So. Winter break is nearly over. It's been interesting. I'm off to college again soon, and I probably won't be back very often . That means I'm growing up! Hooray! It's kinda weird. But that's alright. Life is awkward in general.

In any case, I got almost nothing done considering my alloted free time. Taught my dad how to make hummus, though. 'Cause hummus is amazing. I also finished the concept for a large 20"x30" painting that I'm slowly planning out. I got the canvas and some tubes of acryllic for Christmas--and it'll be interesting. I've never done a work that large before. Hopefully it'll turn out pretty.

I miss weaving though, and I'll probably attack the looms back at school. I'm planning on using finer threads to make a 2.5yd stretch of 60" fabric. It'll be such a pain, but it'll be beautiful I tells ya!
