Birthday Surprise

My birthday was last Monday, March 29th. I had a good day... considering my age :-) I turned 45 and I am really happy about it because I didn't really like the number 44. There was just nothing special about it.

I got many nice gifts, but received this extra special one today from my daughter who is away in University. It is called a Wordle and it is crafted by hand not by computer, which is the normal medium. I love it! It will always be very special to me.






















I did get some creativity achieved this weekend. I was looking through the inspiring online shop of Creative Every Day Mentor, Leah, and I just got antsy to spend time in my studio. So down to my studio I went. I received a new felting machine for my birthday from my family, so I decided to try it out. I have a couple of pieces on the go now and have discovered the machine is a lot of fun... and  lot easier on my tennis elbow, which has been plagueing me for some time.

Here is a photo of one of the pieces I am working on. It is Northern Lights...

Enjoy!

Art Every Day Month. Here is my second art day. I decided to just have fun with my pencil crayons. I'll probably do that a lot this month. Every doodle or drawing or sketch I make, I keep. Then when I need ideas I always have something to fall back on... or move forward with. I'm sure many artists do this. I've even gotten inpsiration from my grade ten sketch book... and yes that was a long time ago!!!
