FEARS

So I have been having some bad dreams lately.

Well, I guess you would call them nightmares.

In my nightmares I have lost eyesight

painfully through some art related accident.

Either my eyes are burned severely from a welding torch

or

damaged from glass splinters.

As an artist my eyesight is especially important to me.

My career would be over if I lost my eyesight.

And I wake up crying.

BUT I make myself feel better

by picturing myself in a pirate eyepatch.

Chartres Cathedral

For my Art History class

we were assigned a group project

to build a gothic cathedral. We could build it out of

whatever we wanted. It had to be atleast

24 inches high and about 2 feet long.

My group was specifically

assigned Chartres Cathedral.

All together I believe it took my group

of 4 girls 50 hours to plan and build the entire church.

It was quite alot of work but I am proud of the

way it turned out.

Lets just hope my professor likes it too.

Valentines...

..means CHOCOLATE

Just a few things I've gotten this month

I've gotten...

Sunflower seeds from a sweet friend from work.

Which reminded me that I need to

water my other plants before they wither up.

A terrible sore throat from allergies, maybe.

A colorful shoe from a spray painting fun.

Cute green safety scissors from my little sister.

Black fingers from over use of charcoal.

Creature

JUICE: U & I like juice!

My mom got a juicer

and it is so awesome!

All the different concoctions we can make...

so delicious!

Today we used mango,

pomegranate,

and

carrots.

We also used apples and oranges.

No added sugar, coloring, or preservatives

and it is so yummy!
