All Inked
Finished inking today! Have I mentioned lately how much I love working with real vellum?!? I modified the pencil draft a bit since my last post. I added a hammer in the upper right corner and a feather shap (it will be red) as a line filler. I’ve been toying with the idea of trying [...]
Scroll Progress
Oh. My. Gosh. Calliging on real vellum is like eating the smoothest chocolate. Oh soooo addictive. I’ll never go back to bristol! I hope calliging on the perga is as enjoyable. I can’t afford to do everything on real vellum. Here’s the scroll so far, the name has been blurred to protect the innocent. The [...]
Hey, Mikey! He likes it!

An Unplugged Evening
We did not watch a movie tonight. We usually do but since Sam and I had been talking about watching less TV I decided tonight would be our first “unplugged” night. First we all played our whistles and I practiced on the recorder a bit. Wow! The fingering is weird to me. Not at all [...]

And Ended Like This
My wonderful, caring, supportive, handsome, darling husband brought me goodies of dark chocolate after reading my entry today. So I’m off to enjoy a relaxing shower and dive into bed. Tomorrow will be a better day. Have I mentioned just how wonderfuly caring, supportive and handsome my husband is lately? *VBG*

It started like this
5:30a.m. “Mom, I had a bad dream.” 6:30a.m. the alarm goes off (My butt had just hit the bed again after dealing with the 5:30a.m. alarm) 6:45a.m. “Mommmmmmmmmmm, I have a peepeeeeeeeeeeee!” 8:00a.m. Jessie’s first time out 8:15a.m. Jessie’s second time out 9:00a.m. Jessie gets a time out in bed. (I stopped counting time-outs at [...]
