It's been a while since my last post, so here are some updates:
1. No artwork was attempted over the December break despite 2 consecutive long weekends from work and a 3 week break from school. =) Regardless, we had a good restful holiday season.
2. Chinese New Year was quiet this year, as it usually is with us here in LA. We had a good steamboat hotpot dinner at home though. The weather was nice and cold outside. It was perfect weather for hot soup. I think for next year I'm going to put up some red auspicious CNY decorations to get us into the mood.
3. We FINALLY submitted our plans for our backyard and just received the approval from HOA! It's been rainy and cold the past 2 weeks and it looks like there's going to be another bout of rain this weekend. Hence, construction might not begin till March. In the meantime, here are some "before" pictures of our weedy little backyard through the window in the stairwell.
It's been cold and rainy...
We took a little trip to an outdoor landscaping supply store to check out the different kinds of rocks/gravel/pebbles suitable for our backyard...
4. I've been thinking of getting a digital piano as well. "Digital" so that I never have to worry about tuning the piano ever. But prices are high and Yamaha is unrelenting. =( This will be another work in progress.

5. Artwork - I have gone through ideas, rejected them, and then changed my mind a thousand times. All I know is that I will be making or painting or gluing something for our walls. It will be done...eventually.
Maybe I can be inspired by this series of pictures I took of a spectacular sunset, from our living room window.
