for my niece's birthday party:

I had slight twinges of guilt leaving my studio as I do NEED to get this book done but my niece only turns five once and, honestly, I couldn't take the bathroom renovation anymore. There is only so long I can stand stand the dust, loud noises, and looking at this:

The gold paint is not reproducing well in the photo, but I think the cover might be done. I'm not sure, I'm letting it sit and when I come back I'll decide if it's finished. If I'm lucky, when I get back the bathroom will decide it's finished as well.

Gorgeous art!
The old tug-of-war between work and family/fun. Sounds like a good reason to take a break, and those cupcakes look yummolicious.
Wow. I don't know which is more beautiful--the cupcakes or the cover!! Can't wait to see it in person...
The cover is gorgeous and the cupcakes look yummy!!
Is that a doll cupcake? My grandmother used to make us doll cakes! I never thought of a doll cupcake, I have to make one!!
Ditto what Alvina said.
Grace,
Love the cover art! It's gorgeous. Enjoy your time off with your family. Mike and I arrived in New Mexico today. The weather is beautiful and the resort where we're staying is absolutely fantastic. We're mxing a pleasure trip with a family wedding. What could be better?
