Choices, choices. And the need for a color course. A recent contest offers three color schemes from which I have to pick my favortite. I'm iffy on all results both drawn and colored. Is anyone else remembering bathrooms from the 80's?

It's hip to be square
We're taking back Sunday. Sunday is about creative family times and not about mopey-Monday-is-coming times. And our Sundays really are packed with goodness--heaps-o-goodness--even though we were told at a recent event, "you guys could be so cool if you didn't have a kid. We might even be friends and have a good time." Thus, we'll keep it to ourselves that a good time involves Adobe Illustrator, the food processor, peek-a-boo, and
guess-that-Czech-vegetable.
Today's puzzle? Is it a melon or pumpkin? We were relieved with the answer.

Getting ready
Inspired by Zentangle, we're plotting a card for a very special January birthday. A birthday for someone who often gets overlooked in the art department even though he's the most important person that should receive the art.
L. C. R. I.
The Linzer Cookie Research Institute continues its hard work. We thought we had a lot to do in the fall just with the neighborhood bakeries, but now that it is Christmas season the technicians are putting in overtime to keep up with the expanding selection at holiday markets. It's not just raspberry Linzers anymore. There's strawberry, and plum, and ginger, and ...
Whew. Good thing we have a lot of tea.
Tomorrow comes true
I hit the reset button today. Beautiful 10k snowy run, marzipan filled dates, conversation with witty Neighbor B about things unrelated to child rearing, a few stolen minutes perusing design blogs, and a hot shower. Okay. I'm ready for ya, Gus.

Chalk Art
To continue to feel artistically productive even when pureeing turnips, I made myself a blackboard-paint covered canvas (blackboard paint = wonderful). It hangs in the kitchen and gets doodled on every month. Goodness,
I love my chalk.
