From left to right: Butterick 5476, McCalls 6070, and Simplicity 2219.

The fabrics are all from fabric.com, and the prices were quite reasonable. I have been very frustrated with the selection of knits at Jo-Ann , especially at 12.99 a yard. The teal on the right is a knit from Moda’s City Weekend (which I have always wanted the set of quilting fabric), and I was able to grab the last two yards they had. Score!

It looks ridiculously huge on our queen size bed, but once we upgrade to a king it will be great. The red fabric I found at JoAnn, and they had just enough for the border, binding, and about a half yard left that I may use for matching pillowcases.

This is not one of her normal spots, so I took this shot. And not a bad picture either for 7am on a rainy morning with no flash.

I bought myself a wacom bamboo fun tablet for myself for Christmas. I was attempting to draw using photoshop and getting really frustrated. I finally installed corel painter that was included, and its much easier to use. It feels a lot more like sketching.

This is a quick sketch I did just to get used to the different brushes and get used to drawing in layers again. Other than the hair being red, it doesn’t quite look like me, but I’m happy with it.

This is how high the snow got on our windows. This is a second story window with an awning right below, but still impressive!

I would say yes.

I found out about this band a few months back, and this has to be my favorite song of theirs.
