Winter is a fabulous season, it brings us the tidings of Christmas and the joy of a new year. It brings the biting cold that you can only love. The white snow that makes you smile every time you see it. The frost on your window that shows that Jack Frost came to visit. The season of skiing, sledding, and snowball fights. The best time of the year to drink hot chocolate. The time to play with your siblings and act like a young child again. The time to make snow angels and bundle up for the cold. The time to turn on the heat in your house and appreciate the warmth it brings. If you believe, winter is the most magical season of the year.

 

My homeschool group and myself went to AO Glass in Burlington VT today, to see people blow and shape glass. I got some pretty cool pictures and wanted to share with anybody who was interested. 
 

 

 

hazel's house is almost fully cast, but for one ghost and a few people who haven't confirmed. costumes for all but a few of the characters have been purchased. shooting locations are starting to become a concern, order of filming is on my mind, and we have met with one of our actors and have a plan ot meet with another already. i've made a few minor changes to the script so it can be shot with the cast we have. so in the meantime there's only one thing to do that i take care of: props.

(For some reason most of the picture would get chopped off if I tried to upload it in portrait mode, so of course it is not meant to be on its side.... Is there a way to upload it in vertical orientation so cranning one's head to the side is not required?)

Black cats have always been looked at as bad luck around Halloween time. Children notice one strolling down the street and are slightly more afraid of the cat than if it was a different color because of the stories made. Children's books sumarize black cats as witches' friends and evil, but in truth they are very loving if taken care of. When I first saw my cat I thought to myself, Do I really want a black cat? It could give me bad luck... Turns out I did because I got her. She was the smallest, fastest kitten in the room; always hiding and never wanting to be touched. After I got her, I spent many hours keeping her company and attempting to build a relationship with this cat. Now, 3 years later, she and I have an unseperable bond. Shadow gives good luck around Halloween instead of unluckiness that most black cats are seen to give. Whenever you see a black cat, I hope you now think about good luck instead of bad luck. 
 

These are just some drawings I did of green genderless aliens... for some reason they showed up sideways.
