A rare photo of something other than food

Was at The Royal Opera this evening to watch The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. There were moments when I didn't have a clue what was going on --- should have done some reading beforehand! --- but they danced beautifully, the music was lovely and I enjoyed myself nevertheless.

Not-so-grand unveiling

Presenting the results of drawing time with The Little Niece:

Oh, I almost forgot!

Happy Easter!

Here's what egg painting with The Big Niece on the 13th --- oh, that seems so long ago --- yielded. The SIL bought her an Easter egg craft kit and told her that she could share it with Faster, The Big Niece then declared "It's for us and me, Faster!" Way to assert ownership! :)

First attempt

The Big Niece and I just completed our first gingerbread house.

The gingerbread pieces came in a kit and you were supposed to stick them together using melted sugar. The sugar melting part didn't go so well, so the icing had to do double duty.

If you're wondering which parts I worked on and which parts the niece did, you will just have to keep wondering.

Sorta paying it forward

Ended up with two copies of the same magazine because I bought one without realizing that The Brother had extended my subscription while I was away.

Left the extra copy on one of the benches at a train station today.

Done voting

Am I not the most responsible citizen you ever did see? :p

My masterpiece(?)

I obviously shouldn't quit my non-existent day job.

Blank canvas

Dudie Mia sent me mini canvases and a mini easel eons ago (2008?) and I finally bought acrylic paints in January.

This particular color palette is dubbed Spring. They also have one called Chabby Chic. How's that for alliteration? Chabby chic...Chubby chic? Chubby cheek? :p I snapped a photo at the store, but it disappeared because the memory card has been acting up. :(
