I hope you've noticed that I'm going to be doing a booksigning in LA this Sunday! Because of Rain Dragon, I don't get to the west coast often and I don't think I'll be getting out there again soon (so please come to the signing!). In fact, the only reason why I am going this time is because my oldest friend in the world (meaning the person I've been friends with for the longest time, not her age!) is getting married! Yes, Alvina, aka Melody from Year of the Dog, is getting married! So, of course, for such an event I had to go! And because it's such a special event, I'm also making a personalized wedding cake topper for her:
This is really the first creative work I've done since Rain Dragon has arrived. She wants to be held all the time, so it's been a little challenging. However, I've been making it work:
Maybe it will make the artwork even better! We'll see!

This sweet cherry hat was sent by my friends at the Elephant Trunk's Bookshop (Isn't that a great name for a bookstore?). I particularly love it as I have an affection for cherries (which is also why I adored the cherry swatch in the 100 Wishes quilt that my friend Barbara O'Connor contributed). The hat is on my desk after Rain Dragon shrugged it off during a bout of restless sleep. But she was so cute while it lasted:
Thanks, Elephant Trunk's Bookshop![image error]
