Bloggering
So I've obviously completely abandoned the idea of doing a 365 blog challenge on this blog made to be full of random lifeness. For 2 reasons. 1- often the things I want to write about are to mundane or I simply cannot think of anything and 2- when I do have something to say generally… Continue reading Bloggering
Clarinet Sketch
Rough Sketch of yesterday's photoclearly I spent most of my time on the clarinet itself- I need to redraw the speaker and the ribbon as well. This sketch is 6x8 inches; going to do a few more studies on the ribbon and speaker... then draw a 12x16 inch final drawing and then paint it :D~Nikkie
Clarinet Photo
I'm working on a new sketch- and took some photos for it tonight.I've neglected my poor little clarinet; I must find time to practice again; but for now- I'll draw it :D~Alicia

I am determined to make my… Continue reading Playing at the Park with a camera

One of the catch-up posts I did recently was about a favorite or important band. I talked about the Moody Blues. Since I've neglected today's post until just this very second I thought I'd share my absolute favorite Mood Blues song. Enjoy :D~Nikkie
Check in :)
I'm trying to get caught up- it is more difficult then I thought it would be since I've missed practically all of January. I'm trying to get into a grove where I make time to post every day- it's just hard- as I discovered last year. So for catching up I'm going through a generic… Continue reading Check in 🙂
Blurb about Photography… and my frustrations with my skillz.
After the past 3 days my dream house that I'm designing will now have a photo studio in it. Like my office will have an area dedicated in it for setting up photo shoots. It is just to frustrating to take good pictures in a home. Controlling the lighting is awful. I need to get… Continue reading Blurb about Photography… and my frustrations with my skillz.
Rocky Start
Honestly I'm little concerned about this 365 post thingy when I'm off to such a bad start. Deep Breath; ok- I'm going to make time for this!!I love writing so I don't have an excuse in that way. My biggest excuse is what I mentioned last time I wrote- I've been re-arranging furniture. Things are… Continue reading Rocky Start
