Quiet night in....

I've come to realize how much I love doing nothing. I am having a quiet night in, all by my lonesome, and I'm honestly loving it. Not that I dislike the company of my friends. But occasionally we all need a "me night". Sure I have things I could be doing, but instead, I'm laying on the couch, cuddled with a blanket, doing nada.

Speaking of blankets. My family has just decided to do something really special. As my few readers may know, we lost my gram this summer. Well, my uncle found someone who makes quilts and he and my mom put together a bunch of my gram's clothes and every family member who wants one can have one of my "gram's" quilts made for them. I think this is so touching and such a great idea. I always wanted a quilt made out of fun tshirts, but this is a much nicer idea.

So, I started watercolour class this week and obviously enjoy it enough to go out and buy some supplies. It's actually refuelled my dwindling artistic ambition. Now, I got big game plans for Christmas art projects. And I even seriously thought today that maybe I should start selling some of my art. Turn some of my photography into cards or something snazzy like that. Who knows.

I got a big honour this week. My friend's blog is always about the latest and greatest in technology but he decided that the "smile-its-halloween" gift I did for him was worthy of a non-techie blog. I decided to carve for him an Alice Cooper pumpkin. Why Alice Cooper? Well, because my friend is a fan and also because Cooper is creepy and what could scream halloween more than creepy? I am special (not in the short bus kinda way either).

Well, I guess that's it. I know....holy boring.
