Update and Mini Perfume Collection

So, it has been forever since I've been able to add anything new here.  That last semester was a killer, but I managed to maintain an A in every class!  Whew!  I am still planning on uploading my artwork, so stay tuned.  For now, I've decided to throw an idea out there.

I love mini bottles of perfumes and have always looked for a way to not only display the collection, but make it easily accessible.  Solution:  find an old typesetter's case at an antique store and mount it to the wall using little mounting brackets.  Mine is in my bathroom next to the vanity where I get ready in the morning.

And there you have it!  Stay tuned...I'll try to update not only my ideas like this, but the artwork, too!

Finally! A Manual for Babies!

For a class I'm taking, I had to create an experimental piece of writing.  After my daughter was being particularly bratty one night, I came up with the idea of writing a baby manual.  Here is the proposed diagram for said manual.

School Daze

I would eventually like to get all of the random acts of art that I have committed uploaded here.  I would even like to say that someday, I may find the time and energy to produce a certain type of art for sale.  Then again, that sounds like a lot of work.  So I guess the baby steps of uploading pictures is a big enough goal for now.

Here are some pieces from school (high school and military training).
NOTE:  Please remember these (while crude) are my own works of art.  Please do not use or copy (the art or photographs) for any purpose without permission from yours truly.  Grazie!

Bio Poem

Crazy busy with school work! The last semester was a killer, but this next one is proving to be pretty fun! This is a class project I'm presenting on Monday. Let me know what you think!

Papers, papers, and more papers!

So, I am drowning in papers for school.  And, I am somewhat surprised to report, they are not writing themselves.  If that doesn't change soon, I may have to (*gulp*) take matters into my own hands.  Pray for me, please.

Operation Fruit Bowl Complete! (For now)

The last addition to the bowl was an egg.

The pattern can be found here.
I will try to get a picture of the full bowl uploaded soon.  And I do plan to add some more, I just don't have the right yarn or patterns yet.  Besides, on to other projects, such as...school.  Blech.

Alex got out of school over a week ago, and I started last week.  No fun!  So I am hoping this blog will give me much needed breaks from reading and writing papers.  Any projects will have to be quite small unfortunately.  :o(

Anyway, I don't know what will come next.  So stay tuned and thanks for all the e-mails and notes I've gotten with great comments!
