Here's a doodle from my meetings today. As I'm looking at her, I can almost imagine a shoulder her hair is draped over. This was done quickly with a sharpie. I wonder what kind of ink would help her to scan better. I'd really like to use her in some different ways. I'm wondering if less detail in her would be good. Sometimes, I think I'd like to have stamps made of my ladies. I haven't come close to posting all the ladies I've drawn. I would imagine it would be expensive and I can't afford one of those machines to make my own stamps, sigh.


Wow, has it been hot! I'm grateful I don't live farther east. My goodness they've been really hot. Well the postman was very nice today. He brought some soft body acrylics for me to play with! I can't wait until this weekend so I can play with them. Believe me, it will be very hard to wait until then. In the mean time, I finished a prayer shawl and a pair of baby booties for donation. I'm working on another pair of booties but different crochet pattern. It's fun to make things however, I have no babies in the family at the moment so our church donates these things and now I have an excuse to make them, yea! I also completed a little box for holding 3x3 notecards which are waiting to be made. I'm also working on another larger box with drawers and dividers, wow big time now. Okay maybe not but I've been more active this week then I have for awhile. I finally have some energy to push through my depression which I haven't for awhile. I'm getting tired of it and I'm sure others must be too but it is a fact of my life. I'm gaining more insight into it. During the summer, I miss alot of church yet I'll show up for other things. Well if nobody misses me or I haven't made a commitment, it's easier to fade away, kind of like what I do with this blog. I do get weary of it and I get tired of fighting it but I know in the end it'll be worth it so I keep trying. I think I'm getting to be the queen of run on sentences here, ugh. Good thing I posted a drawing so there's at least one interesting thing on this post. At the moment this is probably more to amuse myself. That's okay. At least if I'm only amusing myself, I'm not creating any victims other than me. If you've stopped by and got to the end of the post, thanks. If you hurried and skipped through, well, there's no need to apologize, you've already left. Well, will write later. I think I'm going to go find ice water and get some sleep.
