#1794 Multi-Tasking

It has been quite busy, as usual here for me these days. I was truly grateful and overwhelmed by everyone’s response to my drawing of Pancakes. It truly makes me feel that I am on the right track with things and I am doing something right. Again – I have to give a huge ‘thank…

#1793 A Lesson from “Pancakes”

When last I left you on Friday, I had began a new artistic adventure. For my first time ever, I was using a new medium (New to me, that is!) in drawing with pastel pencils and blocks. I had seen a video from the very talented wildlife artist, Jason Morgan, in which he shared his…

#1792 Finished the Pumpkin and Started Something New

It is already past my ‘normal blog time’ this morning, so I will get right down to business. I am figuring out that sometimes we need to sacrifice chit-chat for quality content. While I like to sit and muse about the day, my plans and life in general with you all, I am finding that…

#1791 – It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like (Kim) Christmas!

I have always been one of those designers that loves to work on designs from others that I admire. I can’t help it. I see something that someone else creates that ‘speaks to me’ and I can’t help but try to make the time to create it. I look at it as helping support the…

#1790 On the Ninth Day of Christmas . . .

Yesterday was a good day in many respects. Not only did I feel as if I got a bit caught up with things, but I was feeling a bit more like myself again. (My productive self, that is!)  I think the two days away really did me a world of good. Not only was in…

#1789 Back From My Break

“How can you miss me if I don’t go away?” It’s one of those questions that may seem to state the obvious, but few seem to get it. As many of you that follow me know, I have been going through a kind of ‘transition’ all summer long. I have been blogging for what I…

#1788 Catching Up

It is hard to believe that we are already nearly halfway through with the month of October. I don’t know if it is because I have been so busy, or because it is my favorite month of the year, but the days just seem to pass by even more quickly than usual and before we…

#1787 Catching Up

I feel as if I haven’t done you all justice lately. Things have been quite busy here and I have been burning the oil late to try to squeeze more hours from the day. Because of that, something has to give and I find myself not getting up until after 6am in the morning. That…

#1785 A Crime of Passion

(Before anyone gets upset – This is just a fun story!) I awoke this morning just as I did any other ‘normal’ day. It wasn’t quite daylight yet and the sun was just beginning to peek over the eastern horizon. As it gently but persistently began to illuminate the morning sky, I knew it was…

#1784 Settling In

It was a crazy/busy weekend. That means it went perfectly with my crazy/busy life of late. As usual, there is just so much I want to accomplish and only 24 meager hours per day to fit everything in. And for some reason – those hours seem to get shorter every year. I think it is…
