Still alive... and finally inspired!

I know its been close to a month since I posted anything. A number of things have contributed to this. First and foremost, I have been uninspired. Second, I have been pretty busy at work. And last, we have been busy with projects around the house.

However, I finally felt like getting out my camera, the colored pencils, and pens this weekend. Maybe this was because Cathie's mother was in town and seeing her knit inspired me to do something. Also, I think that because Cathie's birthday was on Saturday and I needed to make her a card helped with my inspiration.

Whatever it was, it felt good. And I think what made me feel the best was that we were able to REALLY clean our house this weekend.

Our list of projects for the next few months is pretty aggressive. We hope to build "built-ins" on either side of the fireplace, paint all of the ceilings, and get the hardwood floors refinished.
