I think this is dead on correct. If bed sharing is simply not going to work for you, could you put your baby's crib right next to your bed? I needed to do that for a few months, and it still gets you quite a bit more sleep not having to get out of bed.

Multi-Purpose Room Addition
$0 raised
so far
Our donors help to uphold our mission of discovering, preserving, and sharing the story of Kandiyohi County and its people.
The Kandiyohi County Historical Society (KCHS) was incorporated in 1940 under its current name, but had existed as the Old Settlers Association since 1897. At first, membership was restricted to those who had settled within what is now Kandiyohi County prior to the U.S. Dakota Conflict of 1862, and their families. Today, anyone can become a member. This is particularly appropriate in our museum efforts to present the life and times of the history of Kandiyohi County which begins with the Indians and continues with the original settlers through the beginnings of the settled contemporary community life in the county. The Society's activities are managed by a board of directors, elected by the membership. Directors are all volunteers, assisted by a small professional staff. The twelve-member board of directors meets monthly to deal with policy and fiscal matters. A full-time executive director administers the operations and historical center. This small staff is supplemented by senior workers through the Experience Works program, student interns from Ridgewater College, and approximately 50 volunteers. Two- and three-dimensional collections, including source materials for research, are housed at KCHS. The entire collection consists of over 6,300 catalogued three-dimensional objects, including: furnishings, 400 items; personal artifacts, 1600; tools and equipment, 2000; distribution and transportation, 200; communication, 1200; recreation, 150; and other. Research collections include: about 275 linear feet archives; 15,000 photos; 2,000 volumes of books; audio-visual items and microfilm (1,000 reels); and 110 linear feet of the society's records, inventories and indexes. Most of the items date from the mid-1800s to contemporary. In addition, KCHS offers tours of the museum exhibits; the Sperry House, a turn-of-the-century restored Victorian home; District #18 country schoolhouse; an agriculture barn with farm equipment, tools and tractors; Great Northern Passenger Engine #2523; and the restored log cabin belonging to Guri Endreson, which is a site of the Dakota Conflict.

I love the red/hot pink color combination and the buckles on these slippers. I agree with other reviewers that these run wide--I have wide feet and these are even wider, so I wouldn't wear them to walk any farther than the mailbox. For just hanging out indoors, though, they are quite comfy and have great support.
these slippers are so supportive. i would rather have them on than go barefoot. i bought the red with magenta inside,so fun!.
I was so excited to receive these via mail though did have to return them.
Loved the cozy look of the wool and the deep purple! Loved the comfort and support
From the arch stabilization. However this style ran too wide for my foot and kept
Falling off as I walked. I have additional pairs of Orthoheels and will continue to shop for new styles that best meet the width of my foot.
I bought these because I wanted a shoe that had good arch support and provide proper body alignment. I've been very satisfied on both counts. These are good to wear when the weather gets cooler.
This shoe is very comfortable with the orthaheel recessed heal design and the wool. With a size 11.5 foot it looks clownish on me. Worst part is that the shoe does not stay on when you walk. I don't like to have to hold my shoes on.

" I love the Vionic Orthotic shoe line. They are very comfortable. I purchased the Vionic with Orthaheel Technology Amber in the coral color. I haven't worn them yet as it is still winter where I live, but I am looking forward to being able to wear them. I think the color is very pretty and will be a great neutral."

Wow! Love it! Those Halloween Skittles really did come in handy :-) Frog Princess looks like she's having the time of her life too (my guess is that she's eating more of the candy than she's actually putting on the house! LOL).
Glad you are feeling better. Was worried about you & I'm glad you went to the ER and feel better in time for Santa's big arrival this evening :-)

text: P.J. Griekspoor Archives Email Author Follow @P.J. Griekspoor Feeling Right at Home at Husker Harvest Days Kansas Viewpoint Heat, thunderstorms with high winds and pouring rain -- Nebraska is a lot like Kansas Published on: September 15, 2010 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print Greetings from Husker Harvest Days. Walking the show yesterday, it was fun to see how many Kansas farmers -- and Kansas businesses -- are a part of the show. SPF, a Leawood company specializing in fertilizer treatments is here and so is Ryan Hammes of Seneca, who is showing his AgSynergy dual placement feritlizer applications. Both have some brand new products that you'll be hearing more about in future editions of Kansas Farmer. And I don't know if it was just to make me feel at home, but nature went all out last night with a great big thunderstorm that brought high winds and rain and knocked down some awnings and scattered a few things about. The upside to that is today is supposed to be much cooler that yesterday, which is especially nice for making your way around the country's largest fully irrigated farm show. Which is what I am off to do now. Watch this space for more on what's here.

