too much to do, too little time

I have got to start updating my blog more. I always tell myself I'm going to stay on top of it, and I always seem to forget to. I'll leave you with a picture I took of my sweet, adorable puppy Winnie. Isn't she cute?

Happy Halloween!

textures

Today I thought I would post a few pictures I took of different textures. Ever since I was little I have loved feeling different textures on objects. I'm not sure why it's always interested me, but I just thought I would share these. 

a long overdue update.

I've been extremely busy over the past two months & haven't had ANY time to update my blog! I'll try to post pictures of recipes, projects, & travels from December sometime this weekend.

a weekend away

 With the end of the semester rapidly approaching and about 5,000 things stressing me out, I decided I needed to get out of Tuscaloosa for the weekend. So, last Wednesday I made plans for my friend and I to spend the weekend with my grandmother in Atlanta. My mom and aunt were going to be leaving for Costa Rica from Atlanta on Saturday morning, so I got to see my mom for a little bit Friday night too!

We got to my grandmother's around 3:30 on Friday. After unpacking and catching up, we grabbed dinner to go at the OK Cafe and went to visit my uncle and his girlfriend. Saturday, we went to the High Museum of Art to see the Da Vinci exhibits. Afterwards we went to the mall, had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and then went back to her house to watch the Alabama game. The weekend was so fun and went by way too fast! I was sad to leave this afternoon, but am feeling refreshed and ready to get all of my school work done!

I thought it would be fun to make little goodie-bags for my mom and aunt to take on their flight to Costa Rica. I made the airplanes on the fronts out of card stock. Aren't they cute?

 

a new idea.

I've decided that I'm going to start uploading different projects I do for school & art I do for fun.
I'm uploading 2 today.

About these sketches:

1. The sketch of the woman's face was done last year in my design lab. It's just a quick doodle I did before starting my assignment for the day.

2. The other sketch is my "reproduction" of a piece done by an art teacher I had in middle school. His style is so interesting, I love it. I did this sketch one Sunday a few months ago.

pie pops

Happy Halloween! I found this recipe on bakerella.com & thought these would be perfect for Thanksgiving! So, I decided to make a test batch of them today to see how they'd turn out. I chose to make pumpkin this time, which isn't my favorite type of pie. However, overall they turned out great! They're so easy to make & I think they look adorable!
