Love is all around...

I love drawing little fairies

My two dachshunds are
a constant source of enjoyment too

Love is all around!

A Sketching Sorta Day

I felt like sketching a little today...

and add a little paint
:)

Summertime Dotty

Crafty Day

Just a quick doodle in my sketch book
with morning coffee.

Finished with all the colours.

A quick felt project today too.

This wee flamingo will be heading
to Florida in a package later this
upcoming week.

another doodle

and one more little doodle/sketch.
Now I've got to make dinner and knit some.
Hope you had a delightful weekend too.

A Sign

Hi Friends
I am back at the craft table today
making a new sign for
the downstairs
front door side window.

Instead of using canvas cloth
as I had with my previous sign
shown in first picture,
I'm using duck cloth.
I don't have to use gesso to
prep the surface.
Although I do
us fray check to bind
the edges to keep
them from unraveling.

This is the front door/window.
I'll take a picture of sign hanging up
was it dries and I hang it.

So many beads...

so little time!
Well, I have time, but
I've not been inspired to create with
beads, just yet.
Hopefully before too long
I will be.

I root through my cards box.
The hope is to send out
timely correspondence
instead of thinking of it
and then not following through.

I found this clear storage bin at
JoAnne Fabric
on sale. I"m organizing
birthday, note cards and
general holiday stuff.

Between painting sign, organizing cards
and general sketching and creating...

I'm never too busy to stop
and text message with my daughter.
She sent me a picture of my grandson
in his crib.
His attention is drawn to lighted
items, iPad, mobile and day light through the window.
I do think he may be curious like his Nana ;)

My next project...
putting colour to several of these sketches.
Cheers~

A Day of Sketching and Tea Time

Hi Friends
I was very motivated to
sketch today...

I'm still working on this one...

And then I was inspired to start this one too...

I decided to have a cuppa and snack...

and then I wanted to make
pumpkin bread...

And I started dinner
homemade beef stew...

homemade biscuits

I wasn't really happy with this one...

just not my fav.
But I'm very happy for all the other
things I was able to complete today!
:)

From the Sketch Book

First Day of the New Year,
Like the first blank page in a journal.
Wondering what this new year
will bring...

Hoping to crochet and write
much more
this new year.

Spending time with loved ones, family
and especially that wee grandson
of mine.

I look forward with curiosity
and a keen sense for adventure!
Seeking, seeing and stumbling
upon inspiring events,
places, people and
the unknown!

And it starts with
each new day!
