My little Pumpkin is sick again

So I haven't had any time to paint. I've been taking good care of the little Toot and making sure she stays warm and comforted. I should be asleep, but this was the only time I had to get online and check up on my Etsy store and make this short post. 
I am pleased to say that I hemmed a new pair of pants for this cold weather. All by hand. It's a good thing! Getting the sewing machine out and threading it takes much longer than just doing it by hand. I managed to do this in the short spurts of time I got while the little one napped. She kept waking with an awful cough. I know she is feeling better because she hasn't coughed in over an hour. 
All is good and getting things done. Everything is getting organized and cleaned. I'm making a schedule for myself to keep the Toot learning new things. A lot of fun projects in store for us. 

Blurry vision...I'm tired, and I need new glasses. Do you recognize the two moscas?

Her first painting

She dove into it like a natural. I'm a proud Mama and I took plenty of photos. By the time I finished taking pictures she had a nice wash going on. I had to stop her before she soaked the whole tablet. The Toot was furious and had quite a dramatic scene for me when I got her off the table.

Fun! New Art Supplies

Yesterday I used my gift certificate to Blick Art Supplies and I was in Wonderland. Oooooh! Aaaaaaah!
I had thought about what I've been wanting to get and found everything I wanted right away. Making some type of sculpture or figurine to hang is the next project I want to tackle. I've got an idea what kind of image I want to create, but I will keep that to myself for now. I also bought some new sizes in watercolor blocks for some more paintings. I am so excited about making new paintings since I got home with my new toys.

I also decided to make a schedule for myself for all the things I have to do since technically I am a WAHM (Work at Home Mom) and Homemaker. I want to make sure I keep my Toot mentally and physically fit. I know I can do it all. I've been reading other WAHM's who have been a moral boost and encouragement for me. I truly appreciate the Internet and Blogs! 

I did enjoy the cloudy and rainy days, even though we've got a couple of leaks on our ceiling that caught us by surprise on the first night of the heavy rains. 

Have a great day! The sun is peeking out as I type. Good Morning Sunshine!

Gals night out

A little something I have been working on in my sketchbook. Two gal pals out for a fun night out. Ready to check out the clubs on the sunset strip. Let's Dance!

I am stopping here. I could go on and on with layers, but I'm ready for a new image. 

These past few days I've been busy cleaning. I feel better when I can start new beginnings with a clean home.

Well, I thought I'd have a few minutes to write, but just as I was getting comfortable, the phone rang and woke up the Toot. She's now asleep on my shoulder as I type. This is not comfortable or easy to do.
 
I'll be back!
