I’m about to try a new recipe called Chicken Thighs with Creole Mustard-Orange Sauce after I write this. Sounds tasty to me, I’ll let you know how it goes. Really feeling like a home-cooked meal today. I made this pineapple upside down cake for a potluck last week and it was a hit. Deliciously bad for you.
I have a pile of books on getting published and I’m chugging along with that. God only knows how many drafts of query letters I am going to go through before I finally feel confident about one. I’m embracing the process with open and shaky arms. I thought the hardest part was over, writing and illustrating my children’s book. Not quite.
Back to work! Happy Bokeh Wednesday!
recipe update – The chicken was tasty but the sauce was a little intense by itself. We had the chicken on top of white rice and the orange juice and broth mixture was too much for me. I think it was the acidity.

I look down all the time. Looking down at feet, checking out shoes. I’m obsessed, I point out cute ones all the time. It’s a hobby.
My time off is divine. I’ll be far away from work until January 2 and I’m beside myself with joy. Getting to spend my time, every minute, doing what I want. Today has been filled with sketches upon sketches. Things have calmed down a bit and it’s nice.
Christmas Eve was a blast with Raul’s side of the family. Just enough food and we danced until 4 in the morning. Christmas Day we got dumped on with snow but went to my parents’ anyway. My mom made the best meal and her Pecan Lace cookies were delicious. The sweet potato casserole I made didn’t turn out bad either (Thanks Jo!). The Hidden Mint cookies were a disaster, I didn’t even want to hand those out but Raul likes them so the rest are for him.
One of the gifts from my parents was a copy of The Wise Woman’s Almanac. What a perfect gift, seeing my mom’s name (she edited) and mine (I illustrated) on the same page.
Now back to the sketches…

Awhile back I wrote about this illustration. Well it’s official, The Wise Woman’s Almanac is published! It looks like a fantastic book.
If you click on the links on that page you’ll see she chose the illustrations of feet and hands, but not the anatomy illustration.
