Updates!!

Well, here are some photos of what I've been doing lately!

I've begun to paint! My dad bought me a few canvases the other day, and today I finally began. I decided on still life for my first go. I've never really painted seriously before, and I wanted to start out with something easy (ish). I did a less serious version of still-life in art class a while back, but it wasn't like this. I just need to remember to not use very much paint--I leave for a couple hours and then it's all dried out.

The paints I'm using...

I did this with a couple of little kids (3 and 5) the other day, and I thought it was cute. :D

My sister discovered her inner photographer! This was actually taken up at my aunt's Jubilee (celebrating her 70th year being a nun), which I think I mentioned, but I'm not sure. Anyways, my sister and I went off so that I could eat my lemon bar without being rude (seriously, the best way to eat a lemon bar is to eat it without using your hands, but don't do that in front of adults), and I suggested that we take photos of each other. She wasn't exactly in a modeling mood, so I was the model. ;D

A scarf I just bought! I really love the pattern, and I think it will add a lot to certain outfits. 

And finally, look who's looking all sweet and cuddly! Don't let it fool you, I spent quite a while climbing the huge oak tree in our backyard to get her down, and nearly dislocated my shoulder in the process. After, my mom, being sweet, gave me a popsicle and let me watch an episode of Monk (great when you're not feeling your best).
