I've been really slacking as far as artwork goes. That's what happens when you have too many hobbies, I guess. Between actual work and being part of the band at church, I tend to spend most of my extremely limited free time sitting and doing absolutely nothing.
But I've got a couple pictures in progress. And I promised Sam Lupin a preview.
That is The Burrow (the Weasley family's house, from Harry Potter) so far. I apologize in advance for the background--I never did learn how to perspective, despite the efforts of a number of increasingly aggravated college professors.
Any request for the colour of your fence? I cannot decide....
I missed Monday's mishmash (stolen from Kelly Hashway), so we'll do a Wednesday one instead.
Both bosses are away this week and the office is DEAD. Bossman actually left a decent amount of stuff to do, but alas I managed to get everything done except the filing by noon yesterday.
I'm thinking about paying someone $20 to come and do the filing for me.
Currently reading 2 really good books. I'm sharing in case anyone is looking for something to read, as I cannot put either of them down.
I don't usually like the supermarket murder-mysteries, but
It is very dark and extremely violent, and I'm pretty sure I already know the ending, but I still can't stop reading.
I've also been on a sci-fi/apocalypse kick. I'm currently like halfway through the third book in the Breakers series.
I think the first one is still free on Kindle.
I went on a slight shopping spree on Saturday. I was on a mission to acquire a rug.
I was successful. And spent way too much money on new shoes (in fairness, I did actually need new shoes for work), a memory foam mattress cover (IT IS GLORIOUS), a doormat, 2 new skirts, some nice coasters, and a bed for the cats.
I've been visiting the birb sanctuary.
That pond has been full of herons every day for like the last week. I also got some photos of a killdeer with her chicks, but I haven't put them on the computer yet. Baby birbs coming soon.
M. stayed over on Sunday night. We visited our favourite winery on Monday. We also visited Sugar Loaf, where we found this on the ground next to M.'s car when we returned to our parking spot.
It has to be at least 15 years old, but it's in amazing condition. And it definitely wasn't next to the car when we parked. It is now hanging up in my living room.
Monday night, pretty much all of my neighbours were setting off fireworks. And not the dinky little "fireworks" you get at Walmart. Legit fireworks that you fire out of a cannon. Which are illegal in New York State, but since my town does not actually have any police, I guess laws do not apply.
