Doing the Next Thing

daughter, M (almost 13), took this photo on the way to school. it was a very gloomy, yucky day and then, all of a sudden - a rainbow and a patch of sunlight! the phone camera just doesn't do it justice! The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. - Psalm 19:1

my sweet hubby built me this table! i'm in LOVE! (with the table AND the man ;-)

terrarium we made for my brother-in-law's birthday. i love the way it turned out

Chocolate-dipped S'mores. I made these for youth group snacks and they were a big hit! (though it was kind of tedious, made a big mess i still haven't cleaned up, and didn't turn out AT ALL like what i pictured in my mind. but i think the teens felt loved, and that's all that matters.)

we took our Durer-inspired animal drawings and made "woodcuts" out of them (carved styrofoam plates and practiced making prints.)

a student's interpretation of me. much thinner and cuter than the original. ;)

another snapshot of art class: Nativity Triptych

owl sketch by one of my art students. we studied Albrecht Durer's animal drawings as inspiration.

Note from my sweet hubby. Found in my lunchbox one day at art class.

In a little over a month, she'll be a teenager. Every now and then I get a glimpse of that. It happened in a blink!
