Seventh Frog

This frog will eventually be a height chart for Z.  For now the frog itself is finished.

Fifth Frog

Fourth Frog

I finished painting this frog for Zidane's nursery mural the weekend of Valentine's Day but I just uploaded the pics off the camera tonight (and back then I was in one of my dry spells of blogger posting).  So here's the progress shots:

 

 

Jungle Babies Nursery Mural

I don't think I ever got around to posting pictures of the Jungle nursery mural I did for Ella's room.  I'm still working on Z's frog mural and I've got an aquarium themed mural for Jon and Marcy's little one.  The album that is this slide show has all the progress shots in backwards order.  One of these days I'll get the originals back on my computer and upload individual final shots to post.  For now:

What is it with this cat and public bathing?

Seriously.  One of the cats I live with has an unrelenting tendency to hide out all day long until the rest of the household comes home; then he sits in plain view and bathes.  It's repulsive.  He knows I hate it and yet he does it every single day.

I just have to say that while I can't guarantee that I'll never live with a cat after living here, I can say with 100% certainty that I will never own my own cat.  Aside from my slight allergy, I just don't love them enough.  Actually, they kind of annoy me.

And that's how I feel about cats.  The end.

Third Frog

Three I finished this evening...Z was as much of a doll a 9 1/2 month immobile boy could be but I got a lot done this afternoon and once Aaron got home I soared through this guy (hence the lesser number of pics).  Without further ado, the third frog:

Second Frog

Start to Finish, Number 2...finished today, this afternoonish:
