Guinea Pig Logic




I have to be honest....I cannot stop watching these two guinea pigs talking about pumpkin spice. They just tickle me!

I am very much looking forward to pumpkin spice latte weather and walking around wearing a fleece vest rather than walking about covered in sweat. I may or may not be experiencing those first hot flashes on the rocky road to menopause but it is also 95 degrees. They have had to close the schools because the kids were overheating. But I am still waiting and longing for Fall....

I am busy writing a children's book about guinea pigs...I can't really talk about it .......it is about an adventurous guinea pig that travels the world.....watch this space

I am afraid in the creative process I have more or less become a guinea pig and I am starting to observe the world as if I were covered in fur and walked on four legs and was covered in whiskers. Here is a piece I did called Guinea Pig Logic:


Okay I'm just going off to nibble on some carrots and hay....
Have a great weekend!

  8. Oh that video is sooo cute! Of course I had to go back and watch it again. Whoever did the voice overs were great! Your drawing is so cute too! This has to go down as one of the funniest videos, at least that is what I believe and for you to create a drawing to go with it just makes it better and better! Happy PPF and have a Wonderful week.

  13. Oh my goodness....LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! Can't wait to see what you come up with! Had 2 long haired guinea pigs in the seventies... their cage took up half our spare room...Your book will be fabulous no doubt!! I love how you are becoming one with the guinea pig...lol so fun! Fall is my favourite time of year and even though there are a few more warm days ahead at least it's not sweltering heat which makes me miserable!

    Hugs Giggles