With Brad Hales and Robert Wells.
Mix local brews with local art at this weekly showcase of affordable pieces by Detroit area artists.
Established in 1975 as a haven for Vietnam Veterans, the Old Miami has been called "the C.B.G.B's of the midwest" for it's history as a music venue. Almost every notable artist from Detroit has played on it's stage as well as many national acts of the punk/modern rock era. The walls are lined thick with Vietnam and other military momentums, many of which were given to owner Danny Overstreet by fellow veterans. A jukebox full of vinyl from Patsy Kline to Gang Green sits next to the pool table. Comfortable couches and chairs are placed by the fireplace and in front of the dance floor creating a relaxed den-like atmosphere. Across the dance floor a wall of speakers almost obscures the stage. The sound system is unusually large for a room this size. The huge back yard with a pond and large porch/stage hosts many all-day outdoor events in the summer months. People from all walks of life call the Old Miami a home away from home. Bikers and bladers, lawyers and anarchists are its patrons who gravitate to this easy-going off-campus dive where live music rules.
Stepping into the newly restored art deco live jazz bar with an even more recently opened kitchen is to arrive in another era. Before the stage, the main area is separated into two spaces: One with round, candle-lit tables, the other, a stunning curved bar. All this sits below massive barrel-vaulted ceilings. All this ambience comes from pricey restoration work done in 2006 to make today's Cliff Bell's look like the Cliff Bell's of 1935. That and the way they mix a cocktail. Neither cheap nor fast, mixed drinks are crafted old-school, more for taste than ease of production. With everything from a standard fillet of beef tenderloin to cassoulet, the French-inspired eclectic food menu speaks for itself. Try the duck confit on a buttermilk biscuit with cranberry jam for a small plate reduction of Thanksgiving dinner. Hedonists will go for a chunk of tender braised pork belly (otherwise known as bacon when cured and smoked) that comes plated with a rich, spicy sweet cider sauce, roasted fingerling potatoes and a pinch of cracklings for good measure.
The Dirty Dog is another feather in the cap of Gretchen Valade, the entrepreneur and philanthropist whose generosity and love of jazz saved the Detroit International Jazz Festival. Chef Andre Neimanis' sophisticated tapas-style menu encompasses unusual dishes that showcase his creativity. Musically, the Dirty Dog has some of Detroit's best players, with piano sets from 4 to 6 p.m., followed by two evening shows with full bands. Willie Jones, the general manager, is visible in the front of the house, overseeing service and keeping the whole show running smoothly.
Kevin Saunderson. Richie Hawtin. John Acquaviva. Carl Cox. The Works has already established itself as a stable in Detroit's Electronic Music culture.
Anyone can show up here. Detroit's only late night jazz club serving up Cajun catfish and red beans and rice all night long. It's not common to find a bar where everyone seems to know each other and yet newcomers don't feel excluded. Dozens of regulars turn up Thursdays for the open mic jazz jam sessions. Bert's serves the music fans bargain-price soul food from rows of steam tables: meat and two sides for nine bucks, or up to $25 for a whole slab of ribs. In keeping with Bert's bare-bones, working-class atmosphere, their food is more down-home than much of the soul food you find in restaurants, which has often been upgraded from its humble origins.

The Great Exchangehttp://www.mariner.org/education/maritime_history.html#Anchor-MARITIM-633
When Columbus sighted land in 1492, he had no idea of the impact European plants, animals, and diseases would have on the native species of the Americas. In return, animals and foods from the New World changed life for those in the Old. Imagine a time without chocolate! That was one of the items traded between our worlds in the Great Exchange. Examine the different kinds of exchanges made and how they had an impact on the cultures and lives of the people during that tumultuous period. (Grades 3-12)

"What is a speaker? Is it an amalgamation of drivers, crossovers, and cabinetry that a manufacturer hopes will result in a product greater than the sum of its parts? Is it artistic woodcraft that happens to produce sound? Obelisk-esque furniture perhaps? To me, a speaker is the bridge between music and my ears. That's it.

Also, in school we're looking at space and the planets, and someone asked which planet would be the most likely to contain life, and the teacher said he didn't know and that we need to find out for him so I was wondering if anyone knew or guessed, because I think Mars is pretty promising but I don't know! Please reply! (All this is, of course, besides Earth) Plus I was watching the Stephen Hawking's Universe program on TV and I find that really interesting if anyone else does and is willing to reply about it (though I must admit I don't really understand much of it, but I still enjoy watching it and hearing people chat about it like it's all simple - discussions which I generally keep away from.)

Nu Sugary Taste
Monday, April 05, 2010
Suzy is kicking the aspartame --- AKA fake sugar -- habit this spring. No more Splenda or Sweet-n-Low in the kitchen.
We've replaced it with the natural sweetner NuStevia. The calorie-product is produced from the leaves of the stevia rebaudiana plant, a South American shrub. It's supposed to be hundreds of times stronger than table sugar so you don't need much of it to sprinkle in your morning cup of coffee.
Available online or at most green grocers.
Suzy's tip: You can find it pre-packaged so it's just as easy to use as those other products!

