Yesterfest in Bastrop, TX. 2012

Octopus Hat!

 I have been delinquent in my blogging!  The events I have worked since March - well I've been so very busy making balloon art that there was no time to take any pictures...

Just these two pictures from the entire spring!

Yesterfest in Bastrop was SO much fun! 

I was able to give away my balloon art to the kids!

Not just for kids!!

Pecan Street Spring Festival - many pictures were taken of me, but they are all in other people's cameras!

A funtastic party for a 4 year old - came up with this ditty...

Four is NOT a bore

Four is NOT a chore

 Four is SO much more

Four IS FUN GALORE!!!!

A Spring Festival at a day care in South Austin was a BLAST!!!

I will do better with my blogging!!!

Elgin Hog Eye Festival 2011

Jakey with two of the "Sowpremes"

They put a pink boa on me to add some bling!


The Sowpremes arrived at the 24th Annual Hog Eye Festival in Elgin, TX. riding in on the back of Harley Davidson motorcycles! These gals can really sing!!



I made a lot of motorcycle balloons! The kids like having a choice of who is riding on it; a dog, a monkey, Mickey Mouse or Spiderman!

Personally I like the monkey on a motorcycle - I make great monkey sounds! :))
As my mother would say:
"Drives me bananas!"

I love working the home grown festivals in Elgin!

"The Land of Wulf"

"The Land of Wulf"

Is a story Jakey wrote and performs with balloon art!


Recently performed with the help of Morgan the Magnificent
(aka The Jokester)
plus all the kids at Charlotte's Birthday Party!

The basic story:

It is a land of puppies. Once a year the elder puppies gather under
the full moon and teach the baby puppies how to howl! This year
however, the full moon does not appear and instead the whole sky is a
bright orange.

The elders ask a variety of forest friends if they can help to find
out what is going on. It isn't until they ask Polly Parrot (who can
fly to the tree tops) that they discover the orange sky is actually a
herd of giraffes!

The giraffes had lost their home in a forest fire and ended up in the
land of Wulf. The tree tops in Wulf are covered in delicious purple
flowers that the giraffes can not resist! They all make friends and
agree that at the full moon the giraffes would not block the view!
Happy ending with the giraffes having a new home, and the baby puppies
all howling!!

Old Pecan St. Spring Festival 2011

Did I say "spring"? I should have said summer!
Mother's Day hit 98 scorching degrees in downtown Austin.
Thank goodness for sunscreen and Gatorade...

The other clown at Pecan St. just looked at these 2 goofy guys weird when they asked him to make them "embarrassing" hats.
Doesn't stop Jakey!
A pink octopus & a neon flower hat ought to do the trick! LOL

Mom took the picture - sure wish she had gotten the bat that was perched on top of this kid's hat! Really made for a complete ensemble!! :-)

Okay. I admit Jakey wasn't the only colorful character at Pecan St.!!

These 3 siblings loved their hats!
I was given all of the flowers from the booth that is pictured behind them! The very talented vendor makes unique vases! Should have gotten one of them - all the flowers would only fit in this pitcher when I got them home!

A beautiful reminder of a very fun Old Pecan St. Festival!!

The Old Pecan Street Fall Festival - 2010

I was SO busy that only this one picture was taken with my camera.

That's because daddy forgot his camera, so I offered him mine and said he could e-mail me and I would send it to him... :-))

It was my 25th year working the Pecan Street Festivals!

How I managed that being an 11 year old giant?

Your guess is as good as mine! :-D

Guess I'll call him Stretch.

Yep. My new friend Stretch the Squirrel!! :-)
