Monthly Report Cards: April 2015 GOALS

April!

You know what happens this month? Turtles start to come ouuuuuut and the weather gets warmer (though not so far).

Get Hiccup’s armour finished
It’s going pretty well, although, I did a stupid and messed up the paint job. Seal with glue before you paint, kids!

That is virtually all I really want to do… I tend to obsess over a project until I make an irreparable mistake or I finish. If I were to run out of things to do I might...

Practice gesture drawing

…or loose sketches under 2 minutes.

Practice drawing faces
My drawings are so cartoon-y and not always in a good way.

Check, I threw one together... looks okay-ish too. 

Finish this next draft of my story
:)

Spring Time

One thing I will definitely miss about Turkey (if we ever leave) is how pretty spring is. There are so many flowers! (Also fruit, but that’s not for another month *sigh*) I’ve been taking a lot of pictures of the buds, bugs and blooms and thought I’d share some of them. I’m not gloating I promise! I would actually trade places with anyone who currently has snow. ON TO THE PICTURES!!

Snow drops? I don't know...

Amsterdam 2015

This sign was behind the Rijksmuseum

I can’t believe that it was only two weeks ago that we were in Amsterdam. It feels like it was forever ago. I was shocked to discover last night that I hadn’t written a blog post about it, so here it goes.

We went to Holland because Dad had some work related meetings. Then oh lucky us, we got to come along, Mom, Sam, and I. We were only there for 4 days (from the 4^th to the 8^th) but we managed to 

see quite a bit.

Blooms on the trees the morning we left

View from my seat on the plane. 

The flight wasn't full so we were allowed to switch seats. 

An adorable car driving past our hotel

Canal and bikes (oh goodness there were a lot of bikes!)

Windmills at the Zaanse Schans

 Street performers performing in Dam Square,
This guy is busy spinning on his head.

Palace at Dam Square

 Fishing village we visited

Also I made a vlog while we were there. It's okay-ish

A Random Comic and the best tea commercial pretty much ever

Thanks to Johanna, I now like Boromir (thaaaaaaaank sister, you're the best) Short story shorter, I drew this comic for all us people who sorta wish he hadn't died.

Here's that link to the tea add.

Monthly Report Cards: March 2015 Goals

It's a great day, the sun is shining, the tank is clean.

THE TANK IS CLEAN.

But I digress.

I’m very pleased that it’s March, but at the same time, in the back of my mind I’m saying,
“Really?! MARCH? Didn’t we just get here, like a month ago?”

But that’s not to say that I’m not looking forward to this summer. I’m just trying not to get *too* excited yet :P

Okay on to goals for this month:

Write more than two blog posts
I was shocked to log in the 26^th of February to find that my latest post was goals for that month. I think I’m letting this whole blogging this slide just a little. I’m going to try to get back into the swing o’ things this month.

Work on my water colours
 I finally got some watercolour paper. Only trouble is, I’m not as good at it as I’d like to be.

Spend lots of time outside
It’s been cold. But now that it’s not I don’t really have an excuse (except that there is nothing to do outside :P )

Sew a cover for my dress form.

Not sure I’ve mentioned it, but I finally got a dress form made. I’d like to try my hand at making a cover for it.

Finish this next draft of my story
:D

That did not go well at all. On the bright side I did sew a skirt for my sewing class.

I did do this. It’s on Flickr.
