On My Worktable – 1/19/15
Spent most of the day today working on this new dolly. I got to use my new pastels along with some paint to give her a face.

Before I set any goals, though, I always like to spend some time reflecting on the last year. This last year was probably the hardest yet for me personally, but a lot of good also happened this year: Continue reading “Happy New Year – Looking Back, Looking Forward”
