The Stein Collection



 A week or two ago my mom and I decided to to take a drive over to San Francisco to see the featured exhibit at the SFMOMA, the Stein Collection. It was well worth the trip. The art and the exhibit in whole was just amazing. The Steins were amazing people and just walking through the collection made you want to transport yourself to Paris in the early nineteen hundreds. It was quite magical. 
The Steins were notorious for investing in upcoming 'modern' artists such as Matisse and Picasso. Did you know that a lot of Picasso's art was done cardboard? It blew me away that cardboard could be so beautiful. Im so glad I got the chance to see the exhibit it was truly astounding!

A very nice day trip to San Francisco   

Hello, I  apologize for my very long rude absence. I have been very preoccupied by many things lately such as lemon cake, my family, and trying to have fun :) Aside from that I'm happy to back and blogging again, and you can imagine how much "stuff" for lack of a better term I have to blog now! Huzzah!

Mr. Octopus



I recently aquired a new little cousin. He is a little boy and his name is John or "Johnny". I am glad to say I am about to go meet him, so I decided to make him this adorable yarn octopus that I found in a family craft magazine. I love these little eight legged friends so much, I am thinking of making myself one!

Little Green Men


The leperchans have come out to play. I am rather fond of them. I found a four leaf clover just the other day.
Anyway, happy early Saint Patricks Day! 

My Magical Friends




I LOVE Harry Potter books. They are my favorite books, and am guilty of reading the series  almost eight times. I love all the characters and their personalities. Some of my favorites in include Ginny Weasly, Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom..... and so on ( I love them all).
Happy reading!

A Bit Out of It


A gaggle of girls, A flock of females, A land of ladies
Hello, I have been quite busy lately, between high school applications, soccer, and my leadership class there has been no time for blogging. But things are starting to slow down so I got this doodle of girls up here. Happy February!

A Beach Trip





To celebrate the new year we decided to head over to the beach for part of the day. It was marvelous. We explored tide pools,and watched our dog run laps up and down the beach. We collected some nice shells and rocks too. My dog's name is Miles. He is a one year old half Australian cattle dog, half black lab, who has a lot of energy and personality. He LOVES the beach, he ran and swam for a good hour before he decided he was tired, it was great to watch.



 Miles went to meet the local surfers too.
