Homespun Houston Handmade Fundraiser Tomorrow!

Tomorrow, the awesome Bri Land of Homespun Houston Handmade
has organized a fundraiser to help the families that have been affected by the recent Texas wildfires. Her online Marketplace will direct you to a varied selection of handmade goods created by local artisans, who will be donating a portion of the proceeds of their sales to the American Red Cross of Central Texas. Get those credit cards ready everyone!

I will be donating 50% of the sale price from my Miao and Mousubi:

Hopefully they will find a nice, new home and they will also get to help out at the same time. Critters LOVE to do that kind of stuff, ya know...

Be the first of your friends to check it out tomorrow!

Babo Buckaroos

Wow! I'm so happy everyone enjoyed my last post, so I've decided to post a few more photos from our Brenham photo-excursion...

In addition to bringing the plush Uglydolls, I also brought along two of my Babo vinyl action figures. They had lots of fun re-enacting the good old days of the wild, wild west!


The Babo Buckaroos knew it was going to be an exciting day...

What kind of place is this anyway?

There ain't enough cookies in this town for the both of us!

The Babo Buckaroos settled their differences and enjoyed the sunset:

Coastal Hay- what is that? Does hay grow in the water? Do we have to bring the hay to the coast? We'd better use that $7.95 for cookies instead...

After a long day, the two buckaroos headed back to the good 'ole ranch...

Critters and Bluebonnets

Since we are toward the end of a "modest" Bluebonnet season this year and it is such a gloomy day today, I thought I'd post some fun critter photos from a couple of years ago...

Our Houston Flickr group of friends decided to go on a photo-excursion to Brenham, TX during the height of the Bluebonnet season. It was just a perfect day and everyone had a great time- in spite of all of our allergies...

As per usual, my "models" came from my collection of Uglydolls, created by David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim. They did a great job!


Plunko and Babo looked for their friends:

Big Toe and Trunko took a ride with their camel friend Amit:

Trunko, Ugly Ghost, Plunko, Big Toe and Babo had lots of fun on the old tire swing:

Plunko loved the Indian Paintbrushes:

The critters were hungry!
