There is a guy at work lately who's been making most beautifullest drawings in pencil crayon.  It seems that it takes much much patience and shading and delicacy - things I maybe sort of slightly don't possess.  I love crafts that you can, literally yank into shape, sewing and knitting, forcing yarn and fabric to do what you want it (or, alternately, lovingly helping it along).  But this year I found this artist: Yuka Yamaguchi - my poor dad thought that we were going for Group of 7 paintings or, really, anything he'd understand, but my sole purpose was to see the picture of the girl with the fish through her stomach.  One of her prints was hanging on my wall for quite a while - and will be again once I find a frame that doesn't cut off this beautiful little girl.  Poor dad still doesn't really get it.

Somewheres, though, there's a pad of paper and some pencil crayons with my name on 'em.

In other news, it's time, it's time for Christmas decorations to take over the WORLD (the same thing we do every year, Pinky).  In my continued love of all things tiny, I'm thinking...something wee.  Ideas will follow, I hope.

In my great rush to post about the small houses, I completely forgot to post about the littlest house in Toronto.  Which I adore, and which reminds me greatly of the tumbleweeds (talking with a guy at work, building one of those seems a possibility).  Oh how I do love home.
