This is a drawing I recently did in my sketchbook. I think it works for this week's IF topic.

I also re-finished this dresser while I was on days off. I wish I had remembered to take a 'before' shot. You'll just have to trust me that it looks a thousand times better. I love all the imperfections.

summer vacation 08

The boy and I went back to Saskatchewan to see my family during our days off at the beginning of August. I really love going home. I love how perfectly flat it is out there. Most people not from Saskatchewan hate the lack of mountains or hills, but I adore it.






I took Dario to see an old train station near my home town. I did a painting of it a few years that hangs in our home.



My nerdy husband...



On our way back to Calgary, we visited the dinosaur museum in Drumheller. I really liked the fossils - they looked like delicate pieces of art.


It was a pretty laid back vacation - which was exactly what we needed. Sometimes it's just nice to get away from the city for a little while.
