Is it just Thursday!

This is the Princess and the Pea bed.  It isn't exactly 100 mattresses but it is a fun piece to look at. 

Hans Christian Andersen was quite a phenomenal artist.  He loved the art of paper cutting (scherrenshnit) and was a master at it.  He used very large scissors because he had very large hands but it was incredible the beautifully delicate pieces that were cut.  He also loved to use pen and ink and did many drawings.  His landscapes and animals remind me a lot of Van Gogh. 



He was not bad looking as a young man.  Unfortunately the most photographed and sculpted form is in his later years, when his features were quite sharp and he was quite gaunt.  This is a sculpture from his 40's.  He was born the same year as Joseph Smith, Jr.  but got to live until he was 70.

We stayed inside all day long and did nothing but read and surf the internet.  I think it is just what we both needed.  I keep thinking it is Friday though.
