welcome, little one!

Presenting my brand new niece, Heron Selah! Look at that sleep smile.

P.S. I've tried to have designated journals over the years... one just for quotes that catch my eye while I'm reading, one just for lists, one just for painting experiments, another for private thoughts, another for ideas for paintings or projects, a prayer book, a poem book, etc, etc. But they ALWAYS cross over each other. I end up writing grocery lists in the corner of a journal page for "private thoughts".. ha!... or writing an art review in a sketchbook meant for painting ideas. It's a more accurate picture of my loose-bordered brain and life. Likewise, this blog is a smattering of family news, art happenings and thoughts about patterning in nature (again, etc, etc). I know that the majority of people that stop by here are not family, but I had to post that sweet little face!
