hand dyed fabrics (various)
On the Saturday morning Matthew made his famous maple cream cheese french toasts for Milissa, Andrea and I. We missed Jay but the our sorrow was eased by extra round of toasts.
Matthew came to school with me. Our dye samples hang in the backround. Some of my classmates Caroline and Emmily get a little weaving done.
Oh okay...skip to the next night. (Someone will have to show me the trick of putting pics in order...) So after the chorale concert, I was delighted to introduce Matt to Lindsay and Nathaniel. We stepped out for gourmet comfort food at Feenies. The Iron Chef himself prepared our close to midnight supper.
So back to Milissa's. She was telling us that during her pregnancy she's
Ah, and Pippa, the littlest Ewing, for a very limited time.
Later on, we stopped for tea and good treats with Paula and Andrew.
Before Christmas I put these sticks in a jar of water and voila, they are beginning to have some new baby leaves. I like this colour harmony...so just holding on to this image to reference down the road.
My baby bro and I in the middle of the road in Deep Cove, after happily gulping down a Honey's donut. One of the lovliest things about Matthew is how much he misses Krista when he is away. In his hand are a couple of pressies for her. Everywhere we went he would browse for something fun that she would appreciate. Good husband missing dearly his sweet wife.
Matt back at school, in my drawing class. It was memorable.
Here's Ryan Wugalter. It's hard not to say both the first and last names together. It's tradition I guess. We met down at his bookstore, and hung out enjoying some exciting artwork for sale there.
Nathaniel and Lindsay back at Feenies.
One of the littlest women in the midst.
Keira and her mom Akiko.
Ashley's mama flew out to have some time with her favorite daughter. Fairly sleep-deprived but still keeping everyone smiling. Ashley comes by her quick wit and energy honestly!
A random shot of me. 
One of my oldest and dearest chilliwackian friends got married in an intimate little ceremony a few weeks ago and jetted of to the Dominican with her new hubby Marc. Her mom hosted a sweet wedding shower for her upon her return. While she was quite adverse to the usual hideous tissue fashion creations, she did permit this lovely veil and headpiece. Nikki and I like to pretend that we're tennis superstars. We're not very good and in fact our performances have prompted strangers to initiate contact offering impromptu lessons but we enjoy getting all geared up with the headbands and whatnot, so this look seemed about right for her. 
aaron, jay + i on one of our attempts to go get drinks
the sweet beckums
miliss and i chillin' prelim...this was close to the end of my weird dislocated ribs episode, and so the robaxacet looks like it's just setting in. ;) milissa is lovely in her 7th month of pregnancy. i have a feeling ewing children will be stepping out to the good concert scene with their folks, in not so many years to come.
a bit of a tricky blurry sitch...but ah...what a glorious venue.
in our colour theory class, we were told a while ago
