What do you draw when you are sick?

 Most of you know that we got sick on the last week of our planned month long road trip and had to come home a week early to recuperate! So what did we do? We sat in recliners, took our medicine (s); and waited for our energy to return. There wasn't any energy to do much, but I could draw.

The top two drawing/paintings were done from photographs I could see on my iPad. First is Allie, our one year old grand daughter. She is a real cutie! 

And then there is Henry V, who is also a cutie, no matter how stern he tries to look.

Oh there he is again, this time drawn live while he slept between my husbands knees under the blue blanket. (surrounded by a few other sketches (art quilt/cat toy/part of a buffalo leg)...

And when you get really really bored you draw what you see, which is only your own feet!

and then because you don't feel like getting up and doing anything else, you draw them again in a different position! Feet make good models. They don't balk at sitting in one position for as long as it takes.


DH must have been feeling better this evening...I drew him playing guitar.


But now we are both finally feeling a lot better; I'm back to work, he's back to enjoying being retired,
and soon we will make up for what we lost on our road trip and go see the grandchild...


and we hope Henry will eventually forgive us it all.

Feeling fulfilled in so many ways


A New Year, a Year of Peace...prayers said for healing, renewal...afterwards time with friends over lunch...feeling filled up, fulfilled,
satisfied, fortunate, grateful.

Fourteen year old grand daughter wrote a thank you email for her birthday gift, the fish quilt! She said "It's beautiful and I love it" and that she was "overjoyed that I had spent so much time making something so beautiful just for her". Talk about feeling appreciated.
I could not have asked for anything more.

Life is good.
