Starting on Christmas

 Hello all! Well, I’m starting on some watercolor paintings that will end up being part of a Christmas Doodle Booklet. Here are the first ones I’ve finished. 

Watercolor Sketchbook

 Today’s Scripture in my watercolor sketchbook. 

And when I needed a break yesterday from stitching.... I drew in my journal about my stitching. Lol 

Starting Another Project

I  started a new fall wool appliqué . This design is from my Colors of Fall Doodle Booklet  .... I changed the colors from my original plan to better reflect Fall  

Then..... I finished the first Fall Wool Appliqué 

All I need to do now is decide whether I want to mount it on something or make into a pillow ..... hmmmmm?

Enjoy your weekend my friends !!😍

Sleepless Nights Have Benefits

 Well, I’m in a weird sleep cycle again. I have some GREAT nights I go to bed, fall asleep wake up 8-9 hours later. Then.... I have nights like last night. Went to bed around 11:30 Tossed and turned till 12:30 finally got out of bed. 

I decided to do this design off the cuff just as I went along. 

I did go back to bed around 5:30 am and woke up at 12:00 noon feeling rested. 

Here’s what I did.
