After this row is completed I will start of the sky portion or the street portion.
Stay tuned

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.

The New Year has been slow going for me. I haven’t had much energy to do much.
It was a cold day, I had a few clients and then I made hot butternut soup and had chicken on a gluten free bagel. Very delicious.
Lately I have been wanting to draw and color. I’m working on this peacock. Using mixed media of color pencils and acrylic markers.
Here’s an update on Rue Paris
I have 2 more columns left to stitch then I can start of the sky or the road. Not sure which one I’ll pick.

I have been busy with my job, so there was a delay to post on this blog and to post new art for my Etsy shop… I also have been fighting my chronic fatigue.
I have a little update on Rue Paris… I still have to finish this row, one more page left.
I have been watercoloring in my journal. Some art is up for sale on Etsy. These are close up images.
I only did one pen and ink. It is up for sale on Etsy.
I have not decided if I want to put this up for sale. I normally don’t draw figures.
Finished a scarf using searsucker knit stitch. Not for sale.
That is what I have been up to. Also I have blanket I am stitching using crochet. I ordered a book to learn more crochet stitches. I self-taught knitting so I can self-teach crochet.
I have been working on an adult coloring book, I have designed the pages and waiting for more visions. Once it is completed I will decide how to publish it. My goal is this time next year to have it published.

Today I worked on the Rue Paris Cross Stitch.
My cat also joined me. Loves the string action!

Finished 3 pages out of 18. It’s looking really nice. Can’t wait for one row to be done.
I also started some new drawings.
I am proud of my latest art. I have been trying to focus more on creating art than focusing on overworking myself in my job.

Second page out of 18 pages are completed!
It’s been a long time since I worked on my cross stitching.
There’s so much detail and changing of colors. I have been enjoying it.
I will get to work on it more because I’m working from home now. And in between my breaks I can stitch a little.
Happy Day

Rue Paris is coming along. First page has been completed.
Setting up for another page. I’m working the center out.
I’m eager to get more stitching time. My work schedule has been busy. I feel like it’s going to get busier in a few weeks with the stress of the world. I’m still keeping my Saturday and Sunday as my stitching days.
Pray for Ukraine.
Happy Day

Today I worked for a few hours, then went home and took a nap. I have been exhausted. My profession is mental health counseling and I have been busy. Next week even more booked than this week. So having a few hours to stitch has been nice.
I have one more column to stitch and the first page will be completed. Definitely have many more to go.
This pattern has tons of color changes. It will certainly keep me busy for a long period of time.
Below is a close up of the many colors for this pattern.
Stay tuned for more updates
Happy Day

Another day relaxing with tea and cross stitching. Can you see the Eiffel Tower in the background?
I’m enjoying this cross stitch.
Happy Day

It has been awhile since I had a time to stitch on this cross stitch.
Today, I took many naps, kept my legs elevated and stitched..it was a nice quiet day.
I found out I am diagnosed with Lipedema and may also have Lymphedema. It’s going to be difficult if it progresses. Which sounds like it will. I’ll be going to medical appointments more often. Blogging may be on hold for awhile. Yet again. Chronic pain really bites! This upsets me and I’ll most likely blog about it, once I feel comfortable to write.
It’s causing me to rethink about my job and how much I take on. I’ll need to make a change. I’m thinking of a few options.
Here’s the update…
Happy Day
