This morning Oliver was ready for another fun filled day of Harvest Celebration. He wore his Leo the Lion suit from his Uncle Matthew, the lightsabre was not part of his original costume but he felt it gave him a more fiercesome appearance!
Oliver was full of trickery last night before bed...
He had fun getting dressed up for the Harvest Celebration. He picked his own pumpkin from the Pumpkin Patch, although I think his plastic hotdog was his preferred snack of the day!
Oliver had a bit of break through week at school, he didn't really cry when he was dropped off or when he was picked up...
He played with Zach and took turns in the car...
I started practicing push-hands and Tai Chi again on Saturday mornings. Here's a good shot of Tony and I in action. It's been a trying week at work and I am looking forward to Saturdays class to help dissolve my stress...
This is one of my latest designs for Disney Couture, I am particularly pleased with the soft look and the watercolor feel...
Oliver braved the elements this morning with his brand new Fall gear...
And I am proud to present on the blog for the first time ever Olivers offical first work of art!!!
Oliver went back to school this week, he's feeling much better now. His good buddy Zack was happy to see him back on form.
He played on the slide, I'm not sure what new trend he's following with his tongue out and his shirt rolled up?!
He made himself pizza for lunch...
And the best part of the day was when he got to play with the recycling bag. Poor Freddy didn't stand a chance with Oliver guarding his swag like a jealous pirate with his treasure..."No Freddy these are mine, mine & Zack's!"
Phew! Another week rolls by...Here's one of my latest Muppet's designs. A Muppet party on the outside and an animal on the inside!
Oliver was a school for only two days this week as he is still fight a chesty cough. But that didn't stop him enjoying a pajama party and some finger painting (even with a very runny nose)...
He watched and waited with great anticipation and what looks like a little gloom for his turn on the swings...
God...Finally!!!
I started a new project on Monday The Muppets, I put together this nice board with fashion direct and inspiration. But alas I was told it was too forward for the market/buyers never-the-less I still have a few of my original concepts to show off.
The sketch in the background is Jim Henson's original sketch of "Animal".
I based this design on "Floyd Peppers" outfit which draws inspiration from the Beatles Sgt. Peppers outfits, Animal is bursting out of the two ends of the duffel.
Don't forget to cover your mouth when you cough on the L train home...
Byron and Lissette arrive tomorrow from SF for Lissette's Birthday weekend.
Better late than never...
As the saying goes in fashion "One day your in and one day your OUT!"
A sign of the times, my mum tells us that it's only the second time they have harvested the grapes since they planted them 20 years ago as it has not been hot enough. Global warming reaches Cotes Du Barton!
This piece is was originally hung in Madame Tussuad's since then the paint has slowing slipped away and it has taken on a new look. "Green Planet" 2009 mix media
One of my favorite pieces, "Untitled" rocks and pebbles with branches...
A sunny view of life at home in Barton on Sea, we miss you ALL everyday!
Poor Oliver has had rough time at school this week with his upset tummy. He had to spend the rest of his afternoon yesterday with no pants as he had an unpleasant accident (the number 2 kind).
Still, that didn't stop him "gettin' down" and playing some cool tunes...
Zoe didn't mind his "wrong trousers"!
Poor Ellis was quite upset that he couldn't sit next to Oliver...
Down the rabbit hole! (this shot was taken pre-poo poo)
Not such a bad day, may be it was all a dream...
