It's great having someone as creative as you doing the heavy lifting Alison. Not to mention the whole thing about being able to read my mind... :-)

Preparing to Re-boot.
The school term is essentially over for me now and I am focusing on my goals for the winter break. First of course is the gift buying for my kids’ birthdays and for Christmas - because no matter what else... Continue reading

Reworking
Image
My daughter was horrified to see me tearing out all the crocheting I did over the last week. I decided that the infinity scarf I was working on was too long and I didn't like it, so I pulled out... Continue reading

This Guy's Stuff is So Awesome, I Think I'll Steal It.
Image
My inspirational quote for my diary today was "This is not a pen, it is a prayer" Sadly it is unattributed. Even documents devoted to writing seem to have trouble with proper attributions. The actual quote is, "This is not... Continue reading

ASCII Art and Stranger Things
Image
Well another week of classes has gone by without much to show you in the way of art. I did finish my ASCII art assignment, about 5 days later than I wanted, but hey, at least it's done. Superman (the... Continue reading

Sundays

Sunday Mornings. That's another thing to add to my gratitude list. We've changed the way we work weekends around here, well I changed them. Sundays used to be the chore day and I would be doing laundry from dawn to... Continue reading

Her Master's Bidding
Image
I am in that state between sleep and wakefulness, that time when I want to reach out to my dreams and pull them closer to me so I can stay sleeping a little longer. But I know that can’t happen.... Continue reading

The End of the First Week
Image
The first week of school nearly always comes as a shock to my system. Getting up early and making lunches for the whole family. Attending classes and thinking about new things. Walking a lot more with a nice heavy pack... Continue reading

Back to School
Image
It's been a great week. I love being at school. I really am a life-long learner, but being at university really gets me exctied about experimenting with new things and challenging old ideas. This term I am taking New Media... Continue reading

There Are Days
Image
Today is another painting day for me, which is a joyous thing. I am by nature a lazy person, except when it comes to painting. I have a way of managing to put everything else aside when I have a... Continue reading

Image
Today is the first day of summer camp for the kids so I have 5 days pretty much to myself to try and get some creative work done. The commission is my priority this week but in between, while the... Continue reading

Away for a Little While
Image
I have been working away at a commission (which I cannot show you) so there will be a clear lack of art available for posting over the next week or so. Also I am going to be going dark on... Continue reading

Just For Fun
Image
Yesterday my daughters and I went out into the world to leave some presents for strangers. We left little notes of encouragement everywhere we went. We hid them in books, left them in sales racks, on bus seats, and on... Continue reading

Friday the 13th

I personally don’t harbour many superstitions. I think that Friday the 13th is awesome because it’s Friday! And really Friday is the best day of the week (although Sunday Mornings are way up there too). Over on Google + folks... Continue reading

An Open Letter to Stephen Harper, With Hope and Despair
Dear Mr. Prime Minister, I’ve been thinking for a long time about why I simply cannot support you. It’s not that I am a “Liberal.” In fact for years I was a conservative, I even had (and still have) a... Continue reading

Thoughts on Commuter Sketches
Image
I like doing these stippled (dot) drawings. I like drawing on the train. I was showing my drawings to my friend and she said that probably one of the good things about drawing strangers this way is that the pressure... Continue reading

Baby Bunny or Midnight Marauder?
Image
Right after the Hailstorm Apocalypse last week we found a young bunny in our backyard who had been (I believe) separated from his family. So he(she?) has been living in our backyard eating our clover and running, terrified, every time... Continue reading

Lazy Summer Day
Image
It’s been a reasonably good day. I’ve had a backyard full of kids for most of the afternoon, running through sprinklers and eating ice cream. I don’t mind, at least I know where they all are (even as I watch... Continue reading

Small Things

This morning I did a load of laundry as soon as I got out of bed. When it was finished spinning I lugged the basket of wet clothes out into the back yard. Standing ankle deep in clover, my feet... Continue reading

I have to get out of here!
Although we do have really amazing brains that can help us imagine all kinds of things, like places we have never been and people we have never met. We still need to get out and see stuff and meet people.... Continue reading

Productivity is Productive

Before I say anything I would like to wish my American friends a happy July 4th. Be careful out there. Yesterday I did turn off my internet for two hours. I cleaned the house for the first bit because knowing... Continue reading

Empty Content

It’s hard to believe that I used to write a blog daily. Sometimes even multiple times a day. I know that school kind of took away that drive to write, because writing for marks is a lot different than writing... Continue reading

Madame X

I flipped my page-a-day calendar from The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, to discover Madame X is the piece of art for the day. I saw this painting in person when I was in New York a few years back... Continue reading
