ValGal: This looks really tasty. I'd love to have breakfast at your house. Lunch or dinner would be fine too. Do you have any dog biscuits or Alpo? Sincerely, Bad Dog (deceased)
Toast! My uncle always loved his toast burned. I thought that was very strange but it made my mom happy as she couldn't make toast without burning it. Fun illo pal!
Ahh Val...way cool. Tricky with those little houses. Did you ever hear about that guy that toasts bread and creates artwork out of them? It's not like the Jesus on the tortilla, but close! heh heh... Great to be back and see some of your beautiful work. :)
It is nothing less than incredible that you should have a wonderful house illustration for almost any subject. This is fantastic. How nice to have a toasty warm house.
i agree with Ginger! It is so amazing that you have done so much artwork -- and incredible artwork -- in your lifetime. You have boundless energy and endless creativity -- you are yourself, a "piece of work" . :O)

Nice illustration. I'll scrape off the burnt part and still have the toast.
Very clever Val!Now I need to go and make some toast! Great job!
Nothing is worse than burning biscuits! Then trying to cut off the burned part makes it only worse.... ha ha
Very clever and a great illo val!

funny saying and lovely illo as usual...I like those roof-shaped slices of bread....make me smile :)
Very clever...I like the house toast. The proverb fits in perfectly. Cheers!
Yum! Toasty housecakes! I think I make pretty good buttermilk biscuits, but just let me fix them for company and I get them too toasty every time :(
This is a great piece! Very witty!
HE ! HE!! VEry clever idea!! Love the illo!
Yummy illo! I love the groovy retro toaster
House shaped bread, I think you have a market there! You come up with the funniest inventions :)
I like the beautiful, patterns graphic effect that you created on this one, Val.
Well, them biscuits don't look burnt to me but it must take hours to shape them into houses!
Funny one and great work.

Reminds me of when we were kids, and dad would toast the pop-tarts so long they would ignite...
My kids would love to get house-breads, when they were younger! You have some very gentle, lovely colours - beautiful image!
That's funny! Love your work!
This is just too cute!
