Hubby's hand surgery

Keep in mind, I'm not good at drawing people... I was so glad I took my sketchbook with us the day hubby went in for surgery on his hand. It was outpatient and wasn't supposed to take that long but we ended up being there almost all day. I did this spread, and another 3-4 while we were there. If I hadn't had my sketchbook I would have been bored to death!!!

Anyway, his surgery went well and he's almost healed up...

I've been doing art, honest...

My bad!!! I have been doing art, just not a lot of posting... I haven't been doing as much but I am still sketching, honest! I've been working and studying for work, and quilting... Anyway, I'm back!

I am thinking about merging this blog with my other one, it takes a lot of time to keep up two blogs... I'll let you know if I do. I have several sketches to scan but wanted to get something on my blog, I think this is the longest I've gone without blogging! I feel so guilty!

Anyway, sorry that it's been so long and thanks for coming by, have an awesome day!

Zentangled garden

This is one of the last spreads in the journal I just completed. I need to get busy and get out and sketch some real flowers! Fall is in the air and has been for awhile ~ which means an end to the flowers to sketch outside... I like fall, the leaves change and we have gorgeous sunrises, I'm not too thrilled about winter though.

This was a sketch I started of some flowers around the yard and never finished. So when I was finishing up my moleskine I decided to do some Zentangled flowers. I love the gradation of color that Margaret does over at http://waterblossoms.blogspot.com/ so I thought I'd try some different colors.

Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome day!

Another moleskine finished!

I just finished another moleskine last week! I've been busy but not doing too much sketching in the past week. I've been working on a crazy quilt piece, if you'd like to see it it's on my other blog:

I ran with hubby out to take his car to the dealership and didn't take my sketchbook! Of course we were there a lot longer than we thought we would be. I've been doing really good at taking it with me everywhere but forgot this one time...

Hope you have a great week!

Another twinchie sketch

This is another page of two inch square sketches. I went a little Zentangle crazy on the bottom. :D These are fun to do, trying draw this small....

It's feeling like fall today - it's 70 and you can definitely feel fall in the air! I have some iris I need to move and a couple of small trees to move too... I wonder when the aspen will start changing ~ might be a little early this year.

Hope you all have an awesome Monday!

Making zuchinni bread...

I just finished making two more loaves and some muffins of zuchinni bread. I'm having a bumper crop of zuchinni this year. Not any spaghetti squash yet, we'll see, it may have gotten planted too late. I've had about 6 cucumbers... not too good but better than last year. How do you like my "food processor?" LOL! I do have one but this little grater is so much easier to use and clean...
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Another big Zentangle

This is another full spread Zentangle in my Moleskine so it measures about 8" x 10". I learned to Zentangle from Rick and Maria, the creators and masters of Zentangle:

You can get their kit with a mini CD on the different patterns, plus a pen, and 50 tiles! They're constantly coming up with new tangles, so check it out if you're interested...

We had hail last night, I'm so glad I had brought in my Stargazer Lilly the other day. I need to get a few sketches while it's looking good, it smells really good!

Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping by!
