Was looking at the sky and started thinking ( I know a dangerous task) of who is looking at it at the same moment...

Day 176

In the midst of this day I just wanted to be a mermaid...  So.. I dyed my hair LOL  for a boost.
Still miffed at Clairol for discontinuing my color (raspberry creme) but Garnier had Pomegranate color that turned out really nice, So i think I found my new color! And yes- I am RED hot!

Day 174 Thinking

Thinking a lot about people and how they are.  Everyone  and everything. Especially men. How they appear like knights and end up being  ....  need I say more?

Day 174 Wii gone again

Yep the refurbished one had to be returned...  kept on shutting off.
The office looks as if a tornado hit it... makeshift walls down, boxes all over, can't wait till the move in a week.
Quick sketch for today as mother nature let me down. I was expecting a lovely lightning show , camera on tripod ready to go and nothing. It will probably happen at 3 am.

Day 172 Feeling loved

By Toni the lovebird that is. She has been calling for me all day and finally for the first time in the 3 years that she has been with me she spent 10 min with me , sitting on my shoulder and not flying away. A vast improvement. She still ended up flying away but she didn't make me chase her, she allowed me to catch her immediately and put her back in her cage.

Day 170 Happy Father's Day

Had a wonderful day with the parents and Dad was the center of attention. In between the coffees and meals I went to pick up my paintings, and did some sketches that I later on used my ink and watercolors to complete.  I chose the east wall, right where the kitchen meets the dining room.  Drew the Iconostasis (Icon holder) and I have a hand bronze scale with fruit in it hanging between the kitchen and dining room.

Day 169 Outside

I sat at my parents terrace today and did some sketches:

The 2 art museum sketches were the actual work today the other 2 were warm ups.  The Museum one that is closer was my first sketch. Then I did the actual distance one and I feel it looks better.

Day 167 Recycling

Mom has these gorgeous fish earrings that are way too big for her. She wanted me to wear them but clip earrings bother me. So I thought I would make them into a gorgeous big pin.

It is setting right now so I will take a picture tomorrow to show how it looks worn but I am thinking I won't return this to mommy and keep it for services rendered!

Day 166 I felt the eclipse

Plus the full moon. I was grateful for people who posted pictures as we didn't get to see it on the East coast. Typical full moon drama around too all around -thank goodness it was around and not ME!  I enjoyed a yummy cup of coffee on the terrace this evening and did some sketching again :

Day 165 Same all...

Office will be moving probably 4th of July weekend. Today they moved my desk and a few others to the new space. Tough to concentrate, but got a lot done.  Spent a wonderful evening with BFF and Sis and ran late for my creativity LOL but here it is:

Day 164 Feeling down

I hope its because of the upcoming full moon and lunar eclipse that I am feeling this way. But I couldn't shake it off today. I am beating myself up  for not paying attention. Not paying attention to when I feel sleepy, when I am hungry or when I just need a break. I don't hear the signals because my mind is cluttered with fears, with what ifs...  and it never ends. Today I was upset that my alarm didn't go off in time for me to fit in my Zumba, and then because I didn't pack enough healthy foods and ate pretzels at work (the soft kind). After that I spiraled  :(   So I am heading off to bed a bit earlier so I can get myself back on track.

Trapped

My sister thought that was a 3 year old - point made.
I am pretty sure that is a chocolate demon... *sigh*
