Clay owl

I finally got around to finishing this little owl. It is a real treat to have it done! If you remember this post, all the way back in August, that I showed you its relatives so to speak, as they were made all on the same day. Well, this is one of those 'other things I have not finished yet' that I mentioned, but now it is!
It is really tiny.

I gave it to my brother Michael, and really I had him in mind when I made it.
He took one look at it and said "Is that mine?"...

I guess somehow he knew.

I like how it looks somehow inquisitive.

Happy Sunday!!

XOXO, Callie

My New Polariod Camera!!!!

I got a Polaroid camera!!!

I had recently gotten some gift cards and because I have yearned for this little camera for some time decided it was time.

The first packet of film was gone within the first hour of getting it, so heady my happiness was over it. It's little bubbly cuteness makes me smile. I am already planning a little crocheted cover for it...

(The first picture above is my sweet kitty Sheila's whiskers, the next is when I forgot to change the setting from indoors to outdoors while taking a photo of some sunflowers, and the last is me and Sheila!)

This is a Fuji Instax Mini Camera 7s. It's pictures are smaller than the older Polaroid we used to have, but that just makes it all the more cute! :)
(The first one below is my sister Jessica of Jessica Leigh La Lou, the next is Kaitlyn of My Baloney, and the third is my mom of Maria's Secret Garden.)
We had just gotten back from Garner State Park and were all looking a little tired, so probably not the best time to take portraits of everyone in my family but I couldn't help it!

The best thing about this camera is that it is instant joy, with just the click of the button, and viola! A new photo!

( The first one below is Sheila, my brother Michael, and Schatzi. I actually took two pictures of Sheila but the first one she moved and all I got were her whiskers, which seem rather ghostly.)

Here they all are lined up in all their Polaroid wonder :)

Here's a little song to brighten your day!

XOXO, Callie

Muppet Madness

I have to admit to loving the Muppet's. Yesterday my brother Michael and I watched Muppet's From Space and really enjoyed it. I love spending quality time with my wonderful brother. We were laughing and joking the whole time. It was so fun! That movie is one of my favorites because it showcases Gonzo (one of my favorite characters) and who his real family is. If you haven't watched the Muppet's before I would definitely recommend you do so!

My brother showed me this movie above and I couldn't stop smiling. Enjoy!
