explore...


I have been posting all my art work on my flickr, but if one happens to be chosen by Explore, I post it here too. I had a lot of fun drawing and painting this portrait. Ink and watercolors.

25K...15.5 miles...






Britt and Kris ran in a 25K race this morning in Houston. It was soooo cold! Kris had a little problem at the end with her breathing...she's doing fine now...just a little knee pain. Britt finished 7th and Kris finished 8th in their age group.

cowl and fingerless mittens


I cast on this bulky cowl Friday night and finished it last night...a very quick and easy knit. The pattern can be found here. I used Spud & Chloe's Outer in Bayoo and Soapstone. This cowl knitted up quickly on size 13 needles. I started the fingerless mittens last week and finished them one night this week. I used Spud & Chloe's Sweater yarn. I know it's not a good picture...bad lighting and it's hard for me to take a picture of myself.

4 weeks...




The chicks are 4 weeks old now...most of them have almost completely feathered out, but still like the warmth of the heat lamps.