>General Running>How many half marathons are too much?
I usually run 2 spring half marathons (March & May), then a fall half. This year, so far, I'm going to attempt a 10-mile race in 2 weeks, then my usual March and May half marathons. However, I just learned there is a half at the end of February that is tempting. I prefer running in cold weather, and would love the opportunity to do a half at a time where it's less likely to be hit with high temps/humidity for a half. However, I don't want to over do it....most things I've read suggest 2 per season, 4 total per year, but not sure if that is just a general statement.
Some background on me. I'm a 40 year old woman (turning 41 in 2 weeks, yikes), I've been running consistently for about 10 years, including marathons in 2006 and 2011, and many half marathons and 5ks. I run about 25 mpw (closer to 30 when HM training) - yes, I know low mileage, but it's what works for me to keep injuries away and I've been able to achieve my half PR on that mileage, plus cross training. Here is a summary of my desired race schedule:
Jan 19 - 10 mile race
Feb 24 - half marathon
March 23 - half marathon
April - short race??
May 18 - half marathon
Thanks for any input and happy new running year!!
day after day sameness
Undoubtedly someone will come along and give you a specific number or formula....but I don't see how that can be. It's a completely personal thing based on how your recover, how much the next half on your schedule is a mental toll or motivation, your time, etc. There are folks here who run 1, 2 or more halfs per month, others who run a pattern like yours and everything in between.
You've got a full month between the Feb and Mar race dates, so I wouldn't expect you'd have trouble being recovered and ready with that schedule. Finding a 10K in April would be a great tempo prep for your May half.
I've done my best to live the right way; I get up every morning and go to work each day...
Fat butt on couch
A full month apart, it should not be a problem. At worst you lose some training time tapering for and recovering from them.
"If you want to be a bad a$s, then do what a bad a$s does. There's your pep talk for today. Go Run." -- Slo_Hand
Because that's more than 13.1.
Age: 45 Weight: 208 Height: 6'2" (Goal weight 195)
Current PR's: Mara 3:48:09; HM 1:43:26; 10K 44:51; 5K 21:27
I say go for it--a half marathon doesn't take nearly as much time to recover from as a full marathon would and there are plenty of people who do halves once a month. If you're at all worried, pick the one you like best and treat it as a race, and run the other one as a long training run.
Because that's more than 13.1.
--- I think the number of halfs in a year depends on the person. You have people across the spectrum doing all kinds of different numbers of races. I would say that the most general rule might be to have a month inbetween each one and you'll be fine :-) --But even I broke this rule a few months ago. I did the VA Beach RNR Half in September, expecting to get a PR, but the weather/humidity made it a really tough race. I did the Philly RNR half exactly 2 weeks later and got a PR, even only 2 weeks after that tough Virginia Beach race.
So I think in short, with a long running history like you have, your race schedule looks to be no problem. Doesn't seem as if you have overloaded it at all. :-)
The Plan (big parts)→ /// April: Hampton, VA 24 Hour Run for Cancer /// May: 3 Days at the Fair (12 Hour) /// Nov: New York Marathon (Staying at the Waldorf Astoria, its a "Bucket List" thing. Can someone loan me some Zamunda money to help pay for it?) ∞
Nobody can eat 50 eggs or run 14 half marathons in one year....that's crazy talk.
Will Crew for Beer
Ask Knifey how many HM's are too much. 58 races of 13.1 miles or more last year. Pretty awesome.
2014 Goal: Who the hell knows?
Oh boy....LOL!!!
Thanks, everyone for the replies!! I know people who have run several half marathons in one month and I have to stress about one per month for 2 months, not fair I'm not worried about the training time off, I'm willing to take a few days off after the race and then start right back up.
So I think in short, with a long running history like you have, your race schedule looks to be no problem. Doesn't seem as if you have overloaded it at all. :-)
registered pw
As long as you feel good, i would say go for it.
2013 goals:
sub 19 5k
sub 1:30 half
3:20 marathon on second try
If I could manage 42 in a lifetime I'd be pretty darn impressed.

