i'm not too sure about what my mother was trying to say here, but judging by the look on her face it was something about scared violin players.

silent night, holy night

i'm sorry for the silence right now, all the family christmas thing is taking a lot of my time. speaking about family, one of these days i'll probably post a massive load of family pictures no one but my family will care about (believe me, the aesthetic level of them is surprisingly low. it's hard to take good pictures, engage in conversations and eat chips all at once)

i will post them here since it's easier than e-mailing everyone. pure laziness.

merry (late) christmas everyone!

christmas

since no one in my family cares enough to read this blog (boo hoo, just kidding, they don't know about it) i will be able to post some of the christmas presents i make them:

wendy the bird, for my stepsister: i found the pattern here.

i found a pattern for an owl on the same site, which ended up like this, for my mother:


the stitching on the seams is still a bit wonky, but i like how he turned out in the end. then i made my stepsister a bracelet (out of an old shirtcuff, decorated with some leftover fabric):


don't mind the writing on my hand, it was a reminder so i wouldn't forget i had to go teaching.

that's all for now, i have to make four more presents for the rest of my family... busy days coming!

a little something

there's a lack of drawings on this weblog lately, due to all the work i had to finish for school... when i have the money to get it copied on a better size, there's a short comic coming up, based on the song 'karma police' by radiohead. until then, here's a small drawing i did a few months ago. it's based on a picture of zach condon, also known as beirut:
