When I heard the car start up and hubby pulled away, headed for work, I KNEW it was time to be awake. I’m not sure how hubby managed to do his morning without making noise.
Once I was up, I jumped straight into a workout. It’s nice to be back to working out. I didn’t push too hard because I still have a cough lingering but I did workout for 30 minutes.
Next it was time for French. A big shout out to MJ Seal for commenting on yesterday’s post in French. I was excited when I knew what he had said without the help of Google translate. That was the inspiration I needed. I finished the ‘Family 2’ topic and did a few practice runs. Overall it was a solid practice. The next topic is ‘Restaurant’. I will start that next week.
I did the Doodlewash – September 2019 prompt; 14. Buttons. I wanted to draw a doll with button eyes but found it hard to find a picture to reference. I took inspiration from this doll on Pinterest. I sketched the doll sitting in what I felt was a natural position for a doll.
Doodlewash – September 2019 on Three Peas, One Pod
After lunch I got my guitar out and did some practising. I don’t think I’ll be able to play bar chords anytime soon, so I’m thankful for artists who write in the key of G. One great three chord song is by Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats – I Need Never Get Old.
Half way through the practice I decided I needed a pick. I didn’t want to get out from under the blanket to grab one from the guitar case, so I grabbed the closest thing possible, a tiny toy of ‘Primo English ham’. It worked well.
It’s Tuesday so that means it’s new Happy List Day. Most of the list was easy (recycled from last week). The purpose of the list is to do things that will make me feel happier if I do them. There is no punishment or bad feels for not doing the list. It is a happy list after all.
Happy List for the week ending 22 September 2019.
- Make gold in WoW for sub
- Paint
- Start a knitting project

It was a fairly productive day. I just need to work on things a little faster, so I can stuff more creativity into the awake hours.
I hope your day has been productive and peaceful.

Bar chords are the reason I gave up with guitar. My fingers are just too short!

I’ve been struggling with bar chords for 20 years but I love playing so much, I keep trying. xD I hope you’re having a wonderful week.

I love the fact that you keep both your mind and body busy. I love the doll sketch even though I find her eyes and mouth a bit scary 😬😳😏

I’m trying to keep busy. Some days I don’t do so good at it.
Yes, the eyes and mouth were a little bit creepy. The doll I referenced was a little more scary than what I ended up drawing.
Seeing the prompt was buttons, I just had to go with button eyes though. xD

Miss Tilly- j’avouer- I couldn’t remember the French word for frog- so I did use the translator-but more like a dictionary 🙂 Also your drawings with the colored pencils (crayon couleurs?) seem to flow better – they seem less stiff. Keep
Up the good work!

I can’t lie, I looked up the word for ‘frog’ on Google translate the day before you posted! lol But I can still claim I knew what you meant without google that day! xD
Thanks for the words of encouragement. It wasn’t the best art day for me today. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better one.
