whoa, I am glad to be procrastinating, because I don't always keep up with this thread and Ashley, that is my favorite post in ages.

I've been watching Bela Tarr movies lately, and had a 'hey, I think I just saw that...' moment.

Your reaction is embodied, perhaps, by the squirrel in the bottom right-hand corner, itself, I feel, a subtle reference to the peripheral, almost unseen titular figure in Beughel's "Landscape With The Fall Of Icarus"?

That owl is really cool. I love the perspective, it's so real! She must have had many encounters with swooping owls!

Both drawing and book are pretty awesome!

I don't think I was even able to draw like that when I was 12 - come to think of it, ever!

I had not seen the squirrel until you pointed it out. I think it's my favourite part of the picture...I love its raised paw as if its thinking "oh my!" with a British accent.

Lovely stuff. I have to fight myself severely every time my daughter draws anything, lest I cover my skin completely in tattoos.

You must have weird breeds of trees in America if they shed children's faces in autumn

where i grew up the leaves were always wet wet wet and full of slugs, so i could never understand photos like that or poems about the crunchy leaves in autumn.

but then i moved to saskatchewan (10) and my life changed forever.

In the suburbs, there the leaves are clean.

Isn't it odd how Iris's face looks like I pasted it there?

Yeah! I thought that about it, but it was still obvious that you hadn't. I really need to see a northern autumn some time...

ohhhh my god

i love it
she is so lucky.

When I was growing up my mother did a lot of crafty things, making us blankets and hats and embroidering gorgeous winter coats and baby snuggies.  She got out of making stuff when I was a teenager, he has a hard time remembering how much creative stuff she did when I was a child (she think she's not creative).  It means so much to me, even when I was a kid I was all MY MOM MADE THIS THIS IS SO AWESOME (except for some hats she made that made me look like i was a squid when i was 7). 

She's started getting back into making things again and I'm really excited about it.   I meant to get some pictures while I was home but I failed to remember to.

Oh, I'm glad to hear you have happy memories of your mom's stuff -- I worry she'll grow up to think my things are tacky or crappy... you should definitely take photos. I also like hearing your stories about your mom. You could put them together into a photo book on snapfish or blurb or similar.

In more from the "kids are cute" file, I visited my family over Christmas and spent some time with my niece and nephew (ages 4 and almost 2).
