It's been quite some time since I shared my art desk with the WOYWW (What's on your workdesk Wednesday) link, but today seems totally appropriate, because I have something very special on my desk today.
I'm a huge believer that you should always try to pass on a smile, or do one good deed a day.
It doesn't have to be much just something to make someone's day a little brighter.
I met my Postie on the driveway this morning to give her some super happy, organic free range eggs.
She had no idea that we now have chickens and was totally surprised and happy to receive the eggs.
I included some huge ones in the hope that they may contain some double yokes
(as they very often do) which I thought might be fun for her children to see.
Anyway, as I handed the box over to her...she handed me a box.
I wasn't expecting anything in the post, so I was intrigued as to what it might be.
Upon opening... which was quite a feat in itself as it was so well packed, I found the cutest figurine of Mufftypup!
As you can imagine...I shed a wee tear, but then the smiles appeared.
Art by Nicola McLean had sent me one of her latest amazing creations.
Nic knew that Muffy used to sit on my desk whilst I painted and she thought it would be nice if I had one of her little figurines. She went into Muffy's instagram account which has over 600+ photographs to use as reference and here's the result.
Just look at that cute tail... I expect it to wiggle at any moment.
How clever is this and so unique!
I have to say I'm completely smitten with it and that smile this morning has lasted all day.
Thank you Nic so much for your talent, kind and thoughtfulness... I love it!

ReplyDeleteI hope i am not repeating myself but the TV/ internet is on and off, there are men hanging around outside in bucket, up the pole and this has now gone on for several hours. I am not sure if they are saboteurs or repairmen. It stopped as my post ended and I left the room to get a cuppa and returned to find it gone. I was salivating at the thought of fresh eggs!. The figurine of your furry friend is lovely, so thoughtful. have a great week

ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable Neesie, I was looking at it on my phone through your Instagram pics and just had to stop by to see her in all her glory, what a wonderful special gift - but I do think next you're going to have to hand deliver Nic a dozen double yoke eggs now :)

It's a mini mini McMuffy. What a beautiful tribute.
ReplyDeleteWhat a completely wonderful and thoughtful gesture from your friend, that made me smile. I also try to do one act of kindness each day, try to counteract all the negativity that seems to be prevalent these days 💖
ReplyDeleteHugs LLJ 7 xx
This was truly made with love...you can feel it. Captured Muffy so well. Yes, I can see why it would have brought a tear and then a smile that could last all day. What a gift!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful surprise for you! Now he can sit and watch you paint again! My Penny passed away this morning, so I know the pain of losing a treasured pet. I'm so glad you have this little memory of your Muffy! Thanks for sharing, Lindart #31
ReplyDeleteoh my GOD that face is perfect. Neesie, she's wonderful, both figurine and artist. I cried when I SAW HER TOO. What a wonderful, sweet, awesome, incredible gift. Nicola rocks. I'm gonna rush over to her blog (drool over her rocks painting once again,I must do once a week anyway, lol) and tell her just how wonderful I think she is. You and muffy are so deserving of such loyal and loving friends. I'm proud to say I'm your friend too. We have such a great group of artists around us, it's beautiful really, don't you think? Hugs my friend. I bet your postie's kids will LOVE seeing double yolkers, they still thrill me to this day,lol. Especially since they're rarer than hen's teeth nowadays. (I couldn't resist, lol)
ReplyDeleteSeeing the Muffy figurine makes me want to cry & smile at the same time.
ReplyDeleteHow did she make it!!!!! Looks just like Muffy - at firs it broke my heart and then I thought what a wonderful idea to put on your desk. You and Nicola are such talented artists - what a fantastic gift!!
