for the holidays i've been trying to make as many of my presents as possible. i will post more pictures later, but i don't want to ruin any surprises so i'm going to wait. in the mean time i have given my parents their presents already, so i feel comfortable posting pics of their gifts. as if they would ever read my blog to begin with. ha! so here they are. both pieces are based on photographs of them circa 1985-1987. i admit that the quality of the images is terrible, but my camera batteries are dead and i have been far too lazy to do anything about it. so until then, i will be uploading awful cell phone pics. your welcome. these two pictures are mid-process, i have one of them complete which will come later. auf wiedersehen!

i almost forgot

i have a book club meeting coming up! i suppose that since it's my first meeting ever it's understandable that i keep forgetting about how i committed to it. oh well. our first book is flannery o'connor's "a good man is hard to find." even though i've been putting it off a bit, i'm still excited about reading this book. here is a link to a digitized version on google books, maybe you will enjoy it. alright, enough from this gal for the moment. ttyl.
