September 30th, I packed my bags and drove my big red truck across the country. From California, to my beautiful new residence in Florida. I survived my first month fairly well, got a job and a cute little apartment.

The beaches are beautiful. I've been to one in the Pensicola area, and more recently one on Anna Maria Island. The waters are that tropical blue and green color, and walking along the shoreline is very much like slipping into a warm bath. I have a hundred seashells scattered about my bedside table. (grin)

Still crocheting. The current project is a scarf for my mother. Honestly, it's the Christmas gift from Hell. I've slowly been chipping away at it since September and it's not even half completed. It's gotta get some focus applied to it if I want to get it finished in time!

Since I left California, I've felt like my drawings have improved. Haven't had a chance to test my improvement *painting* wise, but drawing I think is getting there. I've decided to work on all the Hollows characters. Ceri and Rachel are the only one's I've worked on so far (having a hell of a time figuring out Rachel's hair- part of why I haven't posted anything of her yet), but I'd like to get around to doing all of them. Hope Kim Harrison doesn't mind. I don't think she will.
