Pretty flowers!

So as you will see, I've gone back to the flowers background.  The grey circle was cool and all, but it got boring pretty quickly.  I think it's also easier to read my entries just black-on-white.  I don't know about anyone else but I find the funky colours some people use on their blogs very hard to read. :(

I really need to find some winter-blooming house plants to grow in my room.  I don't really like winter at all (as I keep saying and will continue to say until I see the first signs of spring :P) so having some pretty flowers in here would really cheer me up.

I'm planning on getting some writing done today.  I've had an idea for a kid's story for a few weeks now and I think I'd like to make a start on it.  I'm also planning to illustrate it/have it illustrated.  My drawing skills are not what they used to be, but something cutesie like Angela Melick's style would be good.  I've got a few doodles for the main character though.  I think he looks cuter as a neckless wonder, but I keep making him look too much like Calvin from 'Calvin&Hobbes'.  Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I just don't want to get done for copyright.  I will post more on my story once I have a clearer idea of the structure of it; for now I'll leave you with the title and my doodles:  "George and the Perfect Pillow".
