My Baby Is Buggy: July 2011

When My Baby Is Buggy was born...

Years ago, when I was perhaps eleven or twelve, my daddy drew me a little cartoon of a ladybug pushing a baby carriage, and the caption read: "My Baby is Buggy." I loved that sweet little scrap of paper and saved it for years, but alas, somewhere along the way that tiny piece of history disappeared. I imagine that my dad's 'Mrs. Ladybug' may have been the catalyst for one of my most fulfilling occupations: Illustrator and maker of tiny things.

That's What Tiny Scissors Are For!

I Have Found Decoupage, and I Love It!! Tell me, who isn't transported to their youth when cutting out pictures and slathering glue on something? I read about this Mod Podge (sort of a watered down glue), and I immediately picked up a container at my local Michael's. Then it was snip, snip, snip, until I had a little pile of pretty flowers waiting to be plastered on something... Then, a few days later I was at Starbucks with a friend. She was enjoying a little cardboard tray of apples, cheese and nuts. I was eyeing that tray, coveting it actually; I thought it would be the perfect base for my flowers that needed to be decoupaged onto something! She offered a piece of apple; I took the tray instead.
