I miss art

My #1 passion besides God and my family is art. Always has been. I now spend my "art" sewing and painting/drawing with Shelby. I love to draw and paint and boy do I miss it.
I did these in college...
Pencil drawing of Scarlet O'Hara



Pen and ink stippling still life drawing of a sea shell that was the size of my pinky




Acrylic on canvas painting of a female figure



I went to college for free b/c of this talent God gave me and I feel like I'm failing by not doing it anymore. No time in the day to just do art to do art.
Havin a down day....
I've got to sew up an entire inventory in 3 weeks for a festival I'm doing Oct. 7-8th and NONE OF IT IS EVEN STARTED!! I am gonna paint some items too though so there will be sewn objects and painted items!
I miss art just for art....

back to reality

All week long we've had the pleasure of having our great friends and my best gal pal from Indiana stay in our home. They drove 12 hours!!! We all had a blast and are sad they left yesterday but are already planning on our next visit which we all realized, Nichole will have a newborn by then!!!! She's due April 16th! We are all thinking it's a boy! She is a mere 128 lbs and looks like a flipping super model! Lol.
We cooked most of the recipes I've told her about for 2 years and sent them home with the recipes too! Hahaha. We laughed at the girls and how cute they are together and how different their personalities are! Shelby is very active, social, high strung and a lil Bizzy body ( she even lives up to my business name!) and Cambry is very laid back, easy going, rarely fusses and cries and plays well alone. They had a blast tho!!! Here's pics fr the week...
