Merry Christmas

Florida again

Barney and I have been in Florida this past week. It was 77 degrees at 8am when I left there Wed. morning. I came back to Missouri to snow!!! For those of you who aren't aware......we will be spending Jan- Mar. there. (Oh,... poor me! *lol*)

Tah DAH!!!!

Here is Jon Luc.

UPDATE!!!!

Just to update you on Jon Luc's condition.
He is feeling much better. It has been a long and hard recooperation, though. The doctors say he will never walk by himself again...but, his hand has mended quite nicely, and he is completely without pain.
He is able to stand with help, but his legs are still a little wobbly. He is a determined little guy, though...his main concern has been to get back to work for the children who depend and beleive in him.
Sunday, we went to DJ's to visit Pierre Noel. They had a great time...and even got hair that day. That made Jon Luc feel soooo much better.
Pierre Noel gave us quite a start, when the kitten, aka Lydahlkit, pounced on him, knocking him over. He was fine, but he and Jon Luc wanted to stand on tables after that!
Jon Luc doesn't want any pictures of himself until he is completely mended. I respect that wish, and will publish one when the time comes. I think he will be well next week.
Thanks for all the cards and letters.
Picture to come later.

CSI: St. Joe

DJ and I went to dinner last night and left Jon Luc at home by himself. When we got back, we discovered poor JL on the kitchen floor. As far as we can tell, someone must have broken in while we were out and attacked him. He suffered a severe blow to his head and hasn't been able to speak, so we aren't really sure what happened. DJ thinks he may has tried to commit suicide when he saw the clothes he was going to have to wear...forever!...but I disagree. He seemed happy and content just before we left, and even posed for a few pics in his new beaded top. Now, does that sound like someone who doen't love life???

In addition to the concussion, the EMT told us he also received two broken legs and a fractured hand.

There ws one clue.....his left shoes was broken...almost as if his attacker was jealous of his clothing. His shirt was also pulled up in front, and his boa was almost torn from his body. This seems more like a "hate crime" to me. If any of you have information about this incident, please call the SJCC police immediately.

It seemes impossible, that in this day and age, there are still clay haters out there.

Please, people...don't let this happen to your sculpies. Help us catch the doer of this evil deed.

This is a picture of the crime scene.

Warning!! This may be too graphic for young children.

Santa in his undies

It's starting to look more like Santa now. This afternoon I began making his "outfit". I'm using an unusual color combination for a Santa....moss green...pink...and electric blue. I hope I didn't choose fabric that is too feminine....it has bling on it....and I am also putting some beaded fringe on the bottom of his shirt. *lol* He may end up looking like Joan Luc.

now I'm in Florida

I joined Barney for the weekend down in Florida. We were driving around, and came across this neat hotel. It has a beautiful golf course....and...well...the whole thing was just gorgeous!!! It is The Breakers

Oh...we were also fortunate to be in the "right place at the right time" to see the shuttle Explorer launch. Very awesome!!!

Santa Again

.........................................Now we are doing shoes and body. Next week we will begin to assemble him. I stayed up until 3 am Tuesday night because I will be out of town until next Tuesday afternoon, and won't be able to work on him. Our instructor told us to have all the pieces ready to go. *yawn*
