hello

 

 

i've gotten back to my routine this week

which feels really good. my art routine at least. but

it's been two weeks since i've walked! hopefully that can

start again by Monday.

 

the girl i painted is in my small art journal

and only took me around three hours. i made her using

tombow markers and prisma color pencils. then doodled around her with a white posca pen.

the tombow markers and water make the most amazing watercolors. i just love how they dry, making their own textures. so pretty.

 

i painted Virginia's new shelves and finished knitting

the tiny blanket for her bed. i'm still deciding whether the floor should be wood or checkerboard.

 

my art room hasn't changed much. though i have started

a tablecloth and I really like having a white surface to work on.

 

yesterday I finished the fourth season of outlander!

whoa they have one stressful life!

watching all of those back to back is tiring

with all the flinching i do lol.

i would've run back to the stones and the future

no matter how much i loved Jamie! whew! 

 

loving: my peaceful non violent existence

 

waiting: to start a better man when i finish my current book

 

needing: a big glass of sweet tea

 

enjoying: the last days of summer

 

 







sitting outside

 

 

 

 

 

does your mind get filled

with an interesting book

and

feel like you are a part

of it?

mine does

and I'm there right now

making it hard to

think of anything else

 

but I will try

 

this morning as I sat outside

with my book and my coffee

I saw a little animal in the grass

I went and got my

binoculars to look closer

and sure enough

it was a baby ground hog

so funny looking

like a squirrel with a big head

and a wet tail

it moved kinda like an otter

as it loped across the yard

stopping to eat grass

in places

 

it was wonderful

 

I'm loving books

baby animals

knitting practice

painting and learning new techniques

rainbows

parties at work

Gilmore Girls

and slow days at home

in my jammies

 

 

knitting....

finally....i finished my shawl. it's really soft and warm. 

now I'd like to start something colorful....

the big ole moon

last sunday we drove to the farm to watch the moon rise.  we passed some cows along the way.

i put my chair in the bed of the truck,  granny clampet style,  and knitted. while bobby fished a little.

as it got dark we watched a storm cloud build up miles away......  

i would like to post some beautiful pictures of the moon, cause it was gorgeous! but 

they turned out like a little blurry dot in the sky. kinda embarrassing.......

Whoa! I stayed up til after 10 p.m. that night. that rarely happens 

but it was soooo worth it!!!!

stuff i've been doing....
