Collage & Scarf

Instead of making myself crazy in the new year to “try” to get back into my usual weekly blog hops, I’m on a bi-weekly rotation for TAD and Wednesdays.  This gives me a two day posting week, Mondays (always) and today.  Next week, I’ll take TAD off to share my mid-week memories and photos series from our vacation last fall. 

I hate skipping out on a challenge when it’s given, so I’ll do my best on my on-days to present two illustrations for Rain’s Kitchen & Garden TADs.

Last week’s prompt was collage.  I used a free online photo-editors to create a collage using some of my artwork.

Today Rain inspires us to use ‘scarf’ in our artwork.  It’s a coincidence that one of my illustrations in the collage could’ve worked but I wanted to create a new drawing using this week’s theme which is purely optional.  Rain welcomes all creative endeavors, so don’t let that stop you from joining in on the fun. 😉  Anyway, I am sharing two new Procreate designs.  That’s what happens when put my passion aside for months on end.  I’m stoked to be back doing what I most enjoy!

Can you guess where the snowman got the scarf?

I’m concerned about my iPad’s battery.  It’s really old and isn’t holding a charge well.  I’m afraid it’s going to kaput on me and then I’ll be in a mad panic to get a replacement.  I hope she can hold off until after the April A to Z Challenge and Apple’s release of their new iPads for the year. That’s not too much to ask for, is it? 🙂

Last September while on vacation, we ate at Polly’s Pancake Parlor in Sugar Hill, NH. We loved Polly’s! After we got back I found the recipe online but didn’t get a chance to make them until recently. A few days ago, I made a second batch. DH said that this time around was even better than the first. I remembered to snap a picture.

Let me finish up with a couple of “Thankfuls”.  The first and most exciting thankful is our son and his wife are first-time expecting parents.  The due date is sometime in September.  They will make great parents.  My second thankful is I got a good report on my eyes.  Optical nerves healthy, vision basically 20/20 with my current prescription, and the small cataracts grew only slightly in the past six months.  No return visits until next year. Yay!  That’s it for today.  Up next, you’ll find me boogieing on Monday’s Music Moves Me dance floor and you’re invited to the party.  This is CAAC signing off,  have a doodletastic day!
