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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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 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.

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.
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!

I wrote a list at the beginning of the year as a goal to minimize my home.
I have succeeded in checking off a lot on this list.
Stay tuned to my decluttering progress, more gluten free meals, more art and anything in-between!
*thanks for following me, it a wonderful support to know someone cares what I say and doing in my life!*
Happy Day