Best Credit Cards for Your Holiday Shopping
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) It's time to talk about holiday helpers, and I don't mean the elves. I'm talking about trimming your spending, even as you trim that tree.
With Thanksgiving fast approaching, the flag is officially about to drop on holiday season. Pay no attention to the Santa already in front of the curtain. The holiday spending season officially begins once we've carved up our turkeys and regular season college football ends.
It's not cheap either. According to one survey, Americans plan to spend over $1,000 per household on the holidays this year . Almost a fifth of us might spend as much as $5,000, with hundreds more at restaurants. That's obviously a lot of money, so in between making your list and checking it twice, it's probably worth figuring out how to recapture some of that value.
Erik Larson, founder of the consumer reporting site NextAdvisor.com, recommends that consumers take advantage of credit card reward programs. A good idea under any circumstances, the points, cash back and miles can add up especially quickly when paired up with holiday spending. Of course, knowing that this is a good idea is the easy part. Figuring out which cards and how to use them takes a little more planning.
"You want to work backwards in a couple of ways," Larson said. "Know one, what you're going to spend the money on and two, what you're going to use the rewards for. So if you know you're going to take a vacation this year and you're going to use the rewards for travel, something like the Barclay Arrival card might make sense. But if you're not going to travel and you know you just want cash back, something like the American Express Blue is going to be great."
Planning does make perfect, and tailoring your credit card to your spending habits can help you take the most advantage of it. For example, Larson said, there's no use letting frequent flier miles build up for someone who never flies. Far better to get rewards points on a product you'll actually use, or maybe even straight cash back.
Larson also urges consumers to choose a card that matches their spending habits. As we've all seen with the various "3-2-1" commercials, credit cards offer various rewards for different purchases. An online shopper, for example, could get a lot more value out of Discover from its e-commerce rewards points than someone wandering the aisles of the Bass Pro Shop.
"You want to think about where you're going to be spending," Larson said. "For a lot of people these are their biggest spending months, November through December. You want to think about where you're going to be spending and if you do that you can probably find a card that's going to give you as much as three to five percent cash back."

Mets manager Terry Collins names Collin Cowgill starting centerfielder
The New York Mets cloudy outfield situation became much clearer on Saturday afternoon, when manager Terry Collins named Collin Cowgill the team's starting centerfielder.
Though Collins was expected to opt for a platoon in center — if not the corner spots, as well — Cowgill won the job outright with a strong spring in which he batted .303. The 26-year-old was acquired in a December trade that sent minor leaguer Jefry Marte to the Oakland Athletics.
Cowgill has started just 49 games in two major-league seasons for the Diamondbacks and A's. He owns a .255 career average with two home runs and a .631 OPS.
The team was not comfortable with playing 25-year-old Jordany Valdespin — a left-handed hitter who was expected to platoon with the right-handed-hitting Cowgill — full-time because of his defense, according to ESPN.com's Adam Rubin.
"One of the things we've got to make sure we do, that's cover ourselves defensively," Collins said. "Be it center field, be it late for Lucas, or whatever it might be, he's the best outfielder we've got, in my opinion. Defensively he can really play center field. So we thought we could take him. Hopefully if he starts swinging, like he did last year, I'm sure he's going to get a lot of playing time. But he does give us a lot of security."
Lucas Duda and Marlon Byrd will start in left and right field, respectively, in an outfield that has been been the butt of offseason jokes — even by Mets GM Sandy Alderson.

State House Bureau
AUGUSTA — A bill that would permanently prohibit the public release of information about individual concealed-weapons permit holders in Maine was endorsed Wednesday by a legislative panel.
The Legislature's Judiciary Committee voted 10-3 for an amended version of the measure, which would prohibit the release of names, addresses and dates of birth of permit holders. Five of eight Democrats sided with five Republicans to endorse L.D. 345, sponsored by Rep. Corey Wilson, R-Augusta.
As amended by Sen. Linda Valentino, D-Saco, the bill would permit the release of statistical information, such as the numbers of applications and permits issued, revoked or suspended. The gender, towns of residence and age ranges of permit-holders would also be public.
The bill directs Maine State Police to develop a plan for making the statistical information available and to present the plan to legislators by January 2014.
Wilson's bill now goes to the House, where majority Democrats will likely divide their votes again.
"I think it's a reasonable compromise," Wilson said after the vote. "Even though it protects law-abiding citizens, it still allows for some data to be disseminated, which in some ways makes it less restrictive than current law allows."
But public-access advocates said the vote was a mistake.
"Unfortunately, passion won out over principle," said Shenna Bellows, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine. "Today's decision does not reflect what most Mainers believe."
Concealed weapons permit information had been part of the public record for more than 30 years until lawmakers passed an emergency measure in February that prohibits public release of the data until April 30.
The temporary ban, imposed to give the Legislature time to take up Wilson's bill, was prompted by Freedom of Access requests for permit information to Maine State Police from the Bangor Daily News and an unidentified party.
The requests triggered an uproar among gun rights advocates, mobilized largely by the Sportsman's Alliance of Maine. In the ensuing days, Gov. Paul LePage endorsed removing the information from the public record, using a Twitter post with a photo in which he brandished his own concealed weapons permit for the camera.
About 40,000 permits are believed to be active in Maine. They are issued by state or local police and, in some cases, municipal officials.
Valentino said she initially didn't think she could support the bill but was swayed by public testimony, which ran overwhelmingly in favor of the measure at a committee hearing last month.
"I listened," she said.
Other Democrats who endorsed the bill Wednesday were Sen. John Tuttle of Sanford and Reps. Lisa Villa of Harrison, Stephen Moriarty of Cumberland and Jennifer DeChant of Bath.
The Democratic opponents were Reps. Matthew Moonen of Portland, Kimberly Monaghan-Derrig of Cape Elizabeth and Charles Priest of Brunswick.
The Bangor newspaper's request for permit data echoed a December decision by The Journal News, a suburban New York City newspaper that published an interactive map of permit-holders in its area.
The map was published soon after the shootings that month at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., that killed 26 students and educators.
Critics of permit information disclosure argued that publishing the information would make permit holders vulnerable to criminals intent on stealing guns or harming gun owners. But public-access advocates said there was little evidence suggesting that would occur, and that keeping names of permit-holders secret would make it harder to tell whether police or other public officials are screening permit applications effectively.

