I used Crayola color pencils.
Is this finished? I don’t think so. I have more ideas. There’s a lot of blank space on this paper.

Day 10: Childhood Memory
Hot air balloons, birds and butterflies and growing up in the country. These are some of my drawings on card stock of the memories. This challenge was a photography challenge, but I am including my art as a voice to the challenge.
Growing up in the country I was around the beauty of nature, the birds singing and seeing plenty of butterflies. There were times in August there would be hot air balloons going over our home. I still dream of riding in a hot air balloon.

Update on My Goal List
I made goals at the beginning of this year. The goal is to complete what was started! Let’s see what has been done. And read the books I have. Plus no additional shopping, use what I have with my arts and crafts.
The Knits
There are 2 knitting projects, one a scarf and the other is a wrap.
The scarf is knitted with seed stitch. The wrap is knitted in hurdle stitch. It has 4 rows which is row one: knit stitch, row two: knit stitch, row three: knit, purl, row four: knit purl
The scarf is getting close to being completed. I may be able to wear this scarf before the winter ends!
Below is purl stitch. Garter stitch is the edge.
The wrap has much more to finish. I just added the other skein of yarn a few days ago. I also have to stop knitting it at a certain length, so I can knit pockets for it. (being a little adventurous)!
Below is close up of hurdle knit stitch.
Books
I am not a fan of reading. I prefer to write, but I know my writing is not professional.
The Bible study is going well, every night I listen to the study and make notes. I have been learning a lot.
The other books-well they make it out of the bin, but then onto a table. I just can’t get myself interested. The goal was to read, not to complete the entire bin. Maybe I have revisit this goal.
I Bent the Rules
I was going to finish another cross stitch before I began Rue Paris. But I just wanted so badly to start it. So I am now focused on Rue Paris. I am ok with that. I think I will alternate between the one I need to finish and Rue Paris.
Below is how much I have accomplished on the stitching. I’ll stitch Rue Paris on Sunday.

Snowy Stitching Sunday
It’s cold and snowy today. It’s a good day to be in PJs, blankets and drink tv with the electric fireplace heating up the room.
I am a big fan of hot tea. A few years ago I purchased a subscription to simple loose tea. I have a lot of packets still. My decluttering goal is to use what I have before I purchase more.
Today was chocolate mint black tea. It’s very good. Definitely a thumbs up.
Rue Paris Progress
Reminder of what it’s going to look like once it is stitched.
I became tired, my hands were getting tight.. it’s time to rest. I also want to watch some YouTube videos of my favorites before I go to bed.
It stopped snowing, but it’s going to start again tomorrow… At least I work from home tomorrow!
