There was no snack yesterday. Did you notice? Probably not. I have been slightly lacking in inspiration. Maybe it's the after holiday lull, or the fact that I'm not a big winter fan so winter snacks seem no fun. Or that all I can think of for Valentine's Day is a heart, which isn't super original. So, I came home from work without an idea, without a plan, without a sketch, and at the point in the week where I start making the grocery list because stuff is getting low. I tried out a few different ideas, hoping to be randomly struck by inspiration when I walked through the door. I wasn't. And then I wasn't out to greet the bus either and almost missed getting Diva off the bus so I said forget it, and succumbed to her immediate request for chocolate, and maybe had some too.
Today I was determined to get back in the swing. I had an idea. I had a sketch. I got home and the book sitting on the table seemed like a much more inviting idea. The sketch will likely reappear next week (when I have better groceries). Today I give you...
