Elle (and Katherine!), you are way too kind! I do go on, don't I?
But, 'you know what?'
When you can go back around the circle, and you find things are real, well--then you realize you are not just blathering nonsense. Look:
Degas hats--
Then
Thiebauld cakes--
Then
Degas again.
(Dancers in Pink, c.1876)
Those dresses--in pink cake frosting, with piped buttercream flowers, no?
Confections.
QED.
I love stuff like that.

How about a Grandma Moses-like flying saucer-painter?? (In pink! )

These seem almost too easy to mention (as the shapes, colors are almost one-to-one correspondence):
A Woman Seated beside a Vase of Flowers, 1865 by Edgar Degas
Cakes, 1963 by Wayne Thiebaud.

And what a lovely & thoughtful gift from your daughter Lee!
Well I was a lucky girl and from Callum I got the SATC Film DVD, Mamma Mia DVD, I got S7 of The Amazing Race on DVD which is being watched as I type, a fun Brokeback tshirt with a little cartoon Jack and Ennis on it. Will get a piccie posted of that.
I got some nice underwear from Bravisimo too (I wont post pics of that!! :P) Callum obviously took my hint of the Bravissimo catalogue with the pages turned down of the sets I liked and a note of my size written in the inside cover!! And lots of fun stocking filler things too. My Mum and Callum make up a stocking for me .... I got some girly DIY equipment this year! My mothers doing apparently. I have a flowery hammer, screwdriver (with assorted heads) , tape measure, plyers and carpet knife thingy.
I got 2 digital photframes. I got a pair of birkenstocks I wanted ready for my trip to India, I got a set of vanity case things to store all my junk that clutters up my bedroom - this was from my mum who actually wrote that in the card!!! And some drink and chocs and lots of other little bits and pieces like an mergency ponch and a few pairs of cheap aerings, and candles etc.
I got a gorgeous necklace from my best friend too - which made me cry. She got married in Sweetheart Abbey in Dumfries in August. Her 2 sisters were bridesmaids. She was given from her hubby some jewllery from a local jewellry maker which was inspired by the Abbey - she wore it on her wedding day and she gave the necklace to both her sisters as their bridemaid present.
Well I opened my xmas present from her and here was the same necklace - "To my honory bridesmaid", it said in the card inside. "I really wanted to gove you this a he time, but I was just so skint. Thanks for being a huge part of my special day."
So I was a lucky girl!
