What a pretty bird! It looks very young and unsure of itself. Or is it impossible for birds to show that?

I think it's an adult bird.. At least it's not very young. I think it was mostly confused by me standing there, looking at it with one big eye..

I'll remove this if someone finds it offensive.. I don't know why anyone would, but if someone does.. *nod* A bit of manipulation involved, I have to admit.

Who was your model? She's extremely expressive. My sister keeps trying to use me as a model for her art projects but I don't photograph that well

Lovely pictures! Thank you for sharing
![]() ![]() Is the woman with the cute dog you? And the mushroom-like food, what is that? It looks very tasty... *imagines what it must taste like* Very nice ![]() ![]() ![]() Let me see if I can upload my pics. The table looked very classy. Oh, the battery just gave out, I'll try again in an hour or so ![]() (I think I might be using too many smileys in my posts... ![]()

The cute dog is Abigail, and her mother is a neighbor of mine. I just knit the sweater. Came out well, though.
![]() The mushroom food is a variant on a traditional Christmas cake, called a "buche noel". It's a rolled sponge cake decorated to look like a log. Mine was a yellow type cake (usually it's all chocolate, or chocolate and hazelnut) with a whipped cream and chocolate ganache filling, covered with more chocolate ganache (that's the part that's sculpted to look like bark), chocolate molded leaves and meringue mushrooms (and shelf fungus). ![]() I always get my smiley count rejected, too. ![]()

That explanation makes my mouth water...
![]() Our dog, Binkie, me, our cute little tree (decorated by me 'cause no-one elses wanted to have a tree) and baby Jesus with his parents and the Wise etc. The table without the food (except for the broccolo-potato muffins) The table with food on it. Doesn't it look classy?

It's glorious, and so are you.
![]() I think Binky needs a sweater. lol Did your sister eat the broccoli? I had to postpone Christmas dinner...but it's okay. My forethought had provided pizza during the rigors of Christmas Eve, and I was unwell in the afternoon, so people ate leftovers and we have a 'rain check". Is there a Dutch equivalent to that term?

And it isn't even my collection
![]() Binkie doesn't mind if you dress him up, we used to do it all the time. We even tied a mermaidtail to his tail once... he kept walking with his tail between his legs without trying to get it off. He is such a sweet pushover. ![]() My sister took one bite and then decided it tasted too much like broccoli after all. In all honestly: I didn't finish it either. It just tasted... wrong. It wasn't broccoli, but it wasn't a muffin either... Are you okay now? I'll make you hot lemonjuice with honey in the Teacup: that makes everyone feel better! (unless you don't like lemon... ![]()

I'm fine, it was temporary. Betrayed by my tomato juice, I think.
I take it as a warning not to mix health and holiday foods. ![]()
