Watercolor paintings

I really do have a thing for hearts. I finally finished this little piece. Someday soon Im going to have to get these small paintings up in my shop. What have you been doing?

CNN grieves that guilty verdict ruined 'promising' lives of Steubenville...

did you see this? he raped someone. it doesnt matter if people were drunk or on drugs. he raped another human being because he thought it was okay. what if that was your daughter?

Chocolate Cake

 Sometimes you bake without thinking

 What? You dont ever do this yourself?

 So the pan I used was too big for the recipe but now I know what to do next time

 Its heavenly chocolate cake from Smitten Kitchen. It still turned out delicious. My pan was too large so my cake was a little bit too thin.

You know when I am having telephone conversations I find myself saying things like cake is really important to me. Yeah I wanna be the girl with the most cake. This mouth eats a lot of cake. Its true. You should be here. I have coffee and espresso as well. Also yippee for the time change. That is all. :)

Cobalt Violet

So I needed more paint and sometimes these little old tubes I have get dried up a bit. So I gutted it like a fish. I love this color. I could get lost in it. Oh yeah working on some little drawings and paintings too.

Lemons

So this year no one hijacked my lemons. It was imperative to make more delicious treats with them. I had never made lemon bars before. OH MY GOODNESS! Such lemony  goodness. It makes me think of the lemony snicket.

And with that its time to make stuff happen. Right?
oh here is the recipe if you want it here. Go ahead make it.

Blue

I just want to know when winter is going to be over. It has been really hard emotionally and I am ready for a change. Ready for sunshine and spring smiles. Oh I know I have it easy here in Southern California. I know. How are you all doing? I am still here. Trying to be better and trying to work on more art and cooking. Sometimes the blues last for quite a while. I am ready for this cycle to be over.
