Last minute for Chicago

Last minute work for The Chicago International. These are terrible phone pics. I'm thoroughly exhausted, and overwhelmed with everything.....and then there is the show... hahaha! Anyhow didn't bother to use my good camera. This cat is about to jump up. In the scene, there is a fat gray and white male cat up on a crate. This female cat is looking up at him, saying " hey, the baby is yours"!  :) and there sits the little kitten. The mouse is just because.

1:12 scale hand carved, hand painted wood. Then furred. 

The screaming tree

So creepy! Every time I go into town, I pass the screaming tree. I kept meaning to stop and take a picture. So finally I did. This is a very hectic time for me,getting ready for Chicago, so I am not posting work. So in keeping with my scenery posts, without further ado, I present to you "The Creepy Screaming Tree"!

Seriously?

Spring peepers, baseball and......snow...... Here we go again :(

Sure wish this was an April fools joke... 

but it isn't. 

Seems I'm wishing a whole lot of things are just April fools jokes.....

but they're not....
