Oh boy, a long time since I posted last! Sorry about that. Let’s try again. So the last time I was working on Miss Tutu’s Star, written by Leslea Newman. That is at the press right now, and will be out next fall. And the cover is going to have sparkles!! I am very excited about that!
In not so happy book news, three of my books have recently gone out of print, boooo. That means that I can’t order them anymore, so if you see a copy of Prudy’s Problem, Happy Bees, or Seymour Slug, snap it up! It may be your last chance!
In more happy book news, things are looking (dare I say?) positive for a new story I have written called “Ten Creepy Monsters.” I am waiting to hear from my editor, but his initial reaction was good…
Upcoming events include a school visit next week, and our spring open studio day in May – May 8th to be exact. Mark your calendars.
In Etsy news, my “Yeti Loves His Lederhosen” was featured in their “keep it weird” section – thanks, guys! You can check it out here. Yeti got a lot of hearts from that, yaay!
I just got back from The Big City, where I saw the Tim Burton exhibit at MOMA -fantastic! I loved seeing his early influences and how he took off on his own weird tangent. And of course the movie props were great!

We also went to the fabulous Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It was a lovely sunny day, and there were actually flowers blooming outside! After all this dreary rainy weather we’ve been having up here in the northeast, it was a welcome sight indeed.

And to top of off a great trip, our hotel was right down the street from my favorite building – the Chrysler Building. A lovely sight day or night!

Finally, I just have to throw in this cute cat picture of Tom watching a little black toad on tv!

Once again, I will try to be more active in my posting!
