Yays!
Second post within a month lol
its a start

So I have been working on my sister’s wedding invitations - I am really excited about them! They have this big flower and I like the design so much, I am thinking of making it into a tattoo design for myself hehe
I would share the sketches I have so far, but I should ask my sister first, since its her wedding

I have also been working on two paintings, both of which I am filming. I am such a slow-poke though. I hope to have the videos up before Christmas, but who knows lol.
I have Christmas gifts to make, a new Blog design in the works, and a cute idea for a silly comic starring my dogs and one of their toys. So many ideas!! I am feeling really creative, just my OCD seems to get in the way……

The new WoW expansion is so awesome and addicting, that I find it really had to do anything else. I am trying to work on a schedule that I have made for myself, and it has helped a bit…but I still barely get anything done it seems. Plus, I have a habit of starting one thing and getting bored and moving on to something else….hence all the art projects I have on the go lol

I am also really trying to get back into shape….
I ate really poorly in September and October, due to the stress of my Father in Law passing, and my family coming down to visit…meaning I gained weight…so now I am struggling to lose it. *sigh* its been a never ending battle since moving to the States.
I am doing pilates 3 times a week, and Kettlebells at least twice - its a slow process.

So yah, that’s what has been going on!
I will post pics of my projects as soon as I can!

Have a super duper Thanksgiving to those who live in the States!
and for everyone else, have a wonderful week!

OH OH!
and if you want a good laugh, check out this video hehe
(there is some swearing at the end, fyi)

oh boy, have I been a lazy blogger!

I promise to start updating here at least once a week, even if my art life is dull dull dull (as it has been )
These past two months have been very hectic, with no time for art!!
Well, actually that is not true..
There is always time for art lol
So let me rephrase that - These past two months have been very hectic, and I chose to put my art on hold while we worked on the house and entertained relatives….and played WoW lol

Yah I have been playing lots and lots of WoW…since the last patch I have become addicted again and its only going to get worse when the expansion is released next week…AHHH!! so freakin excited!! lol

The house is definitely coming along nicely - we had the kitchen cosmetically upgraded (meaning new counters, new floor, new backsplash, new paint). No huge demolition, just made it look nicer Still need to paint the cabinets and get some furniture though, hehe.

My fabulous sister and her awesome fiance came down for about 10 days at the beginning of October - soo much fun!! Here they are eating a huge turkey leg at the Renaissance festival!!

I am still waiting on a pic they took of David and I in our costumes, but once I get it, I will post it!! hehe

After they left, my parents came down to visit - we had a week break inbetween, which was spent cleaning and getting ready for them We had an awesome time with them too!! They helped us a lot in the yard - got about 4 cubic yards of bull rock that we moved about and put in the garden lol but with the 4 of us, it went quite quickly! the front yard looks sooooo good now! and the backyard has a nice start to it YAYS for my parents!! hehe

So yah, October was busy
And now its November and I have finally started working on my art again!
WOOHOO!
lol
so here is what i am working on
stage 2, outlining the sketch!

so as you can see, its a fairy taking her wee dragon out for a walk!

I am currently waiting for some special paint to be delivered, so in the meantime I decided to start another illustration! It is my first winter drawing of the year!

it still needs some work before I ink it in, but so far, so good
I will be filming the process of this painting too, so within the next few weeks I will have two videos to show ya’ll!! woot!!

okay so thats about it
as I said, not much has been going on in my art world
but now that it was picked up, ill start blogging alot more!

hope ya’ll have a super duper weekend!!
