I love these kinds of days.

Today was so bright and cheerful that I was drawn to my camera. It always happens--first in September or October, when the sky is a clear and vivid blue, and then in the early months of the year, usually February or March. Today was one of those days. 

It's crisp outside, but that's part of the charm. There is not a single cloud in sight and the sky seems to vibrate with color. I opened my window for a bit while I cleaned my room.

 

Of course, since school started back, we've had less time to watch TV (I'm sure it's not a bad thing). But when we do, I always feel like I need to do something with my hands. I decided I would try embroidery again. I found a huge selection of thread that Sara had found in her house and reorganized it by color... So far this is what I have done:

For Art Appreciation class, we spent some time working in Adobe Illustrator to design abstract pieces... We've finish two so far. I have to name them. I think I will call the first one "The Rise" but I am completely stumped on what to name the second one...

I sleep with an excessive (or so they tell me) amount of blankets.

Anyway, back to homework... :)
