july 9, HUDSON! for Lianna~

This is Hudson, dressed for the Christmas Holidays, and he has that expression that most dogs wear when they are humoring you and your penchant for cute bows and ribbons and antlers and bunny ears and such-like....  That black-blue shine was SO fun to paint, as were those HUGE brown eyes~

We are up in Grand Marais- not a great day today, as it rained for most of it and we had to keep shuffling items around and half closing the front flaps... sold a bunch of cards and gave a ton of postcards and brochures away, had a number of people we knew show up and a lovely collection of new fans~  so hopefully tomorrow the weather will be more conducive to commerce....

Oh and it is my mom's birthday today, so Dad and Duane and Max snuck in with a cake and Dad and Duane enticed mom out of the tent for a minute so Max and I could jam candles in the cake and attempt to light the candles-  I mean, I lit them and Max attempted to blow them out~  then I asked anyone walking past to come in the tent and sing Happy Birthday when Mom came back and she did and they all did and she blew out the candles and everyone got cake!

and now, to bed,.....
