be able to meet at the Capitol! Or the Cupcake store! Yum! I get my best ideas at midnight. Zzzzzzzz snort! Must go to bed....nite....

Oh sorry Mary Beth. Plumbing comes first though. Chris I'm wearing a bright orange red sleeveless blouse (and jeans-clean jeans). I'm 55, plus size Farmgirl with black and grayish hair with glasses.

Sorry, Ladies, I won't be able to meet with you today after all - the drains started backing up when we were showering last night and need to get the rooter people out as soon as possible. Hopefully they can come out this morning. Just hope it is roots and not something else! Mary Beth, I'll get with you later or just order the pastry cloth through the mail. Hugs, Chris

I had actually looked at prices a while back when dh and I were thinking about where to take his mom for her birthday in Sept. His sisters want something else to celebrate her 80th birthday, which is fine with us. But we may still take her there anyway.

You know, I didn't even think to tell you all what the prices are at the tea room. You can go online to http://www.inspirationstearoom.com/forms/menuinspirations.pdf for the menu. Lunch usually runs around 13 - 16 dollars. I hope that's ok.

Yes if it is that popular. Probably for four, in case our Harrah girl makes it.

That will work. We can just stagger ourselves and hopefully get together again soon for a crafty event or a longer chat. I may have another Farmgirl lined up too from Harrah.

Hmm well that will only give me an hour or so before I would have to leave for my class. Maybe I can start the class later, I will check.

Yes, 11:15 would be great. Thanks! Oh, the size for the pastry cloth is 18x24. Off to the dark sky for a bit of stargazing. Will be back in touch sometime this weekend. Happy 4th! Hugs, Chris

Whew! What a day. Been all over the place from MWC to Yukon and then El Reno and back. Sat with a friend of mine who had to put her dear, 15 year old puppy to sleep today. Very sad.
And it's HOT!!!! The traffic was yucky and the heat was yuckier. But I'm back and rested and looking forward to the weekend.
My appointment is at 10 am and again at 10:45 so I could probably be at the tea room around 11:15am. I can call and make reservations if you would like. Chris, would you be able to make it on Thursday morning?

I have seen the ATC's. Even thought of trading some, but have never followed through. I love altered art. Have tried a little some, especially the altered books. I like dollmaking, but not the cutsey dolls, more of the primitive type as well as other primitive stuff - fake food, ornies, fabric postcards. I'd like to do a quilted pet portrait - use a blow up of a pet, outline the images to translate to fabric and make a wall hanging or such. I use quilting as an addition to fabric art, not necessary a whole quilt. Too much time to make one. I just don't want to take months to make something. I admire those that do, it's just not me. A pet portrait swap would be fun. I've been in miniature swaps on yahoo groups. I will got to the webshot site and look for your things. Love to look at things like that. Gives me inspiration!

I have done portraits, very challenging. But will start with still-lifes. Landscapes are harder for me; cause I havent taken a class. Pet Portraits are fun! I have joined www.wetcanvas.com, they had a pet portrait swap. These are little bitty pieces. Have you heard of Artists Trading Cards? ATCs or ACEO's? Can't remember what that one stands for... Artist cards originals. Anyway they are the size of a playing card or sometimes a postcard; so not a big time commitment. I haven't gotten all of mine sent out or uploaded. If you would like to see some you can go to www.webshots.com and search for Osagegypsy and look in my artwork album. Some are better than other; you have to allow yourself to make "bad" art or you won't ever make any art.

What style of painting are you doing? landscapes, portraits, objects? My hairdresser dabbles in painting. I can barely paint by number in the lines, but there are plenty of times I wished I could paint. I think I would paint my pets. They only way I could do it now would be if I actually painted the pet with craft paint! Don't think any of them would like it much. I have a gnome home started based on the book "Gnomes" by Wil Huygen. I love "The Secret Art of Dr. Suess" and JRR Tolkien's work (not the people who illustrated his books, but his actual art). Letter From Father Christmas is a favorite. Love Klimt and Edward Gorey. Randall Spangler is at the Paseo Art Festival every year and we try to buy one of his paintings then - cats or dragons!
