Drawing class with Lucas

I've always wanted to draw but I never really thought I could. I'm more of a doodler than a drawer, until now.

I decided to teach myself how to draw, once and for all. So I tried drawing the one thing I always carry with me, my iPhone. And of course, Lucas decided to join in the fun! This is his take on my iPhone. I helped with the outline but the buttons are all his.

Then he wanted to make a ninja, an alien and his sister's stuffed puppy. And at that time he was posing as our model, Puppy was playing tea party with Leila so of course we had to draw the cup of tea and the yummy cupcake.

So we are making progress. Everyday, we will draw at least one thing and see how much better we get in a month or so.

That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by.

And the blogging begins!

So, I am finally taking the plunge into this wonderful world of blogging. I love reading blogs, I get so many ideas and inspiration that I decided I should join in the fun.

My goals for this blog is really just to express my creativity and share what I have to offer. I love the idea of crafting but with a full time job, two little ones to care for, and a home to manage with my husband, I really have absolutely no time to spend crafting. But somehow I find little pockets of time, mostly when my super supportive husband takes our kids to visit their grandma. It's not a lot of time, but it's precious to me so I take it every chance I get.

So maybe the title of this blog should be Downtime Crafting, because really, that's all I have time to do. But I won't give in to that thought. I really believe I will eventually have time to do crafts, sew, draw or any other DIY I find on pinterest and the other blog I follow. Despite the lack of time though, I am able to complete projects I set my mind to doing. I made all the holiday presents for girlfriends, sister, sisters-in-law and my kids' teachers. They're little projects but I set my mind to it and got it all done. And I started it the day after Thanksgiving. Whew! I'll never do that again!!! Note to self, start working on Christmas gift making in June.

That is all for now. Thanks for stopping by.
