After a very long break, I am back...

Well if you can see this you know I have been gone for months, and this is just a snippet of my life since I was last here.

 

 
I still draw at Starbucks and Barnes & Noble Café most days of the week.

I am fully retired now so my days are spent drawing, quilting, volunteering ... I volunteer in my grand daughter's art class, which is just an awesome experience for me.

I still draw for Sktchy, but not as regularly I had been doing:

And my latest adventure is working with a personal trainer in a gym, just she and I, to strengthen my body and learn and improve balance. I've had seven 45 minutes sessions over October and early November, going twice a week, and I love it. There were moments early on when I asked myself what I was doing, was I nuts? but now I look forward to my sessions and I am starting to see improvements.
I'm keeping a sketchbook just for these sessions to record my progress.

I'm now lifting eight pounds and pulling 40!

 

I draw in other public places as well.

 

Since March I have completed five quilts for all five grandchildren and they all love them. Here are the two most recently gifted.

 And this is the one (below) I am currently working on. I'm really happy that I've gotten back into working with fabrics. It feels so creative and yummy to the touch.

So I hope this finds you all well. It took me a few minutes to remember how to even do a blog post. Really, it's amazing what one can forget when they aren't doing it regularly.

Take care and enjoy your creative lives!

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate you comments should you feel like leaving any.
