Mother Nature SPARKS! Creative Flood ***




(Photo courtesy of Ziggy Crane, Owen Sound Ont. Canada)

Family will not allow wallowing in the winter blues.  You all are familiar with my multi talented 
Spectacles Crane ( woodworker/ sculptor) , many creative posts have displayed his amazing
Art.  The most recent project, during the northern deep freeze is this clay figure, casket and 
perfectly stitched caped skeleton!  I have requested a similar cape !!


Mr. S. Crane has a younger sister, Ziggy Crane.  Creativity is timidly booming as bake goods couture! 
Delicate and detailed , comforting and traditional are her seasonal specialties!

Creative Yummiest!  100th Birthday Celebration.  Pearls and delightful Rose bud's


Banana Bread Scones with brown sugar glaze!  Gorgeous morning energy boost!


Variegated dark chocolate candy cups!  Perfect Guest Treats!


Quietly,  Ziggy plots her next tempting offerings , in a country cabin, covered in snow!  Thank you
For sharing and be sure!  Inspiration has been received!


Honouring gifts I have been very fortunate to receive,  is a creative exercise I seek out and enjoy.
Ana ( Azul Violete Doll Dreams friend and brilliant artist), surprised me recently with this dazzling 
canvas!


I want this part of my everyday, so I enlisted the endless talents of Mr. Crane ( as always) to
Make my vision a reality!  I wanted a book to hold my thank you note cards, tags, bookmarks ect.
Seconds later......,...voila!  Now this stunning image will not ONLY grace my creative corner, it will
Open to a cupboard of personal paper, tags and bookmarks! 



I am making fabric shelves for my many gelli painted papers!  and thank you cards. 

Not to allow Nana Puddleduck to be blue for long, my young puddleducks are always conjuring 
escapades of mischief !  I do believe my middle Puddleduck is heading for an acting career!

" How to train Your Dragon"  


Shake off those dull drums,  another Puddleduck weekend ahead! ( weather permitting ).
My creative tasks, are being checked off!  

The Artful Reading Club for 2014 review is due this Friday.  I have posted my first review for this year 
In Puddleduck Grange Studio.  Please click the tab at the top of this page.  

Thank you ALL!  for visiting me!

Bee Safe!    Bee Kind!  and Shake Off those Frosty Blues!!  xoxoxoxo

  4. I am in LOVE with your caped skeleton and with the idea of telling the winter blues that they can't stay! Blow some hot smiles into its frigid face, that's what I say. Then share something hot and sweet with friends who love you!
