It is Tuesday and it is hot as hell. I am a positive shakey ball of energy in my pink skirt that looks like curtains complete with the puff balls along the bottom. Do you remember when your best friend in the 6th grade's family room was all done up in red and black with bull fighters on the wall? And their hats, the bull fighters' hats, were complete with round puffy balls dangling off the brims? Do you remember? Anyway, that is what this skirt reminds me of, except no bull fighters.

My legs are a blank canvas under this pink curtain skirt. And I am envisioning a life-like octopus all purple and tentacles on this canvas.

I have been thinking of new things to make and something came to me this morning, finally the cover to the little book I am printing came to me. It is magic when your mind gives you the answer to these things. I love that. I just want to go home right now and set up and take the photo.

I am still in secret mode, but I hope to be able to talk about my secret by the end of the week.

Here are some new photos of the girls:

Anya is a big big laugher:

Rachi is a big big reader:
