No, no quilting yet.  My machine is still in storage. But I need a creative outlet to de-stress.

Flowers do make me happy, but these are a little strange.  I haven’t painted or drawn anything for so long, I don’t feel much like an artist at all.  This is messy.  Watercolors take practice and I am really out of practice.  I feel like I am starting over, and I hope you don’t mind if I share a few things that truthfully, I’m not too happy with.  I’m trying to bring some balance to my life my drawing more, even if it is just doodling.  And I don’t claim to be very original as I do look at Pinterest a lot.  Here is the non painted version.

Maybe I should have left it this way.  Really struggling with colors–but I’ll probably get better if I keep trying.  The only reason I had time to do this was I was home sick with a cold from work today.  Hope my weird creation at least made you smile!

Oh my!  It’s Spring Break and I can finally think about something other than teaching music for a few days.  I looked at my blog and realized it was stuck in December!  So sorry.  Well, it certainly isn’t cold winter here in sunny Las Vegas today with highs in the mid-80’s.  I needed something bright and fun to post just to get some “Spring” into my blog.  So I searched through my almost finished projects and found these little hexies.  Will it turn into a small pillow or a wall hanging?  Don’t know yet, but I have some ideas.  I’ve tried it out on a couple of different background fabrics just to get my creative juices flowing.   I’ll decide soon what to do and promise not to wait another 3 months to post about it!  Happy Spring!

By the way, I’ve updated my “About Pam” page to reflect a little more of what I am doing these days.

Hope you have your stocking stuffers.

Caroling, caroling near and far, Christmas bells are ringing.  Hope you are having a happy Monday.
