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.

A New Year



Tick, Tick, Tick on the clock as we approach the end of another year and the start of a new one. I hope your new year is full of love, laughter happiness, and creativity. Happy new year to all, may you enjoy the months to come!

Holiday Treats

I love cranberry bread at the holidays. Yum. I made some for Christmas morning and it tasted magnificent. I noticed when I cut open the cranberries each has a "four leaf clover" shape to it which along with their brilliant red color makes them so unique in their charm.

A Little Friend

Last night while decorating our Christmas tree we found a little snail who had decided to make his home in our tree. My younger sisters have promptly named him Shelly and are thinking of putting sparkles on his shell.

A Holiday Wreath

This morning I cut some rosemary and feverfew from the garden to make a wreath for my mom. It was very fun to make and smelled absolutely wonderful. I just intertwined the stalks, then tied them with fishing line at the end. I'm hoping it will dry nicely so we can enjoy it for a while.

Doodling

I was sitting with my younger sister coloring today, and started to doodle her. She has amzing huge blue eyes . Her remark was that it looked like bushbaby.

H&M Model

This is a model I worked on in my art class of late. It is a drawing of an ad for H&M. I loved the model's hair, I picked to draw it almost entirely because of it. I apologize for the quality of my pictures, I need to figure out to make it so there are no shadows on the sides.
