My mother says this when she is asked about her destination when she heads out and it is her way of kindly saying "none of your business". Carter has picked this up from her and says it sometimes when he is getting his coat on to go out. Carter is 2; my mother is 83.
I'm a babysitting Nana...yes I am. Its me and Carter these days. Mo is looking for another child care center and in between time I'm filling in. He is spending the night with us and Mo is here after classes each evening. He has tons of toys here and I'm once again evaluating children's programming. I find myself singing without reason "there is an animal in trouble..." and I think the Backyardigans Rock!
In the photo you can see one of my "highly prized" cups that I showed as a sketch in the post below. The set up above is my sequestered winter art spot on the kitchen table. When I need to clear the table, I turn around in my chair and pile it in the corner behind me...
The winter has warmed up in the last few days but I think ice and snow are being predicted again this weekend. I'm sketching and collaging away here. Strathmore selected the collage, Finding Peace, (post below) to feature in their eNewsletter, blog, and FB page. Only 4 were selected so I'm pretty happy about that. Here is the one I started this morning...
It is keeping me half way sane to participate in the Sketchbook Challenge and the Visual Journal Workshop. I find the collaging much more intuitive and didactic in process than sketching. I mentioned this on Liz Plummer's blog and she shared that her reaction was opposite. Anyone else care to weigh in on this? I'm curious to know. I'm also going to participate in this year's One World One Heart Event for Bloggers. I've never participated before but have always enjoyed the blog h0pping in previous years...if you're curious, click on the logo in my sidebar under "Dig This".
