Southern California in January

We took advantage of the sunshine after several weeks of cold-for-California weather and went bike riding here.

Chase took this picture. Check out what else he's been up to this week.

We went to lunch at a new place in Newport-Delicious. We even ate outside on the patio!

I've been reading a  bunch- a perfect activity while the men in my life are watching football. Here's one of my favorite recent reads.

I love that it's written by an incredibly smart and powerful woman, Elizabeth Warren.

And my favorite new pencil arrived from Amazon! Love how easy they are to write with and the stylish eraser.

  1. Hi Jana,

    Just wanted to introduce myself. I found your blog in someone else's blogroll, and had to check it out because we share the same first name.

    Then, when I saw that your favorite place is Balboa, my interest was piqued. When I was a child, my family had a house on the Balboa peninsula.

    What really caused me to comment on this blog post was that you mentioned a new pencil, and as a pencil artist, I was ridiculously excited!

    So, I look forward to making your acquaintance and reading your thoughts and experiences.

  2. Welcome to you Jana! Your pencil art is lovely. Let me know how you like those pencils. I love them-soft and dark lead!

  3. Aw shucks, thanks for looking up my art.

    I don't want to order the pencils yet because I have a boatload of other brands that are proven. Actually, it is because I have to order 12 at a time, and if I don't like them, then, well, then bummer! I'd like to know how they compare to a 6B in the Staedtler brand. . . maybe I should look them up in some place other than Amazon and see what other pencil artists have said.
