Alphabet Dreamin'

I woke up one morning thinking about this drawing, I gues I'm thinking about going back to school soon.  I added doodles to all the letters and if you look real close you can find the names of family members hidden in around the letters.  I had a great time making this drawing, but my eyes were a little crossed by the end.  I hope you have fun looking for all the hidden pictures.

The Flowers of Dawn

My latest doodle, I love to do these, I can just sit and relax and draw.  Meanwhile I can sip on my ice water and listen to a movie or music or ... 

Swirls of Color

After such a long break in drawing, I felt like taking a more free flow approach to my drawing.  It feels so good to have some quiet time to myself again and to be able to just doodle. 

Finished Kitchen

The kitchen is 99% done, my husband only has to finish the trim around the cabinets and put the toe kick in and It will be complete.  I have to paint the ceiling and do some touch ups, but other than that it feels so good to be able to work in my kitchen again. And I Love all the new storage!

The plaster is sanded so the wall cabinet are UP!  It feels so good to have cabinets again.  Now for the base cabinets, counter tops, sink, micro wave, and painting...

Turns out that it was a good thing we took all the cabinets down, the old ones were hung up with 3 or 4 nails each other cabinet and they were starting droop on the wall.  We got the dry wall and plaster up last week, what a mess!

Flower Basket

This took me a while to find the time and energy to work on it.  I'm so ready to draw again but so many other things have to come first, dern it!  This drawing was a new thought or idea to disect a flower basket into 3 parts.  One circle represents the basket, one the leaves, and the smallest circle the flowers.  I had so much fun doing this one.  I especially love the way the flower circle came out.  Now back to getting the kitchen done, then mother's day party for school, the bike-a-thon for school... you get the idea.  My summer starts in 5 weeks.  yes!

The wall cabinets and soffet are down and all the instullation from the attic came down too.  We have filled 3 garbage cans full of cellulose!  The hardest part is keeping up with the things falling from the ceiling.  I tried to cook last night after scrubbing the kitchen, things kept falling on to the stove.  We will be eating at the dinner down the road again tonight.

What's up at our house

This a picture of my daughter in my old kitchen, we have started to pull the cabinets out.  The soffett has to come down yet and all the cabinets need to emptied (not in that order).  Anyway -- MY HOUSE IS A MESS!!  and it's driving me crazy (in a good way) but it is taking away from my drawing.  I'll get back to it very soon - I hope
