Knitting!

I've been doing some knitting!

I made a nice long skinny scarf for myself, it's blue and pinkish-red.

I also made a chunkier scarf for my mom, it's bright pink and light purple.

And I'm working on another skinny one that's red and grey.

I really wanna learn how to do 'ribbing' so I can make some kick ass leg warmers!

Finished!!!!!!!!!

After more than seven months... It's all done!



It took me long enough, but I'm happy with it.

And here's a picture of my super clean, clutter free workspace:



Well, it was clean and clutter free at one point in time, just not recently...

Playing with Bones!

We're studying bones in my Anatomy & Physiology class, and so we get to play with bones! We get an assembled skull (fake), and a bone box (mostly fake). Here's the bone box:

And here's a close up of a few interesting bones; there's the mandible (jawbone), the sphenoid (a 'butterfly' shaped bone from your skull) and a few parietal bones (left and right): And finally some real bones! The big long one's a right humorous (the bone in your upper arm), the small ones are vertebrae (the one on the right is a cervical vertebrae and the one on the left is a thoracic [holds a rib] vertebrae), and the weird one with all the holes is a sacrum (5 fused vertebrae near the bottom of your spinal column): Also, happy birthday George Harrison!

Painting... Again...

I've started another painting. I'm really happy with it so far. I wasn't planning on starting anything, but inspiration struck.

I'm actually using my last piece of canvas panel (or whatever the heck it's called) for it, and I was saving that for a different project. But this needed to be painted I guess.

It's gonna be a simple clip-art style running shoe. And when it's done, I'm going to hang it on the wall by my treadmill for inspiration!

Yay!

Walking... A lot

As part of my New Year's resolution, I've been walking... a lot. I've been on the treadmill every day for the last week and a half. I know it doesn't seem like much so far, but I'm really proud of myself for sticking with it.

I started on the 4th, and I haven't missed a day yet!

Plus, I'm rollerblading for about an hour and a half every weekend (sometimes Saturday night, sometimes Sunday night) and I take a Modern Dance class on Monday nights from 7 to 8:30.

Yay me!

Plus I'm reading lots too. I'm working my way through a list of 1001 Books to Read Before You Die (but more on that in another post), and I'm re-reading this awesomely strange book called The Way of Wyrd.

Bye for now!

A little painting I started a while ago. It's just acrylic paints on canvas board, nothing fancy at all, but it makes me smile. I'm not sure why there's a screw outside in the middle of the night (with pink stars) but there is... so there! Let me know what you think, ok?
