Inchie's 2011

My year started with inchies. Little one inch pieces of art. They were loads of fun most weeks, quite a challenge other weeks. Made me think of some abstract words in a new light.
Here are my last four inchies for the year. The challenges were all colors, blue,red, yellow,and green. Still deciding what to do with the inchies now that I'm done. And deciding if I will do 2012 inchies, I probably will since they were fun :)


when I was a kid I must have been a little bit of a hippie, I used to beg my mom to get a blue Christmas tree. As an adult I know why  she never would.





Here's the red one, not sure what I was doing, but It's finished




Yellow, couldn't get the pic to load right-side-up



So, this green inchie looked so nice when I finished, unfortunately, Grace's cat is a wild thing that stole it off the table while it was wet, I would say he smeared it, but I'm going to go with he "personalized" it



Christmas Break

Christmas is just a few days away!! Grace is finished with finals and the semester. Grades will be out soon. Good or bad I know Grace did her best, that's all I can ask for.
Thankfully there weren't any projects to work on, books or chapters to read over the break. Just relaxing and enjoying the holidays.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Still Here

I'm still here, just haven't posted in a while. Seems like a rough time of year for me to keep up. This is always a hard time for Grace, as the weather gets colder she seems to experience more pain. Sounds like arthritis to me, she doesn't see her next doctor ( muscle specialist) until January. This means she misses more school than her normal and she is frantically trying to play 'catch up'. Most classes aren't too difficult, especially since she doesn't have a math class. But there is chemistry, which seems to be 1/2 algebra.
As the semester comes to an end next week She is gearing up for finals. At her school, students can earn finals passes which allow them to skip finals in classes that accept the passes. She thinks the only class she will have to take a final in is, of course, chemistry. They also have benchmark tests in each class so it feels like 2 weeks of tests, tests, tests!!!
But Christmas is just around the corner, I love this time of year. The decorations, cooking, even the shopping isn't too bad. For some reason her school district isn't out of school until Dec. 22nd. Which isn't giving us much time before Christmas day. Should be nice for the 2 weeks after Christmas though.
I haven't forgotten my inchies either, I just need to sit down and finish them all.  Hopefully soon :)

 Merry Christmas!!!
