Prom 2008

Katherine and Scott looked great as they left for Prom tonight. My baby! She looked like a 1940's Vixon.

I was really worried because I made her dress and it's the first dress I have ever made by myself. Scott's tie was almost as hard. But all is well and she looked divine dawling.

Creative Writing

This week was spring break. Instead of going to the Florida Keys we got creative. Katherine wrote a children's book of poetry for a Children's Lit class along with some paintings for AP Art. I spent some time on my book of symbolic patterns. This one is a compass rose. We enjoyed our time together even though we didn't get any swimming in.

Inspired by Lynde's house

I recently visited my good friend, Lynde. Here is a photo of her solarium with the windows we built for her. Every visit to her house is inspiring to me. I feel like I have been transported to Nauvoo in the 1860's. She is the kind of friend that every artist needs, or maybe every human needs. We are all enriching our lives, our homes and our families and it's fun to feel inspired by others in our quest for enlightenment.

Morning walk

This morning was so beautiful I just had to go for a walk. There wasn't a lick of snow anywhere! I love the snow and I love to see it melt into Spring. I was not motivated to start a blog but after encouragement from Sarah, invitations from Christy, assistance from David and upon further reflection I will attempt with trepidation to graduate into a more technical realm. I will try to say something of significance as soon as I think of it.
