Late


After I finished the cake, I finished this for my mom. I used the black and white doodle on the invitations for her party, but just now got around to painting the quilt. I'm getting tired of faceless people. I like drawing grumpy people, grinning people, and long, hooked noses. These people don't have any noses.

I don't know... I kind of like the faceless people. It lets you put whatever expression you want to at the time on their face.

Very pretty drawing. The colors in the quilt just make you happy. :)

THIS is also a masterpiece! For some reason I'm very attracted to the thread that bears your initials...

Brilliant! Truly so! The blog is making feel inadequate with all of you gifted people.

Is there anything you can't do?!? This is truly beautiful. I love the bit of color to the black and white.

You are the most talented, inspiring lady I know-but, hey, you knew that already!

If only I'd added a long, hooked nose....

Liana,
Glad you appreciate the technical expertise that went into writing AO.

Rebecca,
I know you were speaking in jest, but for shame, laundry lady! You know better than to see a blog as an accurate representation of the whole of this beautiful, flawed life.

There are a zillion things that I'd like to do and can't, there are some things I can do and never get around to because of laziness, and there are far too many things I should do that I don't.

Hang Martha Stewart, cakes, and all. What I'd like to build are the inner pieces-- patience, love, strength. (And Martha probably needs to, as well...)

Oh, and Josh...

Whittler-poet, storyteller extraordinaire. Touche.

Abby - the picture as a whole is BEAUTIFUL, ... I know it not MUCH technical expertise went into the AO, BUT creativity DID.
I echo Rebecca...is there anything you CAN'T do?!
I'm merely jealous over here...

Abigail said...

Sorry, Liana! I was just teasing because I feel like this drawing was simplistic, and I'm insecure about most of the blank-faced doodles.

I reread my comment, and it sounded caustic! I wrote it with a self-effacing smile, and I hope you know I wasn't being sarcastic toward you.

Abby,
I love when I am one of the first to comment, and dislike when I am one of the last for two reasons..
1. Usually other's have said so eloquently what I wanted to say.
2. I'm afraid you might not read what I've written because it is so late :(

In any case, I just want to tell you how beautiful your cake and invitation you made are. You really are an artist! Someday you should take the plunge and try to start-up some home based business selling your artwork, it is so unique, that is what makes it so special!!! :)
