On November 26, I made the works!

Turkey, dressing, sweet potato casserole, rolls, etc.!
Of course we had way too much food and we were very thankful. I didn't get a picture though and the evidence was destroyed!
Something else I try to make all the time--a list of what I'm thankful for. God is so good and we are so blessed, I have a long list and at the very top is Jesus Christ and the salvation He provides to all who believe in Him. My dear family and friends, my home and freedom to worship are also at the head of my list.
I hope you all had a very thankful Thanksgiving!

On November 25, I made pies!

Getting ready for Thanksgiving!

These are chocolate with real whipped cream and pecan cheesecake pie. And yes, someone had already gotten into one of them:o)

On November 24, I made a Picasso!

Today we began the chapter on space in my 2D Design class and we looked at the Cubists painters, including Picasso. We have to take an object and draw it from multiple perspectives. Our teacher said, "This should be fun!"

Now I've never been a fan of Picasso because I just didn't get it. But when I walked around the room drawing without any thought of "getting it right," I found out it WAS fun!

These are my sketches for the project we will finish next week, so you may see at least one of these again. The first one is a birdhouse and a bowl of fruit, the second is from a bust of a woman. I had to tell you, I know you wouldn't get it otherwise!

On November 23, I made a bag!

My hands have been itching for fabric since doing my "monster" last week, so tonight, with a few free minutes, I gave in and stiched up a bag. It's made of denim and was originally a jumper for one of my daughters that I never finished, abandoned years ago when she was small. I've been wanting to make more bags for the grocery store and this seemed to be calling out to me. I added some blue and white plaid around the top to dress it up a bit and I really like it. I may have to use it as a purse!

On November 22, I made designs!

After a busy, tiring weekend, I unwound with a few minutes of stress-free abstract design. This is done in my new sketchbook with colored pencils. I have a feeling I will be doing more of these.

On November 20-21, I made someone smile!

We had our grandchildren over the weekend while their parents took a little trip to watch the Alabama game in Tuscaloosa. And with faces like this to look at, who could think about drawing? Not me.

On November 19, I made complements!

Complementary colors, that is! In class today, as an exercise for the chapter on color, we had to take a picture from the textbook and paint it in complementary colors. Not just complementary colors, but also the opposite in warm/cool AND tint/shade. It was a brain-stretcher.

Unfortunately I didn't get a picture because my batteries died in my camera. As soon as I can get a picture, I will update this. But I posted so you would know I made something today!