To be physically fit you do not have to exercise intensely for long periods of time. Experts agree that physical activity does not have to be vigorous, and recommend at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity daily, or on most days of the week.
To achieve and maintain physical and cardiovascular fitness, health professionals advise following a balanced fitness program - a program that includes the following:
Experts now recommend participating in two types of physical activity each week to ensure aerobic health and muscle strengthening. Muscle strengthening activities include lifting weights, using resistance bands, yoga, or Pilates. Such exercises should be performed twice a week and include the major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, chest, arms, shoulders, and abdomen).

Thanks for your report Kosty. I am keeping my eye on this player. I am helping my neighbor (home theater newbie) build out and configure a dedicated home theater room in his basement and he is looking to buy his first BD player. I was leaning towards recommending either a PS3 or Sony S550, but this player might be a contender as well.

Finished Harry Potter and the Ghostly Hallows tonight.
I gorged on it like a cop at a donut shop with free kinklings.
I was terrified someone would spill the beans, and I'd find out who died at the end before I actually got there. I've been avoiding the news, the internet write-ups, any blogs where Potter, Rowling, or He-who-must-not-be-named was mentioned.
So no review, other than to say if you liked 1-6, you'll enjoy 7 as well.
And it won't be me who spoils it for you.

During a biopsy, a doctor removes a sample of tissue or fluid from the body. A pathologist inspects the cells under a microscope to see if they are cancerous. If the cells are found to be cancerous, a biopsy can help determine whether the cancer began at the site of the biopsy, or if it started somewhere else in the body and spread to the biopsy site.
Some biopsies are performed under image guidance, such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This allows your doctor to collect cells from deeper inside the body. Depending on the type of biopsy performed, you will receive an anesthetic to minimize any pain.

