I like poms but they are quite the mess when cutting them. They are great in salads and such. I just found out I could grow them here which is very interesting. We can grow avocados, too, so I am trying to get my hands on a tree or plant one from a seed. IContinue reading “Pomegranate”

Friendly Face Day 12
Day 12? Yup. Day 11 is complete but I was too exhausted to post yesterday. John and I ran out to do a few errands and I had a mishap where I gave my rib cage a good accidental whack because of my flip flops, which pretty much fouled the rest of my day. IContinue reading “Friendly Face Day 12”

She practices her scales every day and loves to dress up. These creatures came from sketches done inContinue reading “Esmerelda and the Pink Diva Bird”
Happy Hearts Valentine Themed Sketchbook
Ok, so I am a wee bit late posting these. This hand bound, hand painted, 20 page sketchbook was a little labor intensive and most of the postcards my mom received from this sketchbook were critters without page embellishments. I just finished all of the embellishments today. Some of these may get bumped out byContinue reading “Happy Hearts Valentine Themed Sketchbook”
