New Month, New Start

This is one of the last trees with leaves left in my yard. The bare bone landscape of November is setting the stage for winter. I have to admit that "digging in" for the winter has a certain appeal.

Maybe I'll get my sketchbook finished or start a painting.

Eva's acting bug has kept me busy but my reading addiction also has gotten out of hand.

I don't watch TV often.

While working on costumes and a back drop for the play my mini art studio got trashed.

I have not wanted to face it so I put my face in a book.

So, here is my mess...hope to shame myself to clean it up and get back to work.

The picture is just the tip of the mess, you should see the floor!

( or as my husband says,"what floor?")

For anyone who is an Inkheart fan, Cornelia Funke has a new book, Reckless. There will most likely be a second book, there were questions unanswered.

This next book is about the world running out of oil. It's for teenager and lightly covers a large range of topics. I think it was well done without preaching.

This last book I picked up because it was Halloween.

It had an interesting storyline but there was a bad romance novel mixed up in the story.

I read about ten other books over the last two months, I'll spare you the titles.

I need to loose my library card for a few weeks.

Tonight I clean my studio!

( My husband offered to help, YIKES!)
