Sunday Sketches

Here's a little idea I'm currently working on.  It's been in my head for several weeks now, but not quite going down on paper as I'd like.  So, we'll see how it transitions here and there, in between the ongoing custom orders over the summer break.  I do envision it eventually being a watercolor to give it that soft, childlike feel.  I'd love to hear your ideas of what to add, change, etc.  :)

On another note, I've been feeling a bit under the weather tonight.  From roommate issues, the stress of my upcoming move (lease is up) and some ongoing pain in the left side of my jaw.   Sigh.  Oh dear me.  Bring on the comfy sofa, throw blankets and the perfect cup of tea.  Uh huh.

I'm looking forward to visiting everyone this week and hope you're all doing well.

  5. I love your little girl and her bunny sketch. it is perfect the way you have it, just waiting for that touch of color that you give so lightly and just right! I sunday afternoons as a young girl, snuggling under comfy quilts like yours, to take a Sunday afternoon nap!

    I am sorry that you are not feeling well tonight. I hope you sleep good and wake up feeling much better tomorrow. You are one talented little lady!!
    thanks again, for sharing your talents and for hosting the Sunday Sketches. I look forward to it each week.

  12. The pain in your jaw is probably a result of stress induced grinding of your teeth at night! A cup of tea...something soothing IS probably in order!

  14. I love the quilt on the bed with child and bunny. Sounds like you might well be drawing yourself in there, as you could use some warm nurturing comfort a soft quilt can give. Hope all these ills right themselves soon.
    Thanks for doing Sunday Sketchers, I sure appreciate it.

  20. What a sweet and cozy looking sketch! It is very pretty. It's odd, but I too have been having pain in the left side of my jaw. Mine is improving though. I've been thinking mine might have been due to grinding my teeth possibly, I don't know. I hope yours feels better soon. Moving stress can also be harsh, I hope that resolves itself positively too.
