Pumpkins pumpkins everywhere!

Need I say more??

COOKIES!!

So, Yum! I made some Oatmeal Coconut Chewies (and added a few things to it) yesterday and they turned out very delish! :D So, here is the recipe (and site that I snagged it from) along with my few added ingredients down at the bottom. Enjoy!

Oh, and I plan on drawing today...doesn't mean I'll get to it, but I'm planning on it.  ;)

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened to cool room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup shredded, sweetened coconut
1 cup quick oats
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl cream together the sugar, eggs, butter and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a greased or lined (silpat or parchment) baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes, until the cookies are set but not overly browned (bake a few minutes longer for a crispier version).

**I added 1 cup craisins (I HATE raisins with a capital "Get them the fuck away from me")
**Cinnamon to taste (I practice the dump and pour method of seasonings)

Blah...

I need to draw something, or do something artsy...Meh...

I did, however, find this:

And Holy Crap did it make me realize how elementary I am. I seriously need to step it up!

On a side note, I made chocolate chip cookies today :)

Finished!

I just need to mount it! The photo is a little washed out. Once I mount, I'll post a better picture. 

 

To swirl or not to swirl...

I was planning on doing a solid black background but now I don't know...

I'm kinda diggin' the swirls...I think I might clean it up a bit and see how the finished product looks. Worse case, it looks like shit and I just fill it in.

Not quite finished....

I still need to finish the background and touch it up a bit, but all in all not bad.

Also, please keep in mind, these pictures are taken with bad lighting and with my iphone so the colors are a little...meh.

A first attempt....

I think I might clean this up a bit tomorrow....

Not too shabby if you consider how long it's been since I've done a portrait. :D
