MSED: Bird a Day #101 Book Quote Bird

The prompt for today was to flip to a random page in a book at hand and make something inspired by the first sentence you read. The book on hand was one that was recommended to me by a dear friend, called; Dear Heart Come Home, The Path of Midlife Spirituality by Joyce Rupp.

I was playing around with the idea of adding color but know I don't know if it needs it. What do you think?

...or Birds of a Sweater Sock Together... I know, groan. You knew I had to get knitting in this blog somewhere. When I'm not drawing, painting, blogging, or surfing, I am knitting. Ok, I do other stuff too but I have the most fun doing these things.

MSED: Bird a Day #82 Perched Upon Linda's Hollyhocks

I have a friend, one that I have never met in person. She lives on the opposite side of the Atlantic ocean from me. She was one of the first followers on Marika Makes (if not the first). So she holds a special place in my heart. She likes to garden and grows her own vegetables and has the most lovely hollyhocks (in a secret garden). Recently she told me that she retired from her job this year after 25 years of service. So Linda, this card is for you. May the blue bird of happiness sing perched upon your hollyhocks forevermore.

My First Blog/Make Something 365

I am on a quest to be more creative. Today I decided to go to my local art supply store and see what inspired me. This is my take home.

The Nexus pens are going back; they are all dried up. I am really excited about the book though! It is "A Daily Creativity Journal 365 Make Something Every Day and Change Your Life!" by Noah Scalin. The daily prompts are just what I need to get going. Hey, he already got me to start a blog.
