Ridiculous Elssa

My sister's dog is ridiculous.

Today I walked into the computer room to find ...

poochie chillin' on the desk chair.

Hmmmmm.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Last week we went to see The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I loved it! Of course, there were a few things I would've done differently, but it's like that with pretty much any movie. Over all it was really great!! I just got so ridiculously happy at the beginning, when Lucy and Edmund got back into Narnia and saw Caspian again. *Happy sigh* I do so love Narnia!

And I really hope lots of people go to see this movie. I kind of think of it as telling Hollywood that we want more good Christian movies. And I think the more people that go to see this movie, the more Hollywood will get the message.

Anyway, in honor of the movie, I drew a picture of Aslan in my art journal! I took some pics as I went along, so you can see the progress. :)

Btw, it's done in color pencil, in case you were wondering.

 The finished picture:

The Tale of the Tiny Christmas Tree

You know Christmas is sneaking up on you when it's in one week and you don't have a Christmas tree!

Fortunately we have one now, but we didn't three days ago! o_O

 So we were driving up to Lowes to buy a tree on Thursday night. Laughingly I asked if anyone thought Lowes would be sold out of trees.
Little did I know ...
We walked into the tree section. And. There were TWO. Christmas. Trees. Left. They were OK ... from the waist up. But below that? The branches were bare. The needles departed. *Grin*
So we turned to the tiny tree section. Tiny, as in not even shoulder high on me. Mmmm-hmmmmm ...
*Snicker*
It was so pitiful and ridiculous and hilarious! I just started laughing, as my bro picked up the tree with one [ONE] hand and ran [RAN] out to the van. Hehe!
This thing strikes me as quite hilarious. I mean, just look at the pitiful, adorable thing! That's me (and Elssa) standing next to it, and it makes me look like a giant. :) And yes, I'm standing RIGHT next to it, not closer to the camera. :)

Merry Week Before Christmas everyone!!

Wally World Shopper

Yesterday in Walmart I saw lady with short gray hair. And she was quite the character! Especially her outift.

--- Purple ear muffs




--- Black leather jacket






--- Gray plaid shorts. Ummmm? Shorts? In, ummm winter? In THIS state??? o_O







--- Knee high socks with Christmas trees on them



--- Tennis shoes


This lady was a very brisk shopper. She seemed very in control, doing the power walk up and down isles. And such a character demanded her own personal page in my journal! I rather approve of ridiculosity.

So ummmm ... does anyone else find it creepy that I journaled about a complete stranger? No? *Whew* Good!

Mittens

Wait. What's this? TWO posts in one day??

"Oh my goodness gracious, Inna, what is up with that?!"

"Oh my goodness gracious, blog reader, I just happened to have two blog worthy things today! So deal with it!"

:)

*Ahem* I just finished knitting a new pair of mittens! And now I'm going to work on a hat. And the hat will be an amazing lemongrass color that looks stunning with the plummy purple. 

And if you don't believe me, you'll just have to hope I post a picture of my finished hat and mittens together!

They'll look great with my new black winter coat. (Which I got for $5 dollars. *Happy sigh* I do so love the Salvation Army)

[Edit: Never did make the hat. Oops. :P]

A frosty morning ...

Calligraphy

I've been working on a time line of the reformation for school this week, and I had a lot of fun with the calligraphy and art! Wanna see it? 

OK. :)

Note: yes, the time line goes on waaaay farther to the right. :-/

Just writing two words and decorating it took close to an hour. I can't imagine copying the whole Bible!

Wow.
