(I was thinking this morning about how fun it would be to learn how to fence, thus the picture.)
I haven't blogged in two weeks, though I'm not sure why. In fact, I really don't know what is going to end up here right now, so be afraid! I'm kinda just going with what's on my mind:
For Christmas I got from my parents 14 new art books! (That is probably why I haven't been posting) Two of them are about the Pre-Raphaelites, one about art nouveau, and one about William Morris, the others are about great masters or art in general or famous portraits. So today I have been soaking it all in while listening to Kevin Max's Christmas album,
Holy Night, another Christmas gift. (That's right Eriol KEVIN MAX!)
I just looked over to the end of my bed and spied another perfect gift. They bought me 6 yards of the most beautiful fabric ever! It has deep plum purple velvet sections, iridescent lavender sheer sections,and shimmering paisley sections, all pieced together with a wonderful gold-trimmed purple ribbon. My mind is whirling with thoughts of what to do with it, but until I decide I'll have to be content with draping it about my shoulders and parading through the house (my family is used to this by now).
O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise,
even with my glory. Awake, psaltery and harp: I
myself will awake early. I will praise thee, O Lord, among the
people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth
reacheth unto the clouds.
Pslam 108:1-4
