Watercolors

I had some down time while I was off for President's Day on Monday and I got some painting done. I never took painting classes in college but I've always enjoyed watercolors. The first one is based on my friend and her two pugs. The second one is a painting version of the sketch I posted last week.  

I'm really happy that I have been getting back into drawing and painting. Don't get me wrong-- I love crafting, sewing, and knitting, but it's been nice to create some art outside of the examples I draw for my students :)

Recent DIY Ventures

Since school has started up I have been super busy planning lessons, getting my classroom organized, and the like. In the evenings and on weekends I have been working on a few projects of my own. I recently started playing around with embroidery-- just basic stitches on some remnants fabric.

Here is my first attempt:

I think You're foxy

Here is another fun little project that I have been working on. I picked up some cheap frames for a couple of dollars each and decoupaged them with some pretty scrapbook paper! I framed some of my work. I'm not sure if I will hang them up in my office/crafting space or bring them into school to show my students some of my work.
