Last night i looked out my window to see the sunset, as i often do, and i was amazed to see hundreds of crows flying around! I didn't even know crows did this. There were so many of them - most of them landed on the roof, but there were a bunch in several trees in the distance. I tried to take a picture of them flying around, but that's hard to do when you don't have the flash on. They reminded me of bats. The way they all landed just outside our window sort of looked like a bad omen of some sort, but i like crows so maybe it's a good omen.

whoops
I am not doing very well updating my blog in this new year. I have been working on things - it's just that i haven't taken pictures of them yet. Hopefully that will come soon. In the meantime, here's a quick update on what i've been doing.Chubbikins: Well, i have some new designs to share with you as well as new secret Chubbikin project. I think they're pretty darn cute! I will let you know when those guys are up in my shop.
Paper dolls: I am almost ready to print out my samples and mail them off! I just have to fix a few of them up in photoshop and put together the pages. I'm pretty happy with how they're coming out. Fingers crossed!
Other: I ordered some new cards that will hopefully get here soon so i can put them up in my shop for Valentine's day (oh boy, that's coming up quick isn't it?). I've decided i'm going to buy some colored inks. I get frustrated painting with watercolors sometimes because the colors get muddy. So i'm going to try to do some paintings and see how that works out. It'll work out fantastically i'm sure! Then, when i have some amazing new paintings, new paper dolls, and whatever else, i can work out a new design for my website. It needs an update! But i don't want to update until i have new work. Haha, so it might be a while before i have a new website. And on an unrelated note, i have at least 900 more songs to rate in my itunes library. Not making much headway with that. Oh well.
That's all for now folks!

Pictures from the bazaar are up! The professional pictures i mean. You can take a look at them on Flickr here. However, there are no pictures of my booth. I saw the photographer walking around taking pictures, and he seemed to avoid my table. Ah well. I did find some pictures that i am in. I drew arrows so it would be easier to find me.

Well, i have to say that they taste better than they look. Thank goodness! I always imagine these beautiful christmas cookies with pretty and intricate designs, but somehow they always end up looking like this. Until i have real pastry bags and those metal tip thingys, instead of hannaford brand ziploc bags (which causes the icing to either pop out the sides or ooze out the top, dripping all over the place), the cookies will continue to look like this. By the end i was just dripping icing all over the place!
I think my people look so unhappy because their outfits were not very fashionable, and there was icing everywhere.
They taste good though! I swear. If you'd like a recipe for sugar cookies that aren't super sweet and more on the buttery side, try out this recipe for Soft Christmas Cookies!Saturday, December 19, 2009