life drawings and studies are looking great, a huge amount of them too, keep at it
huge thanks for the comments, i'll reply back to them on the next post.
so, my computers bust. again.
I'm currently in the town library, using a computer running a crappy old version of IE that won't work on half the websites i need (including my email inbox.) my boyfriend is working on fixing the computer, but tbh i think my poor old Fossil is just giving out the death rattle - it's breaking more and more often lately. even if he does fix it, there's a large chance i'ma have to have my hard drive wiped and lose all my files.
that said, it looks like i'm not going to be around here much. i actually have loads of stuff to scan (funny how my computer goes when i finally have tons of free time), so i'm using this as an opportunity to focus on my traditional painting/drawing skills and do tons of life drawing.
if i'm honest, the thing that's crippling me most is being unable to get references for personal work - or studies, either - without coming out to the library, which charges 10p for a black and white copy, doesn't do colour and doesnt have a slot for the sd card from my digital camera.
But meh, obstacles... i'll overcome. i'll cope. (:
so, TL;DR - with a bit of luck i might be back uploading on here soon... if not, see you in a few months when i can scrape enough money together for a new computer. and sorry for the image-free post.
be back asap - keep killing it! ;D
@Smuli: yeah, the kids painting took aages x) speed's not a strong point... and neithers applying studies, that's something i always skimp on :/ thanks for the heads up, i'll try and keep that in mind
@beeston: thankyou! haha, me too - i'm far too selfish, i dont post in other peoples sb enough. x) i need to do something about that...
@invinciblewombat: thankyou
so, computers fixed again not sure how long for though... i really need a new one, i think my old fossil's worn out tbh, she's been reliable for years now... but she's lovely and functional for the moment
btw, this post is huge. sorry about that (trust me, it was a bitch to scan and edit... the reason why this wasnt uploaded last week). not uploaded in a while, so things kinda... built up.
Sketchbook pages...
and a finished piece - this is the first time i've actually thought properly about different coloured light sources giving different shadow tones, and colour temperature and all that. i think it really helped, looking forward to building more on that :B lots and lots wrong with it, but it's a start.
been trying to learn acrylics while i havent had photoshop... been failing, but i think im beginning to grasp it... only just begininning. enviro from photoref, rest from life.
pencil craps, face and expression studies:
daily anatomy studies... i will understand legs, damnit!!
some are also from imaginefx's anatomy special, which i totally recommend, even though it's thin (obvs, it's a magazine, not a book) it's packed full of useful and easily-understood stuff. (:
GURL, you've been kicking your ass, that is an amazing amount of drawing/studies there XD Your going to be an anatomy master if you keep that amount of anatomy studying up XD!!! I like them :> Apply what your learning to memory exercises and see how much you retain. Also, nice to see you work with acrylic, the penguins are my favorite, I feel like you really captured the form of the blue one. You already have a good understanding of values, paint really big and mix a lot of paint. At art supply stores, look out for materson's sta-wet paint palate, it will keep your paints wet so you can mix large amounts and go ape shit 8D I can also recommend some good books for painting as I need to get some myself >:00!! KEEP PAINTING BORING STILL LIVES. I WISH WE COULD PAINT TOGETHER >:0!!!!
viki oh: haha, thank you for that comment!! x) yeahh, a major block i have with painting is that i'm too conservative and worried about wasting paint, so i think painting big is a great idea - plus it sounds fun thanks for the recommendations too, i'm always open to book suggestions - although, penniless atm x) i've been wanting to buy James Gurneys painting books for a while now... :/
some stuff from the past few days, along with one or two things i forgot to post last time.
quick doodle/practice - got part one of whit brancha's environments download last night, and although i havent watched it yet, i wanted to play with his brushes used ref, but loosely - changed the composition and tried to emulate the colours/shapes.
still lives - acrylic and digital
anatomy - the ones in just red with no pencil lines are quick memory ones
sketchbook pages
just dropping these quickly, since i need to go to work like, now, but i wont get another chance to upload probably till tuesday - busy weekend.
anatomy, unfinished acrylic (all of these are unfinished, since i do them before work), sketchbook page (the last one of my a5 one - onto a big a4 one i got for valentines day! :L) and some work on the latest teen challenge.
Great updates and awesome anatomy studies! Keep them coming!
@satupeikko: thank you!
sorry ive been absent, and that ive so little to post for it - college is finished for everyone in england now, and i seem to be spending a lot of time catching up with friends and with my boyfriend - not time i'm regretting, but i really need to learn to knuckle down and not waste what little free time i have by getting distracted. and on top of that, lots of overtime at work...
so, updates are still going to be a little slow for at least the next week, possibly a few.. im'a try to counter that though. for now, have some anatomy, a crappy unfinished photostudy, and my current progress on the teen challenge piece.
Crazy load of new studies! And they look great too, anatomy ones look so solid and I really like the glasses and the acrylic sketches!
@smuli: thankyou!
life's more or less back to normal now, should mean more consistent updates.
finished teen challenge, learnt tons on this i think, not that happy with it visually though
anatomy - moved onto hands now, trying Matt Kohr's suggestion of drawing 100 of whatever your weakness is.
the first page in a beautiful a4 bound sketchbook i got for valentines too big to scan though - the whole thing will have to be photos.
and a crappy fan-art doodle i did today to unwind and do art just for the sake of it today. really dont like her face
here's an oil painting i've been working on for the past few weeks; when i (eventually!) get it done, it'll be the first full-colour oil painting i've done. ton of mistakes already, but at least i know the one after this will be better because of them
crappy photo, i'm sorry. also, really seem to be kicking out all these underwater pics atm, huh? x) need to kick that habit soon...
studies, more hands - anatomy/ref/imagination, and it's very obvious which is which...
some studies from life - i was told to do tons of drawing from life for my art course in september, but i've really not done that much, so for the whole of august i'm attempting a drawing from life every day... this week i'm focusing on dry media (pencil, pen, charcoal), next week colour dry media (colour pencils, pastels, oil pastels), week three, ink and watercolour, week four acrylic and oil. lets see how it goes
some pencil still lives, and charcoal drawings of the mother and a sp
Awesome sketchbook! I love the painting!

