This site is about my life in the art studio. It includes drawings, paintings, knitting and cross stitch and fun art techniques. I will also include recipes and yoga and book reviews. This is a lifestyle blog with intentional and simple living ideas.
Today I wanted to draw. I had a few minutes to sit down in my studio.

I found this on the blog:https://www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com/gluten-free-crepes/#recipe
This was a great recipe. It turned out delicious. It was like I was in Paris France again.
Beat the eggs, add rest of the ingredients.
I had to use a mixer to get the batter smooth.
Drop 1/4 cup of batter into the heated pan. Cook for 1 minute. Flip and cook for 30 seconds to a minute.
Add fruit to the crepe.
Why the oranges in the photo? Because I was originally going to make crepes with oranges and squeeze some for the juice. After inspecting they were not good to eat. So strawberries and bananas were the next choice.
Yes I added chocolate syrup to mine!

I started a new journal. This one is 5″x8″ journal that will be dedicated to flowers.
The book In Bloom, has wonderful illustrations and directions on how to draw flowers from around the world.
Currently I am sketching the flowers. Then next week while waiting to be called in for jury duty. I will finish the sketch using pens or color pencils. Not sure yet.
I will post more as they get completed.

Let’s just face it, we all need a break and a relaxation night. I worked from home. (by the way, I have a second job) and I was exhausted. This night, nothing seemed to satisfy my taste buds. So my idea of feeding my stomach was simple and sweet.
This is the easiest snack to make. This can be for breakfast, lunch, snack and for this night, dinner.
Spread the peanut butter on the rice cakes, layer bananas on it. Use the remaining banana for a side snack along with strawberries. It can be made in 5 minutes!
For the drink: Almond Chocolate Milk

Ingredients
Bread the catfish. I used an egg wash to coat the fish first then I put the gluten free bread crumbs on the catfish and placed it in a pan to bake on 350° for about 20 to 30 minutes.
While the catfish was baking I boiled water for the snap peas. Once when the snap peas are done which takes 4 to 6 minutes I drained the water and then added butter.
Cut up a tomato and cucumbers. Mixed together with salt and pepper and the lemon dressing or a squeeze of lemon place in the refrigerator to keep cool. Add basil for a garnish.
Bake a potato either in the oven or in the microwave whatever suits your lifestyle. Add dairy free butter and salt and pepper and chives on your baked potato.

I had a few hours of personal time in-between client appointments. It was time to paint again.
I might reopen the Etsy shop, but under a different name. It might be open by the fall. I want to keep painting and have a larger collection.
I have the bottom colors finished. Next will be more detail using acrylic markers..
Maybe I can spend more time in the studio later this week.

This knit stitch is great for scarves, blankets, dish towels. It’s easy. It takes two types of stitches knit and purl.
Cast on multiple of 4 plus 2.
* repeat, pattern begins each row with knit 1, and ends with knit 1.
I am stitching squares of different stitches and will be stitching them together for a blanket. I am hoping it will be a blanket that can go on my bed for the summer. It will be a long wait for this to be finished. But it will be worth it.

This is the latest I have been working on. The reason I started embroidery was because I needed something simple and fun to do while I have been extremely busy with work and I needed a break from the Paris Rue cross stitch.
I am working on another one and will post when it is finished.
Happy Day
