Day 3 - AEDM & Nablopomo - #34 sketch

YAWN!!! 

I'm feeling quite tired for some reason 

and it's only early evening. 

Last night, we had an overnight guest. 

My son, Beau, and his house-mate, Steven,
were attending a house-warming party 

and had planned to stay overnight. 

So, Steven's dog came to stay with us for the night.

She is a German Shepherd/American Staffy Mix, 

if I remember rightly, and she is SO sweet!

Unfortunately, we had to keep her separated from our fur-boys. 

All she wanted to do was play with them but, 

Cody gave her a wide berth and, 

Jack refuses to tolerate other dogs on his turf
and Lexi was no exception. 

He wanted to have her for dinner!! 

Too funny being that she's more than twice his size.

Anywhoo, Lexi became sketch #34 of 75 pen/ink sketches.

Let me state right here and now that 

I haven't done this beautiful girl justice.

In reality, she is slimmer in the cheek areas of her face.

Despite my tiredness, 

we are planning a movie night and, 

no doubt, I'll fall asleep at the crucial point.

Just love it when that happens...NOT!

Enjoy your weekend!

Day 2 - AEDM & NaBloPoMo - Succulent sketch

It's been lovely and quiet on the home-front today.

I still have a stiff neck so I took some medication to help. 

Brad and I watched a couple of Charmed episodes 

while I rested.

There's been quite a strong wind outside all day so 

I brought my Aeonium Saucer Plant indoors to sketch.

AEDM/NABLOPOMO - More challenges

YAY!!!

I completed Blogtoberfest which 

was a challenge to blog daily throughout October.

NOW,

it's Art Every Day Month (AEDM) & 

National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) 

for November.
If you want to find out more,
you will find the links under the
'Where I Play' section of my sidebar.

SO,
for November

I'm continuing with my 75 day pen/ink sketch challenge.

I babysat Mikayla today which 

truly was the best medicine for me. 

I had woken up foggy-brained with neck stiffness 

after the tension migraine I had yesterday. 

I adore my little granddaughter who 

will be turning two in December. 

We have lots of fun together and 

she helps me forget about the aches and pains.

Not long after Michelle dropped Mikayla off, 

we went outside to water the pot plants 

under the pergola. 

Well, she spotted a chicken ornament 

and it was love at first sight. 

Mikayla carried that ornament around 

for the rest of the day, 

cradling it in her arms like a baby. 

On waking from her afternoon nap, 

the first thing she wanted was, 

"Chicken"!

So I decided to sketch it for

#32 of the 75 day pen/ink sketch challenge.
