Well, that’s rather an odd title, and I didn’t know I was going to write it until it popped out. Seriously, I was just sitting here thinking that I should work a bit more on my Art Every Day Month project and of course, I’m in NaPoBloMo so I need to write a post today. [...]

Renovations Begin Tomorrow
We’ve been waiting for this moment for several years now. It’s a long story, one that we decided we’d no longer talk about anymore, involving a very badly done renovation and a contractor who talked big but didn’t have a clue what he was doing. Since neither did we, it didn’t make for good results. [...]
Mommy & Daddy Kissing
I know … kind of a sappy title, but that’s what Dylan drew! Our little guy was sick today, but with a bit of Vicks Vaporub (which really has worked to ease his cough) he’s fast asleep now and probably already thinking about the “parade” that he’s decided he wants to play tomorrow.
One of the [...]
Renewal
That’s a better word than what I was just thinking two seconds ago.
It’s been a tiring day today, and it occurred to me that the day after some deadline or other is met, finished, can be like that. You feel drained. But those words didn’t feel very good to me.
I like renewal better. I [...]
Landscape Mandala (AEDM)
A little bit more of a hectic day today, but I did manage to finish this little mandala – very relaxing, and I didn’t blow the colours as badly as the last one!
Mandala No. 3
I spent far more time today with my nose buried deep in my work, and the funny thing is, I worked [...]
Morning Pleasures

It’s been a beautiful morning – not sunny, kind of grayish, actually, but I sat in bed with my morning coffee and just luxuriated in the cool, crisp breeze coming in through the windows.
One thing I’ve been doing throughout this past “deadline” crunch week is making the time in the mornings [...]
Dylan Draws People
Dylan’s been missing The Big Draw – he loved seeing his work up on “the website”, as he calls it. So I’ve decided to give him his own category here. Afterall, he does have quite a passionate fan club!
Dylan’s Day Yesterday
Yesterday, Dylan had a busy day. I had to stay home, of course, [...]
“Organic Blob” (AEDM)
At first, I wasn’t even going to post this for my latest Art Every Day Month piece; it didn’t exactly turn out the way I wanted, mostly because I chose the absolute wrong colour as the background. (I must admit, I did really love the swirls before I coloured in the background!).
But then I [...]
Three Beautiful Things
What better day than today to play Three Beautiful Things?
1. The brilliance of the chance for change.
2. The power of this breath of hope.
3. The eloquence of a new day, birth to a new era.
Life truly is just so incredible, isn’t it?
Halloween Pics
I finally snagged the Halloween pictures from Ward’s camera – not that we had very many! This Halloween told the tale of a little boy reluctant to actually wear his costume. We pleaded and we begged, and he finally consented to wear his cape and witch’s hat. Here he is, sans wand and not looking [...]
