Inbetween

working, cleaning the house, preparing for Christmas (cooking, baking, more cleaning and decorating) and running around... I have found time to create a bit. These wooden Santas, I made out of pieces of wood I found in the forest while walking with Charlie. So easy to make, you just cut them to the length you want, paint red on one side and white on the other. Then you use fake snow paint for the beard part, drill a hole and tread through wire or string, and you have a Santa stick. If you want a real rustic look to them, don't cut them but rather break the stick.

Then yesterday I had a day off from work at the store, and what do I do on a day off... Well I waved bye to the kids as they left on the school bus, I took Mr B's car to the garage and had an oil change done, came home, took a shower, picked up a friend and we went to a meeting at the gallery, then dropped her of and I took my car to the garage for snow tires and oil change... I tell you, I know how to have good old fun and relaxing time. Any how, while waiting for my car to get done, I sat in a coffee shop and sketched a bit. I started to play around first with this "Let it snow" cube set (saw them at work while in a box a few weeks back) its just not going in the direction I would like to see it go and I don't like it and not sure if I will keep it and try to fix it.
Mental note to self: Start drawing lines and drafting again, I'm so out shape with that stuff.

And I drew this little girl with her Christmas tree and treats, just something I thought of. Thinking maybe I should try to make that in to a painting and or a print (start carving again)...

Tomorrow is Friday again, I'm so excited... Not only its the weekend ahead of us, but I'm going to have some time to paint and be in my studio. Saturday its girls night in at my place, and on Sunday we are expected to get a lot of snow... I want snow, a lot of snow, it just makes everything feel so much more like Christmas and I cant wait to make snow lanterns again.

Happy Friday everyone!
