Time Flies!

I can't believe I haven't posted a word or a picture since March.  March was here and gone, then April...completely was covered up with music lessons for my boys, and physical therapy for me, which I share a little about below.  I didn't get to post a picture we did in our home school co-op class of, a bird holding an umbrella.  It was really cute, and the kids just loved it.  :(   And now, May is just about to end. Has your life been so busy, that it has flown by too?  What do you need to say NO, to?  NO, is a powerful word.  Ladies and Gentlemen, we can only do so much.  I am learning, that I do have limitations, and so do you.

I need to remember to slow down and smell the flowers. I hope you will slow down too.  The little things in life are really the big things in life, aren't they?  I don't want to take a day, or a person for granted.

Just wanted to post a little face today.  I used watercolors and a fine sharpie marker for the details on this little girl.  Can't wait to sit down with my watercolors again.  I need to finish a cat picture I started for a study I will be teaching this summer in my studio, on Laurel Burch.

Can't wait to share what has been going on and why I disappeared from blog land.  For one thing, I had to start physical therapy for my hip, it's a long story, so I won't bore you with that.  I walk with a limp because of a minor, I mean itty bitty tear in my hip.  I am doing better, but had to slow down and remove some activities from my calendar.    I will be posting classes for the month of June, within a day or two from now. Good things.  Good memories  create.

Wanted to take a moment and Thank all the courageous men and women and their families who have served our country. They fought for freedom, and loved this country enough to lay down their life for it.  We remember you and honor you this Memorial Day Weekend and say "thank you" for serving our  great country.  May God Bless each and everyone of you, and may God Bless America.

Love, 

Meagan

The Art of Wild Abandonment...Blog HOP 2012

Blog Hop-2012

Greetings Ladies-Hope you will enjoy my journey in the workshop THE ART OF WILD ABANDONMENT...


I am so excited to a part of my very first BLOG HOP.  I am sitting here writing during a thunderstorm in Southern Indiana.  We have a metal roof and the rain is just pounding down on us right now.  I do believe if this carries on, we will not be getting much sleep tonight! 

The Home Schooled Radishes

I must say I have LOVED this class with Junelle Jacobsen and Christy Tomlinson So MUCH.  It has opened my mind to sketch the darndest things...Radishes...REALEE...I laughed my booty off when I found out, we were going to be sketching radishes!  I would take my sketch book, pencils and my water color crayons with me everywhere I would go, just in case I had a down moment that I could sneak a sketch.  Oh yes, then, I'd be all giddy inside as I pulled out my baggy of radishes.  My boys think I've lost my mind somewhere, as they would catch meLAUGHING for no apparent reason!  I had no idea, that sketching radishes would become such a wonderful, rewarding, engaging...way of gathering my thoughts or ideas, and it started in the garden with a RADISH!!!  This makes my heart H A P P Y....as I am swinging from the chandelier singing...hahaha, just kidding about the swinging from the chandalier...but you get the idea.
