A puffed up penguin Poses Pompously for a painted portrait

These were painted as a trio meant to framed together for like a child's room. I think they are really cute. The colors are more vibrant in person especially the blue. I might give it away for christmas if some really really likes it.

cooking with iron

If you dont cook with cast iron you should so try it. I only have a small skillet. I had trouble finding a full sized one(let me know if you see one). I find cooking eggs in them is the best!!! I can now make a perfect french omelette every time. I learned the technique is to pull some cooked egg away from the sides as you cook and when the egg is almost done add the filling and fold over. Slide the omelette out of the pan onto the plate. Thank you food network. I have only been using it occasionally but it is already really good at not sticking. They come pre-seasoned but its never quite the same as really cooking with them and they get better with age and last forever. The other way cool thing is they actually impart iron in the food and therefore your diet. If you didn't know that Caryn that was for you. Great for all us girls who need to make sure they have their iron. Go cast iron cooking.

Rachel

It is really cut though this video is no the best. Rachel is now sticking out her tongue when she is happy. She is immitating us when we make noises to make her happy and laugh. She tries to make the sound but mostly makes spit bubbles.

sun conure watercolor

I think that the sun conure is so cute. I painted this long painting of 12 doing various things. I think my favorites are the third from the left and the one cleaning his wing. the closer shots are detail of those two.

nativity

A woman in my ward is making nativity advent calendars shew wants to sell the problem was she couldn't because the simple figure were from someone else so she asked if I would design some for her. I haven't heard yet if this will work for her. I know there are 4 wise men. Joseph is the one with the shepherds crook.
