Have I posted these before?

Sorry! Its been so summer - lovely here and I can't be cooped up inside pouring over a computer at all this time of year!
Here are some drawings done with quick lines, real photographs, and sharpies the "lab" can be found in this inspiring book - click here!

What to do when you should be doing your homework? Peter is working on his masters, but every once in awhile the weather is JUST TOO GOOD to pass up

doing something.... anything outside, even for a minute or two.

So I went on a run and tried to return to our house from the backside, 

meaning I had to fight off large over grown... 

well its not grass, its tumble weeds before they become tumble weeds... 

ANYway, when I came home Peter had to open the back door for me

and I had found a golf ball on my adventure. 

So...

this was a practice shot... that is why the ball is still on the ground ;)

 When he started back to his homework, I took a shower and painted this:

Its for the hilarious lady at church who counts the money.

She was sick so I had to help out and I am not near as accurate as her. :)

One Day

One day this week, I went outside. 

It was cold. It was windy. As you can tell with my hair.

But it was nice to just be outside ;) cheers for warm weather coming soon!!

 HOWEVER, until then... I will continue to do inside things... INSIDE... like this

Sick Me and The Great Idea

I drew a picture of me sick, yesterday. It also includes Tux my cute little cat. 

He likes to dump over glasses filled with water. Its kind of his thing, like a super power. 

Sadly though this picture is taken with Photobooth because once again, I cannot find my digital camera. Its nothing too special, but when I need it, POOF its gone. So I got to thinking what if I made up posters like the one below and posted them all over my house. Maybe then, my camera would come home to me.

And that my friends is my great idea...

Give me a break- I am sick. :)

What have I been up to? drawing pictures of scripture. It helps understand it a little bit better.

Psalm 110 - This Psalm talks about a King that God puts in place.

"the Lord says to my lord"

"Sit at my right hand"

"I will make your enemies your footstool"

I'll let you figure out the rest :)

 Plus I've felt sick so drawing is much more fun then thinking about how icky my tummy feels.

Recent Times!

Anyhoo here is my recent artistic endeavor -

Inspiration... Ideas!

Who doesn't need that?

This is my inspiration and idea board going in my office. I am also going to put quotes on it about leadership and of course the man- Jesus!

My dear camera is getting so old to the point that he just can't do what he use to so... my photos are here and there.  I apologize. Poor guy.

What HAVE I been up to?

I have no idea... truly. Sorry to have neglected you dear little blog. Don't take it personally. To make it up to you I will show you some things I am making for the sports themed senior potluck at our church. they are jersey place mats.

This referee one is my favorite

Wedding Gift!!

I was about to send off this wedding 
gift through snail mail.

the binding is hand sewn (obviously)

I know its not a birthday- but I live in a place where there are limited resources...

 So you "Make it Work" (Tim from Project runway)

 
We hate just giving gift cards... 

so we HAD to  spruce it up somehow!

With all my love to the new couple!      <3

Little Thoughts swirling in my head

Peace to the World

A Stroll through Blah Land.

Before I sleep at night

I told my Hubby i needed to do something cute or meaningful by the time I go to bed so...

I made a hanging wall thing:

First cut out the shapes you want - I did it with an old hymnal so that evenif they were blank they would be special

AND then- use a circle (out of card stock would be better)
attach string.

Then I painted with different colors: light/dark blue, green, black.

Glue it all together with modge podge

i bet yours could be way better! Let me know what you do!
