Sunday Sketch 10/7/12

It's Sunday again...

 

I had such a nice weekend with friends and family.  

Saturday we got together with family for birthdays.

Things turned out different than planned but in the end it all worked out fine:))

 

 My nephew, sister and mother are all celebrating

birthdays on the 5th, 6th and 8th of this month. 

[Happy Birthday Mama! XO] 

 

And today I got together with a friend for lunch and some shopping.

The weather was rainy and gray, but what a pleasant afternoon we had.

 

Please stop over to Sunday Sketches and

check out the other participants.

 

 I hope everyone has a super week:)

 Take care! Be good to yourself

and to those around you,

Watercolor Journaling

gouache and micron

I just started a new watercolor journal after painting

on these loose bits of paper recently. 

Last winter I found large sheets of w/c paper that I had

and I trimmed them all out and have been working away on them.

The jounral I've just started is a custom made sketch book

 that is wonderful and has some great paper:)

 I am going to  have to learn to start making and

binding my own sketchbooks, haha! I wish.

I joke, but actually I really ought to try that.

I'll get started on a YouTube search soon!

Have a Happy Tuesday:)

 

Keeping busy

Well, I've finally done it. I have got myself an Etsy shop, up and running. I am pretty excited about it and trying to learn the ins and outs of it. Here is my banner. I finally created it, not entirely to my liking but there is something in the spot for now :)

So far I have ACEOs on the shop and plan to add some 4x6 paintings and greeting cards.. A little at a time. The link is www.etsy.com/shop/WeThree I was also included in a few treasuries, which is so exciting for me. I have been trying to keep on with my journaling and did a little sketch while Mom T. was in the hospital. Poor thing had a quadruple bypass. She's in rehab and mending beautifully, thank God. She is in the facility my sister works at, and is in Jen's unit.

I saw this quote and was inspired to illustrate it.

Fun stuff.
