Sweet Saturday!

Woke up to clouds,
worked through the rain
and now the sun is shining
and I am headed home from the brick and mortar to sew .....
and have a bowl of strawberry short cake ....
I made the shortcake and cut up the fresh strawberries this morning before I left home.

I finished the 48 x 36 Poppies and have the logo ready enough to talk to the client about their needs.
Taking the pencil Daffodil drawing back home to work on it some more.

My hubby will be with friends to watch the final four (that's basketball, friends) and I too will be home alone with the cats and my crafts. (May even listen to the game as a play).

I hope you all have a sweet Saturday, with or without the strawberries .... make it a good one!

More than 24 hours!!!

Have you ever accomplished so much in one day that your are sure there must be more that 24 hours in the day????? 

Me neither ...
but today was close.

I had a student call in sick and I was sorry to hear it but this opened up the entire after noon for me to "work"!!!!!!

I was able to complete a Easter Egg bookmark that I gave away almost immediately to a friend who stopped in to say she missed us .... (serendipity).

I worked on the watercolor for the nursing home logo,
almost completed the LARGE poppy commission (it's acrylic on 48 x 36 canvas),
started a daffodil pencil drawing (taking that home to work on it with my feet up),
and
completed the daffodil watercolor, photographed it and am ready to post it on esty, tomorrow.....
Special preview here tonight for my blog buddies!

No, even with the extra time today ... I did not clean up anything (are you surprised?)!

So, I hope you receive the gift of time this weekend and use it for something special!

Wednesday .... long day!

I usually have a light Wednesday but I have had two classes today and am preparing to leave to go on location and teach a BASIC DRAWING class to a group of 14 young girls.

My watercolor group worked on Daffodils ... they are blooming and there for the inspiration!!

My after school students spent their time on bunnies and eggs - color pencils and markers were a flying!!!
Fun time!!!

The group this evening is a new group and I will hopefully pick up a few private students from the lesson.
That is my favorite way to teach - ONE ON ONE and focused on the interests of that student.

Also scheduled a student for tomorrow, this young gentleman was a student of mine way back when he was in middle school and wants to get back into his drawing ... it will be fascinating to see him regain that spark and build his skills, again!

That would be the LESSON for today, it really doesn't matter when you start or restart your drawing and art interests .... like the commercial says ... JUST DO IT!!!!!!

I am back on here to add this note ... the evening group was made up of 15 girls (4th through 6th grade). They were full of energy, manners and talent. They all tried their best and were very creative... I hope to see many of them again.
