Our baby comes home!

We got the car delivered, we’d bought it in Portland, OR. Now it’s ours to drive!

Dare I say it? Spring is here!

Block printing with stamps

swirls

building blocks

alphabets

I’ve been playing with printing my rubber stamps. This is a photo of the stamps to give you an idea of scale. I’m using water based block printing ink. I like the rustic results, it is a fun process.

postcards from Oregon

If you notice a really bad job painting these postcards, it is because they were painted while riding in the back of a car. This car, to be exact. A 1948 Ford. What fun!

Off to Oregon

and home again!I got to hang out with Aunt Carol.

There was a beautiful rainbow over their valley!

We met the local piggies, Diesel and Oinker.

We got a visit from some wild turkeys. It was a wonderful visit with Mark’s family, Oregon is a beautiful place.

is that they just jumble in my head!I never got good at multiplication, I never really learned that evil times table. I suppose there’s not the demand to learn the times table like there was when I was in school. There was a large poster of the that table grid in the front of our classroom, and I dreaded when the nun would roll up that poster then start picking students and demanding the answer to seven times eight. The thought of it can still upset my stomach. Images and colors make me happy, numbers serve to confuse.
