dancin' men & bunnies

Found items of the week: I found the dancin' men trinket while out on a walk about town. It measures 1" x 1-1/2" and is heavy for its size. It turned out to be lucky... the day that I found it turned out to be one of those days that everything goes right. A really great day!

Later in the week, I found this photo of bunnies adorned for Xmas at my local ATM machine. They must be someone's treasured pets, as the small photo is laminated & a bit worn. Too cute!

paint by numbers

after months of solid work, my third book of Pixel Paint by Number Logic Puzzles is nearing completion. All 100 of the puzzles and answers have been created & charted. The cover artwork and copy is complete, and I am nearly done assembling everything into the book layout. Then I simply need to await arrival of my proofing copy to make the final edits. yea! This was the hardest of the three books to complete & I am so happy to be in the home stretch.

I plan to take a few months off from puzzle creation, before I start my next book. I need a break and have the urge to do a (gasp!) paint by number. I started a kit last weekend & am finding it very relaxing. No thinking, no planning, no creating... just follow the numbers and paint. ahh! I'll post photos when I am further along with the painting. In the meantime, here is a cool paint by numbers site.
