Day 34 - Dental Visit

Day 33 - Social Squirrel and a Painting Experiment

Today is Monday! Normally, not really something to be excited about, but I am taking a watercolor class and it's on Monday nights. So, it's a good day. I went straight over after work and found a little grassy area where there is a picnic table and worked on a little experimental painting. Just trying out different techniques and feeling out what my brush can paints can do. Let me just mention at this point that I will be taking a jacket with me next week! It was COLD out there! Brrrr.

Anyway, as I was painting, I heard something behind me and when I turned, it was this squirrel. It was so close, it was kind of freaky. He kept coming towards me, the I tried to snap his picture and he would move away, then come closer. I was almost afraid he was going to run over and up my leg or something. Sheesh, these city squirrels are certainly friendly! So used to people around. Their suburban cousins are a little more private. Sorry the photo is a little blurry, but it's a squirrel!

Not sure if I totally want to share it, being an experimental painting, but I thought I would show my "wet on wet" painting from class tonight. I wanted to try to paint a landscape without drawing anything ahead of time. It's fun to see what the paint does when you put it down and swirl it around! I need to play around more during the week. Time for bed now though.

See you tomorrow!

Day 32 - Hospital Halls

Hospital halls all look the same to me.

Yesterday, my mom was helping dad put siding up on the back of the house and fell off the ladder. Broke her leg. Hello hospital. I was a little tempted to post the pre-op picture of her, but I don't think that would be very nice. I certainly would not be happy if it were me.

Tomorrow starts another week and my second night of my watercolor class! Yay!

I can't believe this is my 32nd post! Time flies when you're having fun!

Thanks for stopping by! If you can't tell, I'm a little distracted and disjointed today. Better call it a night.

Day 31 - At the Movies

Not much going on today and I don't want to post too many pictures of quilting in progress, so, guess where I took my photo today?!

Day 30 - Better Late Then Never

So, I just realized that it is 12:15am and I forgot to post my picture before I got too involved in sewing. I'm working on an improve quilt and trying to put fabrics together. Ironing, cutting, sewing, ironing, cutting, sewing, ironing...you know.

Day 29 - Autumn Blocks

Day 28 - Dad's Garage

 

I love the look of an old garage, but it's not very practical. My dad is working on redoing the garage, so I thought I would steal a couple photos before it got all fancy and sheet-rocked.
