Frodo: I can't do this, Sam. Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go...
I made this for my newborn cousin! I got the pattern off of Ravelry. (I love that site, by the way.) It took FOREVER, simply because of its size! ...
A month ago, my aunt had a baby shower, and I painted some letters to match the nursery design (she has a very specific design/pattern/color/theme). I made a C, K, N, and R-- they did not find out the baby's gender, and the initals would be either CNK (girl) or CRK (boy). The baby, a cute little girl, was born a week or...
This picture is from sometime around last Christmas. EVERY BIT of my jewelry stuff was out all over the floor. Since then I've used most of it up and have more stuff! lol!

A few weeks ago, we visited my cousins for a First Communion and a Confirmation. Mom suggested I draw pictures for them (the day before!) and this is what I came up with-- St. George and the Dragon for my cousin recieving his first Communion, and St. Benedict for my cousin recieving Confirmation with St. Benedict as his patron. A few weeks ago,...
I finally organised my craft basket. Don't worry if it doesn't look organized-- its organized to me. At least stuff is not falling out. My beads and wire are in an under-the-bed box. ...
Arts, crafts, and crazy creativeness might not be the biggest thing in our family, but every now and then I convince my brothers to join me. Ben has done some excellent drawings and poems, and William and Nick have both written some pretty good stories. But I don't have pictures of those. But I do have these pictures to share: SOME of the...
So you thought that all I could make was some neat drawings and fun crafts? Looks can be misleading. For every good drawing showcased on my blog, I have ten pages (however unrelated, aside from technique)of terrible, horrible, nasty drawings. For every five crafts I make, one makes it to the dumpster. And of those that survive, not all make it to the...

This is my first full colored-pencil portrait. I am not tottally happy with it, but it is certianly the best so far! And a good experience! I now know what colors to use for faces. A work in progress shot My drawing next to my reference. ...
Many of my promised updates will not be coming for awhile... I broke my camera. It fell to the concrete ground just as I was pulling the strap over my head. The inside lens came loose. Mom thinks it can be repaired. It had better be able to! It was a very nice camera. Anyway, I have pictures for some, but by no...
Updates coming! So far I've spent my summer vacation doing all sorts of artsy things. Don't worry, I haven't disappeared. But there are more important things than blogs, you know. (*runs away from angry blog-followers*) Here is some stuff to look for: My "How to Make a Rosary" article from Ink and Fairydust and my brother's attempts at making one A few bits...