@Bunrt-ice thankyouu
tiredd... i seem to have lost momentum lately so lazy... it seems im either too busy or too distracted lately. gotta kick that in the fork, and soon!
a digi-doodle i spent most of today on... his legs are waaaay too long. wanted to experiment with colour, and illustrate the feeling of cuddling up to someone warm when you're freezing...
daily life studies - pen, pencil +charcoal
hands...hogarth, photoref and imagination
been a bit out of it this week.. :/ discovered my motivation is very tied into my mental state, and if there's something playing on my mind, even if i try and pretend there isn't it shows in my art.
starting to feel like kicking my own ass again though now! i think i'ma take it easy for the rest of the week, not force myself to art but draw when i want, do studies if i really feel like it... it's pretty busy anyways, so i wouldnt get much done as it is. then next week starting monday i can jump right back into it - especially since i have a week off work and the boyfriend is away for the whole week, so i can see myself having a lot of free time xD
a crappy screencap i cropped cause i couldn't bring myself to finish; values are alll messed up, and its rather off proportions-wise since i didnt draw it out first. still, i used defiled_vision's idea of actually analysing a study, making notes as you do it and i feel it helped oh-so-much, i learnt so much about colour relativity like all the shades in this are just different shades of blue, even the parts that look warmer and even flesh coloured are just less saturated blues in reality.
some hand studies - ref, hogarth, imagination
crappy sb page of vent art, with a dragon.
You have sheer iron like dedication to improvement, I've enjoyed flipping through your first pages just to get the idea of how much you've gone through.
I've subscribed for the sheer pleasure of basking in your light, we'll see you in the future!
Cheers and Macaroni !
@Kerah: i wouldn't say iron-like... i wish, but this past week is proof otherwise x) but, thankyou very much!
so, kinda fell off the wagon this last week - whole bunch of reasons, not gonna get into. but i will say, since i started taking my art seriously, i've always unconsciously viewed taking a break from it as sort of a weakness - a sign i wasn't dedicated enough to make it. this week, however, the state of mind i was constantly in, i decided i had no choice, and that from wednesday for the rest of the week, i'd take it easy - sure, make art if i felt like it, but just relax and not constantly be either forcing myself to study or be feeling guilty for not studying.
i discovered my motivation came back in waves. i found that i still noticed the way shadows fell, or light hit an object, or how good a movies concepts and lighting was - regardless of the fact i wasn't trying to stay focused on art. i found that i still ended up drawing and painting - not as much at first, but as my enjoyment came back, more- and that i was also learning tons just doing little sketches from imagination. and before the days i'd alotted myself were up, i was itching to get started again.
so yeah, with any luck, im back. B) made a few changes to the way i work too, ill go into those on another post, already rambled enough.
on with the art!
greyscale screencap, since after watching just part 1 of brad rigneys download which i got in the sale, i realised how much i needed to work on my values. daaaymn that guy can paint.
i also did a quick doodle afterwards to apply what id learnt, but it was ohsocrappy. felt like i learnt a ton though - made notes as i did it again, analysing it, its mindblowing how much that helps you realise and retain the knowledge.
more hands - hogarth, ref, imagination
the sketch of a piece ive had all thumbnailed out and ready to do for ages now - finally getting started.
so, tomorrow's results day at college.. :/ then afterwards i'm going to an all-night party - but with any luck, i can get enough sleep/come home early enough friday to get quite a bit of painting time in before the boyfriend comes home saturday night/sunday morning. this week off work has been busier than expected x)
damn... need to get back to regular studies.
work so far on this weeks teen challenge - first time doing an environment that isnt a study turns out they're pretty darn fun...
colour thumbs - going with the bottom right, i think
and the daily hands study
finished teen challenge - not too happy, i think i fucked it up when i started to put in the little details cause they just didn't integrate at all, i really need to figure out where i'm going wrong there
study from life
more handssss
should be uploading some wips/sketchbook pages soon.
okay, looks like another hiatus... computer is well and truly FUBAR'd. :/
R.I.P, fossil...
incredibly motivated despite this, really enjoying diving into traditional media... getting more done without the internet as a distraction too. just wish i hadn't lost all my files... especially my music/podcasts. i've had to nab the radio from downstairs so i dont paint in silence. i was getting a pretty nice reference library up too...
ahh well, que sera and all that
see you when i can (eventually) afford a replacement... keep arting!
Pencils are so awesome find a way to post! Interested to see how things are going

Hey jessi - i notice youve been hammering the Anatomy, and i do mean hammering it lol. Its looking so much more natural aswell than the last time i stopped by. i see a couple of different refference books aswell. i have done a couple of studies from that ImagineFX book aswell - your stuffs looking a lot smoother though . keep on rockin.
"Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" - Michael Jackson
@samC: damn, thankyou! means alot from you, man and believe me, i'm trying.
@dog-faced: yeah, i was - anatomy's hard xD it's gonna take a helluva lot more hammering before i even start to feel comfortable with it. thanks
so, thought id post to prove i wasn't dead, just extended absence is becoming very extended.
i'm well on the way to getting a new machine, only just over £100 to go before i can afford it.
but, atm i'm finding it hard to find any time to do personal art or studies, between college, college work, work at my job, and trying desperately to squeeze in time with the boyfriend (and often, sadly, failing. :/)
to give some idea, i spend 18 hours a week at college. they also say that i should spend the exact same amount of hours at home working on college work just to keep up (and they're not wrong. falling behind is scarily easy).
they also say that we shouldn't work more than 10 hours at any part time job outside of college... last week alone, i worked 32.
but i'm taking any hours i can in order to pay for the new computer. any spare hours i have between work, college and the boy is spent scrabbling to catch up with my college course.
despite meeting some pretty awesome people on this course, i cant wait to finish college next summer and get back to studying and arting and actually learning.
but until then, im afraid things are going to stay awfully quiet on here.
finally got my laptop t'is a beaut. i'm so busy at the moment im finding it hard to find time to art outside of crappy college work at all, never mind upload it to CA, so updates are gonna be sporadic at best until i'm finished with college. (187 days and counting! i'm not desperate to leave at all... -.-)
some sketchbook pages from the last few months, some from life, some not
sorry for the crappy camera quality.
i've been trying to manage my time to fit some studies in, and lately ive been able to get half an hour in the morning, most days. here are the finished ones so far:
also, while i was gone, i turned 18 and got my first tattoo! lookee there! x)
see you guys soon, hopefully. 187 days!
The lines on the life drawings (I think) of the dude lying down are awesome, more like that

