So, can I use a new nephew as an excuse for not completing my Rihanna drawing? LOL I am so bad. This journal has turned into a list of excuses. I'm screwed!

And another bragging photo... this is a gladiola in my yard. Isn't it kewl!?! I've never seen yellow and purple flowers! (I'm an amateur gardener, ok!?) I think it's so pretty and so wierd how soil and fertilizer and whatever affects plants because last year they were bright RED. I did transplant them to a shadier location this year. I wonder if that had anything to do with it?

overdue!

I really have no excuse for my neglect of this blog. I have been keeping busy with many projects and homework, and so the only time I really have to draw is before bed. And apparently drawing makes me sleepy. I am still trying to complete a drawing of Rihanna in my sketchbook that I started a few nights ago, but in the middle of it, I fell asleep!! haha I'll post it when it's done. Once I clean up the stray sleep-doodle marks.

As always, I am going to post a photo of something ELSE that can sort of count for something artsy-craftsy...here's a photo of some cupcakes I made for my sis-in-law's baby shower. I totally yoinked this idea (the baby face ones) from someone else off the web, so I can't really take credit for it, but I did it. They tasted yummy (red velvet), but I really need to find a frosting recipe. The convenient store bought icing is what I normally use, so in the hot, humid South, this icing tends to melt!!!
