Totally awesome quotation I loved , just had to share it with you.  Proverbs, no matter who they come from, are some of my faves ever.
So, let’s talk faves this week.  Favourite moments this week that brought about sunshine that is.  I just love going through my week and finding things to be grateful for.
1. An extra night off…thanks hubs.
2. painting side by side with my little mini me artist.
3. Corn chowder.  Mmmm
4. Second hand store shopping.
5. Sweet comments on my art.  Thank you everyone!
6. New glasses.
7. 40% off coupons.
8. Finding a great new-to-me poet, Mary Oliver (thanks Duff).
9. Watercolour painting.
10. Getting a pencil portrait sketch done.
There are a few things I can point out that I don’t like about the portrait I drew but all in all I have to say it’s pretty good.  One of the things I want to seriously take a step up with is my portraits.  The only way to get better is by doing them so I thought I’d try to get one done every week.  Sure that may not be tons, but it’s more then I would typically do and I have to start somewhere while leaving time to do other things.
Cheers,
B

About B

Brianne is a Canadian gal who loves living in a small town nestled at the base of the Rockies. Her full time job pays with hugs, kisses, and other such joys since she is a stay at home mama; she loves it. When tiny heads hit their pillows during naps and bedtime Brianne scampers off to grab a few moments of creating or some quiet time with her husband who is pretty good about her love affair with her sewing machine and dolls. Brianne’s first love was sewing, but even at that it was only discovered a couple years ago. A few short months ago Brianne ventured into a new addiction, doll making; she never expected to fall in love with the creating of each doll quite the way that she has. For the time being Brianne and her sewing machine have put aside sewing clothes to focus on her doll making.
