31 More Giraffes

I'm posting the last giraffe today because I'm going down to the farm tomorrow to help Meredith carve tiles for the Safari House backsplash. I wanted to think up something that marked the end of the project, as I did with the final February giraffe taking a bow. I googled "giraffe waving goodbye" and, lo and behold, a photograph with the caption "giraffe waving goodbye" came up. I made a drawing based on that image.....seemed too good to pass up. I hope no one takes offense at the giraffe's backside. He's just waving goodbye.

31 More Giraffes and a baby girl

She has arrived! Anna gave birth on Friday morning, verrrry early, to a baby girl. Her name is Mara Jade and she is absolutely gorgeous. Everyone's healthy, everyone's happy, all's right with the world.

Here's a picture of a giraffe.

Meredith and Mark are in Norfolk awaiting the appearance of the new bambina, so I am going down to the farm for a few days while Tony holds down the fort here. I hope to be able to work on some more giraffe tiles while I'm there. I'm posting the weekend's giraffes today so I won't have to worry about it over the weekend. Here are 21, 22 and 23.

My niece, Anna, and her husband, Baptiste, are expecting their first baby any day now. I thought the occasion called for a giraffe picture celebrating love of family, so this is it.

We had a really busy day today, so I'm getting to this late. We delivered a chandelier back to its home after gilding it with sterling silver leaf. It was a lot of work, but made a big difference to the appearance of the chandelier.

Oh, and here's a picture of a giraffe.

OK...I know it is May 2nd and I didn't post yesterday. I already posted the first May giraffe in April so I'm counting that as #1 for May. Here's #2.
