First Sketches of the New Year

I'm up early and ready for the day this morning. It is very cold and the roads are snow covered so I am happy to stay indoors and work play a bit. The first thing I did this morning was to try the 30-second option at Posemaniacs. Too little time and this poor woman looks a bit bumpy and quite large in the bottom, but it did help to loosen me up for the face I found on Google Images.

I took a day off from the treadmill yesterday and am anxious to get on it today. I am hoping to jog for 45 minutes to an hour. 

I had Miss Z overnight on New Year's Eve and managed to get a few pix to share. She is changing so rapidly and is starting to make recognizable sounds. I am convinced she says "thank you" when you give her something, and she said "Nana" a couple of times. I'm not sure that is what she was trying to say, but I loved it anyway.

She is "hugging" the baby in the book and making the appropriate "awww" sound.

She has a big personality.

She is growing up way too fast.

I still haven't received the wonderful art that I am planning to have a drawing for, but this time of year the post is slow and especially when it is coming from overseas. I will give a hint - think Andrea Joseph!! I'm getting anxious to see this treasure in person and will post a picture and announce the giveaway rules as soon as I receive it.

I'm just on my first mug of coffee and need to get this day started. I am hoping to spend a bit of time each day doing some kind of art this year and hope you are finding time also.

Happy New Year!!
