Sorry for not keeping up with stuff, but this whole week and weekend have been booked solid. So, if you are still interested, please come back and visit this site Monday or Tuesday..I’ve still been drawing, just haven’t been anywhere near a scanner for a while. So, I’ll post some things next week.
In the meantime, just leave a message..I’ve gotten your emails, I know who you are!!!! (Thanks..they were all much appreciated!)
ciao!

This year’s bunny no longer exists. I interrupted the major chocolate craving I was going through tonight for 2 whole minutes(!) while I scanned the poor headless thing. Wasn’t easy.
In my defense, I got him in the morning, so he did have a whole day to himself to romp and play before the death knell tolled.
I don’t remember the last time that I ate chocolate in such a fashion that as a result I got a bit of an upset stomach!! Probably at Halloween in 1985 or something!!
Haven’t listened to this album in a looong time and I’ve been wanting to again! Good fortune.
Won’t write much tonight..g’wain to sleep. It was a super dooooper holiday! Going to talk to the family back in the U.S. in the morning. Missed you guys a lot!! But I’m fine…lots of love and laughter here down under..which we’ll be sending your way now!!!
Ooofff…I’ll be walking off the chocolate (And various other delicious treats I consumed) tomorrow and the rest of the week.
Hmmm..I think my bunny had been subconsciously singing Morrissey to me… “The more you ignore me, the closer I get…take the easy way and give in…oooohhhhh.. and let me in!!”
*OOF
This is my bunny from Easter last year, about 5 minutes after I got the care package from home! I just had to save it for posterity!!:
The “about” page and new drawings will have to wait till next week. This week, Cam and I got busy with stuff around the house. For example, beginning to put a new threshold under the laundry door, replacing some weather stripping on doors, breaking windows inadvertently, etc.
So, have a safe and happy holiday, and I’ll see you after the weekend!
Mumsy, 10:30 is fine! We’ll be here.
O.K. So, I don’t listen to his songs much at all..(sorry, Mrs. Nelson) …but I happen to really like peanut butter and banana sandwiches lately..and I also love blue suede..for this reason:
My favourite EVER journal. My sister bought it for me and it’s the best one I’ve ever had..for the whole experience..visually, texturally, functionally, etc. I don’t write in it every night, or even every month. Ever since I started keeping journals back in 1982, I’ve written sporadically. Sometimes every single day, sometimes once or twice a month. Sometimes once every few months.
I never was too fussed about having to write. I just wrote when I felt like it. And it’s been a natural progression. I’ve always had a lot on my mind and, being an extremely quiet child (with anybody but my immediate family and some cousins), it was a great way for me to express myself. I read a lot too, and considered myself to be pretty skilled in the area of literature, even at a young age. Yet because I was shy I was grouped in with the least skilled reading groups at grade/primary school. That was more of an annoyance to me than a hindrance though. I shrugged it off because, unlike my self esteem in many areas during those years, I was confidant in my reading, writing, and comprehension skills.
I’d say that writing is pretty natural for me. Art I have to work on..sure, I love it, but I also have to concentrate more..study and practice. Those things are important in writing as well, but it’s not so much of a chore. I always have the rules of grammar and formats running through my head as I write..whether or not I choose to use them is another thing.
I had wonderful teachers who filled my head with an ever expanding vocabulary and love of words & language. When I read, I pick up on new ideas or sentence construction. I grab a dictionary almost every day to look up spellings or meanings of words..all of this is fun for me. Probably because I didn’t go to college to study it! I am still recovering from major art burn-out..but lately I’m loving creating artwork again.
So perhaps I’ll start writing my book someday soon. It’s always been a thought in the back of my mind.
K. Better get going This is what I would’ve posted last night, had I not been too tired to go online later:

Up above the world so high…
Listening to:Busta Rhymes, Beastie Boys, Millionaire, Air
Walked outside tonight and saw a gorgeous night sky! The stars were really twinkling! Just like the song! I dont think I’ve ever noticed it like that before. And then I looked up over my shoulder and saw the brilliant full moon (well, just about..tomorrow itll be 100%). It was so beautiful seeing the moonlight shining on the leaves of the tall Eucalyptus trees! I’m a pretty lucky girl!
I’ve seen some of the best moons here! Im a night-sky watcher from way back..so thats another reason for the blog title. The banner I drew for this site is obviously done from imagination, rather than observation. That kind of bothers me a little, but what the hey..it was fun and I think it’s good for now.

Anyway, that’s enough for today. I’m outta here! Cheers!