okay, due to some personal crap, ive managed to get a bit of routine going where i can get about 1-2 hours on my own art, on some days. gonna start uploading regular here again, aiming for a weekly schedule, probably sundays. missed this place. :')
stuff from this year more or less:
shoes i just finished painting:
finished digi paint
two screencaps for colour/lighting study, one digi and the other acrylic (crappy scan, sorry.) digital took under an hour, acrylic took much longer (and looks worse!)
hope everyone had a good festive season!!
nothing all that interesting this week.
an oil painting s/p for class; very crappy phone photo, sorry.
some gun studies for the next piece; first is reffed, second is doodles done from imagination (at work, hence the letter head.)
and some sketchbook pages. apologies for the lack of quality control in my sketchbook - i basically just use it as a place to unwind and draw whatever without caring, play around with ideas and media, and doodle.
tired and turps-y.
this weeks offering...
some sketchbooking, pretty tattoo-related since im going for an apprenticeship that's just opened up nearby. awesome opportunity, really nice studio, i had my tattoo done there wish me luck!
wip sketch for the next piece - gonna attack this baby with acrylics soon!
aaand the obligatory school work. more oils, the bottom one is unfinished. this is the furthest ive pushed oils (never done realistic skin tones before) so it's really motivating that i can see an obvious improvement just between the first and the last. im fast falling in love with oil paint.
Awesome stuff
Lovely composition :3
For the last post, I think the eye socket of the skill is a bit too small Perhaps go google for some Skulls for reference next time
Good luck!
@Izene: thank you! yeah, i confess to being a bit lazy on references with those, haha. a habit i really need to kick.
So, missed the last two sundays... :/ laptop got a virus and i lost all my programs/music/pictures... straight-up everything. there were other reasons, but hey, no more excuses! computers fixed, once again... gonna soldier on!
some college work... first is pen, rest is oils, with some collaging of different stuff. not happy with most of it, just glad im starting to get a handle on oil paint (i love it!!)
some (pretty shitty) sketchbook pages. sorry for the phone-camera quality. only one i like is the tentacle one in pen, gonna take that into ps and paint it up i think.
i have more stuff lying around but it'll take me too long to upload, im already too tired and i want some arting time before bed so, till next sunday!
good studies

We Found a Cousin's Postcard in an Antique Store
As we browsed in an antique store this afternoon I found these two postcards for sale for $1.00 each. They caught my eye because the notable John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley of Mayflower fame were my husband's 10th great grandparents. As you can see the postcard at the top was addressed to May Howland. Through my research when we got home, I learned that she is the same person as Miss Sophia M. Howland, recipient of the postcard above. She was born 9 June 1886. The message on the postcard directly above says "Greetings from the Pilgrim John Howland Society and best wishes for a Happy Birthday June ninth". Signed by William Howland, President. By printing up a quick relationship chart in my RootsMagic database, I was able to see that this Sophia May Howland was a seventh cousin four times removed of my husband, Larry Jamison. John and Elizabeth Tilley Howland were May's 6th great grandparents and my husband's 10th great grandparents.
Having these two postcards in our possession is well worth the two dollars!

Pope John Paul II had a great devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and as such faithfully wore a scapular (notice him wearing his scapular in the above photo). He is reported to have worn a brown scapular since he was a boy, and he insisted that doctors not remove it during surgery following the assassination attempt on his life in May of 1981.
The Sacrament of Confirmation is a sacrament of anointing by the Holy Spirit. The bishop or priest prays for those being confirmed to receive the Holy Spirit and his 7 gifts. What are these 7 gifts and what do they mean?
The Lenten season is filled with reminders to forgive. And, as difficult as it can be to forgive others, it can be just as hard to ask forgiveness for ourselves. This litany is a great exercise in asking for forgiveness, especially from God. It can be prayed in addition to an examination of conscience, during family prayer or before going to Confession.
