Paint Party Friday

It's Friday!!! 
I'm having major issues with time slipping this year....and I  can't believe that Christmas is next week already !!! I have absolutely no decorations up and very few gifts bought..... Scrooge is running rampant through my veins this year :(  Hopefully I'll get it together in a day or so and at least do a marathon shopping event. I'm feeling like decorations are going to be non existent in my house this year. Too little time and not enough energy. 
For this weeks art I took one of the faces from 29 Faces in September 2013...

I added a blue and brown background...


... then painted the face in shades of blue... and proceeded to forget to take that photo :(
I did the rest of the painting leaving her a little darker than I normally do  and I'm calling her..."Feeling Blue" 

Guess she has a little bit of Scrooge in her too :) 
I've also done a few pencil sketches this week and some crochet projects... so I have been busy ..


I also made a big pot of to die for Chile this week.....YUMMY best I've made Chile and I  can't believe it's all gone already :(  It's a blustering 5º out there today and a hot bowl of Chile sounds real good right now. Guess I'll have to make a big pot of soup today to make up for it's loss.

  11. I hear you on the time slipping by-thing. Exactly the same here. I've no decorations up yet, no presents bought, not even written my Christmascards yet (although I plan on doing that tomorrow....) Your new pencil sketches are looking great. I especially like the first two. Great work!

  13. Okay first off don't beat yourself up.... YOU ARE NOT Scrooge...because you made all those crochet hats and sent out card to military folks....we are getting older and we've done a lot of Christmases...had the kids not put up the decorations I'd not be too worried about them either... Less is more now that I'm older!! You have done so much already!! Doing what you want becomes a priority.... make Christmas the way YOU want it to be... buy gift certificates...when in doubt about gifts give money, chocolate, coffee or booze!! One stop shop. It is always welcome and appreciated!! Give yourself a break....relax, stay warn and enjoy the simple moments!!

  17. Scrooge? I doubt it, but I can tell you are feeling behind. I'm glad you got so much accomplished while you were sick, though. I could never have a shopping marathon like that, though. I wear out just visiting three stores and the grocery store. Good luck, though.

    BTW, I love how you changed the gal, but I like the second gal the best (third picture, first pencil sketch).
