Tuesday Trivia

Here's what's up...

Currently Reading:  Last Words by Michael Koryta, in preparation for the sequel Rise The Dark.

And The Dollhouse by Fiona Davis

Currently Watching: The Republic of Doyle on Netflix.  It is a dramedy with a charming cast of characters, set in St. John's Newfoundland.  Beautiful scenery, and it's great storytelling.  I will be sad to finish watching it.

Currently Listening to: the  Alexander Hamilton soundtrack, and Words & Music:  John Mellencamp's Greatest Hits.  

It's a mixed bag...but typical!

Artsy Friends

One of the things that I've come to appreciate most in the past year are the talents of my friends.  Sometimes their efforts just truly blow me away...an example:

These sketches and watercolors were a result of the Sketch Crawl we had in the historic area surrounding the library.  The artist is Ronda Haley, a multi-talented new friend.  In addition to her artistic talents, she's also musically inclined...she's been teaching a small group of wannabe dulcimer players.  I am among the wannabe's...and we're gearing up for a Christmas time performance at a holiday tea.  Ronda is also very crafty...she does paper beading and fabric beading.  Read more about her here, on Lynda Heines' blog BloomBakeCreate.

Lynda's gate sketch

Lynda is also a super-talented new friend. She features so many wonderful tutorials and demos on her blog. Here's a link to her article on our Sketch Crawl. There's always something new to learn at BloomBakeCreate!

New old music for the holidays...

I'm currently loving this CD. Nice background music...and it's Sting. What could be better?
