First off, The Kid decided to run and go and tripped and fell. She hit her elbow on her door frame. There’s a small cut that she took forever to let me clean and bandage, but she’s gonna be in more pain tomorrow from whacking it at high speeds on a door jam.

We left the house today to run some errands and came home to find my dog ACQUIRED A HAM BONE AND LEFT BITS AND PIECES THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE.

I have to go back to work tomorrow after two glorious days off, only to have to deal with my least favorite time of the week. It’s a time consuming task and basically takes all day.

The Hubs got me a diamond painting kit that includes ten small (3in x 3in) canvas based on space.

Paint Gem

It took me too days but I finished the first one and I’m hooked. Now, if I can stop losing the little “diamonds”.

My sister said she didn’t know what to get me and ended up fueling my addiction to stationary getting me a nice leather journal and pens. I want to start writing in it but I don’t want to ruin it with my usual nonsense. I’ll think of something good.

My truck hasn’t been started in like five days and I’m sure, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it’ll be freezing in there. Honestly I’ll be surprised if she starts.

Yes it’s a she.

I’m gonna start working on the next drawing challenge soon, but I wanna do some research on the topic first. And plan for the video’s content. If I’m gonna keep doing it I need to at least improve.

These last few days of very little stress have been a beacon of joy for me. I have had slightly less tummy issues, and it’s nice to not have to worry about work. And knowing the holiday season is over (except, that is, for the clearance) just makes me happy.

Hope you all have a good night.

Art of the Day

art, dr who, gifts, painting, tardis

One of the many other things, besides writing and words, I love is art. I am not an expect on famous artists or works, although I could pick out a Monet when tasked with it. But I like to make it. I don’t profess to be much of an artist, I simply like to say i enjoy making it. I enjoy making it the most, when I am proud of it.

So for today’s post, I share with you my Valentine’s day gift to my husband. This year I didn’t have a lot of money to spend on him, and I know he would have been fine without a gift. But I also knew that he already had me something, and I don’t feel right about not returning the favor. Also, I think there is nothing better that a thoughtful well made gift.

He is a HUGE Dr. Who fan, and and I’d had the idea for this painting for a long time. The good was to make it appear that the Tardis was in space, surrounding by stars. I tried a few techniques, but eventually settled on using a few spray bottles and some watered down acrylic paints. Five hours and a lot of spattered paint later, and it was perfect.

Now, I don’t get that moment often, but I had a moment when I made one final messy spray of black paint when I paused in awe, and said, “it’s finished.” It was an amazing moment! That moment and the happiness and pride that came from it is why I’m sharing my painting on a writing blog!
