I had a busy week both on a personal
level as well as at work. It started with a three day family reunion
at our house, which made it challenging to fit some creative time into
my life while entertaining. Nevertheless, I was able to squeeze in a
couple of minutes both on Friday and Saturday.
Day 25: I used the time at the
restaurant when I was waiting with my daughter for the arrival of the
rest of the family to create a sketch of my daughter. I am not happy with the sketch but it was a good exercise. Later, I was
even able to continue my temperature shawl. Now, I only need to knit the
rows for the last 7 days of 2018.
Day 26: While the whole family was at
the fabulous Museum of Nature in Ottawa, I managed to sit down for
two quick sketches. One is of a water bird, while the other is of an
interesting branch in one of the insect habitats.
Day 27: The Winter Sunset Painting
Party was a lot of fun. I enjoyed guiding the participants to
versions of the painting that bring out their uniqueness. After the
event, I felt so energized that I created a heart-filled Valentine’s
painting for the February painting party.
Day 28: In preparation for my next
Cartooning and Drawing Class, I checked out the characters of the
Lego Movie 2. The students had asked to draw a character from the
movie. At the end, I picked the Apocalypseburg Unikitty. I also
created one doodle for my mixed media class and two quick doodles of a snail and a cat which were fun to make
even though they are not very sophisticated. It is important to play, especially when creating art!
Day 29: Tuesday was not my day; a lot
of things went wrong. The snow caused additional delays and
inconveniences. At the end, I only had time to demonstrate the
drawing process for the students of my class.
Day 30: What a nice break after the
messed-up day! I met with two of my friends for an hour of crafting.
This gave me a chance to continue felting my cardinal.
Day 31: On
this last day of the month, I continued felting my cardinal. He is
definitely going to be a big bird but I am excited to see how he will
turn out.
It is already the last day of
January! I managed to create something almost every day.
The accountability of the blog
certainly was an extra encouragement. I will continue with my daily
creative time but will also add some different content to my blog.

I have decided that 2019 will be all about fun and spending time with
old and new friends. I hope that my workshops and painting parties
will help you to improve your skills and create new relationships.
