Hauls and Yarn and Jewelry and...

I went to A.C. Moore during their yarn sale days and scored some awesome yarns to make hats, baby things, amigurumi babies, and stuff. Four big canvasses and a huge lot of acrylics later (all at 50% off), I'm bound for painting a large, glorious tree through the four seasons. I scored some $1 jewelry parts so in a bit I hope to have three sets of earrings and a couple of necklaces or lots of silver-toned bracelets. I adore sterling, but it's so damned expensive!

I'm working on an owl hat for the baby (ck. out the owl hats on my Pinterest Crochet board) and the body of the hat is finished...the eyes, some side flaps and some tufts for the 'ears' are left...very simple parts. I want him to be comfy and such through the winter. He's still mostly bald and with my short hair and the cool days we've had, I can see where we both need hats. My hair is growing out like his, but...we're doomed for cold scalps for the winter.

Beyond that, some serious thrifting is in my future and major crocheting. I'll work in time to draw and sketch while I work on the Four Seasons.

Enough for now...Amber didn't happen last night so I have nada to report.

I'm woefully behind on my sketches and my thoughts on what to sketch. I've got a jacked up art journal going now and one that was abandoned but that I'll likely pick up and start again in...soon. The one I'm working in now will fool you. It's great looking on the outside and weak on the inside. Weak! People...Weak!

Apologies to Jen for not sketching. I'll get back to it and catch up! I promise...*hugs*. Other than that, I've spent the morning sleeping and watching art vids. Wasted? Nah, since the Methotrexate has me tired and down. I'm headed to Holly's maybe and have some family time. I need a pick-me-up!

Turning Point in My LIfe

Oh how I loved my Ix...

Fav. Candy...Salt Water Taffy!

Salt Water Taffy from Florida!

Day Nine

Backwards writing makes for weird handwriting. I tried to draw my TV. Lol...sad.

GIR IN 4D

What's this do?

Fav. Cartoon Character!

GIR!

Lost 6 sketches...damnit. Reproducing now!

That's "Return of the King" in Elvish...right? Ok, my swirls suck and it appears to be backwards English, but hey...I'm in a movie chair with popcorn and a soda. Oh to have popcorn again....

Catching up with Sketching

Hahaha....backwards. That's so me. Forgot that photo booth is a mirror. Duh! Oh well, my movie will be filled with backward writing awesomeness as well.

Day Four (Out of Sequence...Naturally)

Elbow Beach, Bermuda. Those are tiny peeps on the beach. The beach is pinkish and the waters are turquoise! The temps range from 50-80 during the day with ocean breezes (winter to summer temps) and at night, 50-65. The almost daily average is 70. Heaven on Earth.

Sketching Challenge Continues!

Do spirit guides count?

30 Day Sketching Challenge

Day Three: My Fav. Food...is spaghetti if you can't tell. Yes, it looks like a bowl of worms with space boulders sticking out, but...come on, there's a fork! The lighting sucked, so it's hazy. Maybe that's better? For absolute proof of it's goodness, I put it in a big bowl for how much I'd want to eat at any time! Yummy...Noms for the win!

Day Two of Sketching and a Hurricane

Day Two requires that I draw my favorite animal. I did a quick 15 min sketch of a cool Tabby only adding in big, big eyes! Important. All things should have big eyes. I later added whiskers over his eyes...duh.

Hurricane Irene is threatening my area. It's scary and yet...not...at the same time. I hope she's not a Hugo...

30 Days of Sketching!

Day One:

"Yourself" - here's a 10-min big-eyed doll sketch of me...in the midst of being thin. Note, I am idealistically and unrealistically thin! Googly-eyes and uneven lips - wait, why not?
