Sleep Deprivation and Photos

I am seriously sleep deprived. Miss 8 and Miss 4 have the reputation of sleeping in quite late on the weekends, but not while at my house. On both Saturday and Sunday they were up before 8:30. And Little Miss 7 months (who arrived just after the Lions beat the Vikings in sudden death overtime) is teething and has a seriously runny nose and was up at 1:45 am and 3:00 am and up at 6:00 am.

She is napping right now and I suppose I should be also, but I've had my two mugs of coffee and am thinking about breakfast. I have lots of art to do today - a couple of assignments for the Artful Journaling class and more work on my watercolor work in progress. I have the baby until about 3 this afternoon after which I plan to do some painting.


For now, I have some photos to share:

My girls each chose a journal and did some sketching.

This is one of the things Miss 8 was drawing.

Here are my "big" girls helping to take care of baby Zoë.

I started this blog post about 1 1/2 hours ago, but blogger hasn't been cooperating and baby hasn't been cooperating, so I will finish here.

I need to go wash bottles and clean up from breakfast while she is back down and hopefully sleeping.

I hope to have some art for you tomorrow.

EDiM Finished

It is hotter than blazes and I really should get on the treadmill, but I am procrastinating. I grounded myself to my art room until I got the last three of the EDiM challenges done and I am ready to post them. I've changed the name of my journal from "Every Day in May" by adding "and more" to it. I've downloaded the next challenges from the Everyday Matters site and will try to do more. Here is what I have to show today - I like bits of them, but not all of them.

I am hoping to get up the nerve to start putting some color on the adirondack drawing today. I think I want to put in the shadow colors first, but am not sure - so I continue to just think about it instead of doing it.

I spent about 5 hours at the son's house with the new baby last evening - and once I cleaned us up from her massive spitup spill, we had a ball. Here are a couple of pix:

I hope to have some art to share tomorrow - maybe I will bite the bullet and put some color on the watercolor pencil WIP.
