hello again

Here I am again apologizing, but mostly to myself. I have been neglecting my blog for a very long time. That is not how I wanted it to be. But due to personal life that has been busy, stressful and frustrating at times I haven't had a chance to sit down and plan my blogging. I don't know how some of you do it - combine personal life with virtual. Not going too lie I feel quite embarrassed because I know great consistent bloggers who are working regular every day jobs, being a parent and (clearly) a blogger. I guess I'm still in a learning process.
Anyways,  here are few things that's been going on lately in my life: 
- took me awhile to recover from wisdom teeth extraction
- husband quitting his job (very sudden decision)
- the renovation on the house isn't over yet, which delays the move, which really sucks
- we had to postpone (once again) getting my license and the test done
- Ethan has been very difficult lately, I have no doubt he hit terrible twos
- I started packing and it's overwhelming
- had to sell few things, our camera included...that hurts the most
- and etc. aka small thing here and there that drive me crazy...I feel like I'll never get things done.

The only way for us to visit internet world is the tablet Ian got for me on Mother's Day. The best part of it is drawing apps. Getting used to digital drawing and so far its a lot of fun. 

Just FYI it took me a week to finish this post lol

And here's something I'm working on


That's all I can share for now. Hope every one is doing well!

Ice cream illustration

WoW! It has been forever. Having a hard time to make the post even now, since I'm in lots of pain after I got my wisdom teeth pulled on Tuesday. All four of them. O_o Feeling so uncomfortable. Not going into the details of how I was coming out of anesthesia, but it was awful. Leah (who was taking care of me and Ethan that day) said it was like a horror movie. 
But back to something pleasant - the art. I haven't painted anything in so long, it felt good to have some time to use paints and brushes again. Here's a first part (work in progress) of my mini "sweet" project I started on a week or so ago.

There will be three illustrations in total for my three very cool looking frames I found back in December (yeah, I know..they have been waiting for some action to happen for forever). Just hoping I'll have time to finish it soon enough. 

Hope you all doing good!

Circles everywhere

I got a great gift for my birthday. Even though I "requested" it, I still was as excited about it as if I wouldn't know what it was. Art supplies are always on my wish list. That is why my heart sang when I unwrapped my present :)

New stuff like that makes me all happy and inspired. So last night I had a productive night of doodling. I got to use my new watercolor (in tubes) and they are amazing. Very concentrated  rich colors....I love it. From now on will be buying new paint only in tubes. And here are the results: 

 Mainly I used sharpie, so writing about my watercolors seems irrelevant haha but I'm experimenting using both lately and so far I'm liking the way things turn out.

Watercolor doodles

I am one blessed woman with a great kid that actually lets me have my own time here and there to do things I love.
