You can't get spoiled...


...if you do your own ironing.
Meryl Streep

Oh JOY!! Today I have been working on starting finishing some commissioned projects that clients and friends have ordered as Christmas presents. Luckily, I've been given virtually carte blanche to do as I please although we settled on the inspirational quotes together first. While gleefully fuffling through my bits and pieces of old papers and stamps etc etc etc, I came across this much loved image.

I adore this photo from the 2006 Amcal calendar (which I bought incidentally for its cover!). From the time I first laid eyes on her we have never been able to part, even though 2006, and my last holiday "home," is long behind me. To me she encapsulates the meaning of life! Not because I am the housework queen in particular, I assure you!

No, it's her overall Joyful, thumb nosing, 'thrrrbbbbb' raspberry blowing, attitude in the face of drudgery!

Before Enlightenment: fetching wood, chopping water. After Enlightenment: fetching wood, chopping water ;-)

She has graced my work with her enthusiasm several times, notably in this one which I sold the other day much to Beaker's dismay. It was one of my first, and his favourite ( he's a mercenary at heart so is not really devastated that I let her go... if you catch my drift ;-).


If you look closely you'll find her in the letter A
(for Aimer which means LOVE in French):



Messmonsters back at school, the Christmas season is upon us and
I'm filled with a joy that I can't contain...
...even if I do still have to do my own housework!

Qui a dit quoi?



Il est une heure du matin et je viens de subir un SHOCK.  C'est un cauchemar bien que je ne dors pas encore. Enfin, il me semble que je suis réveillée.

Voilà. En tout cas, je faisais mon bonhomme de chemin tranquillement sur la toile quand j'ai trouvé un article très déconcertant sur le blog de GOOD. L'article s'intitulait, "Si Mark Twain L'a Dit .... Ce N'était Surement Pas Lui".  Euh, je vous demande pardon????

SHOCKING! HORRIBLE! SCANDALE!
Le morale a chuté pendant presque 5 secondes (un record pour moi!)

' Si c'est le cas, que vais je mettre sur mes planches? '
Je me voyais déjà peindre les idées suivantes :

"Aime et Fais ce que tu Voudras" ... St Augustin (du moins, je pense)
"J'ai un rêve" ... Martin Luther King  (enfin, ça se pourrait)
"La Chance Sourit Aux Audacieux" ... Virgile (mais comment voulez-vous que je le prouve?)
"Ils ne Savaient Pas Que C'était Impossible Alors Ils l'Ont Fait" ... MARK TWAIN (il paraîtrait en tout cas, sauf que, peut-être que c'était un de ses meilleurs amis que personne ne connaissait donc on l'a attribué à M. l'écrivain, renommé pour son esprit)

Tout ça sur une planche? ça va faire désordre...

Je reste perplexe... Je vais me coucher. La nuit porte conseil (quelqu'un d'autre apart Etienne Daho a dit ça ;-)

ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
