I got some new monsters for Christmas who have yet to make the blog. I would like to introduce you to Gideon, the guardian of the garage. He's keeping all bad spirits away from the garbage can. His plinth was a gift from my sister and Gideon himself was from His Lordship.
It is a cold, foggy and gloomy day here in Manitou Springs - we have had 4 days without sun. That is 4 days in which we have not met our forecast high for the day. We got moisture in the form of snow, sleet and drizzle so that has been great. But whenever we get a patch like this, I know why I live in Colorado and not England. I just get sad, lethargic and grumpy in this weather.
Still the garden is happy enough. None of the plants seem to mind the cold.
His Lordship recently purchased a bag of utensils because he wanted a silicon scraper he could used to get paint out of a bucket. He got a large bag from the thrift store for $2 and it contained some rather interesting items.
The most intriguing were two cookie cutters - a cross and a poop emoji. Now I don't know about you, but I think this is making a statement. The employee who packaged these together certainly has a sense of humor.
Cleaned off my desk the other day and wanted to share some of the unusual shit I collected over the last 5 years - yes it has been that long since I have had a purge of desk clutter.

Another cool bit of branding from some clothing.
Not spooky but big - I made this 32 by 17 inch panel to go in the downstairs bathroom window. It is the Garden of the Gods, a large city park with big rock fins located in Colorado Springs.
