winston, clementine, and marigold



According to Colorscope, Winston Churchill is a Sagittarius and his main color is orange.  After a little research, I discovered that his wife was named Clementine and his daughter was named Marigold.  Churchill surrounded himself with his Colorscope colors.  Isn't that a neat connection?

notebooks

Two new notebooks.  

I love this gang of cats, especially the small one, so I wrote a caption for him. 
"Don't worry, little guy.  You're protected."


With this notebook, I covered it with terrific wrapping paper.  
On the first page, I wrote, 
"I gather my ideas like a jelly maker, simmering words into jam."

board book continued...


Here's the cover of my first board book.




I made it for The Racecar.  
We visit the Silver Lake Library on Monday mornings and
I thought he'd enjoy reading about things we do together.




At the library
We sit on the rug.
We look at books.
We dance!  We sing!
We learn how to count.
We listen to the librarian.
We shake our shakers goodbye.
