Painting and Drawing and Driving

Happy Sketchy Saturday! James and I drove to Charlotte today to go painting at Art Space Studio. It was a long drive, but totally worth it to spend the day with my son painting two projects for the holidays.

I reserved my little Christmas tree a few weeks ago. It’s one of those trees with the little plastic colorful lights. I honestly find them kinda tacky, but it brings back memories of my grandma. She had one of those trees and brought it out every year and now I want one too! LOL!

I know I’ve skipped a few Sketchy Saturdays here. I honestly haven’t been drawing much, unless you count doll pattern revisions. Yesterday I got back to my card sketches and had some fun:

I’ve already started writing Mally the Maker book 2 and the scenes I’m working on is making me want to do a lot more sketching for this book. I just need to set aside the time, make sure I have a sketchbook and pencil and make myself DRAW.

Why is it hard sometimes to do the thing you want to do, even when you want to do it? That’s what’s on my mind today and I honestly don’t have a good answer.

I hope you had a great Saturday! What have you been working on?

Let’s go quilt (or draw),
