Online I’ve been busy too:
http://www.sketchbookskool.com – we signed up for the ‘Beginnings’ sessions. Loving it so far but then the first instructor is Danny Gregory —so what’s not to love? He makes making art so easy.
http://homemade-modern.com – This clever fellow! Discovered his simple easy-to-make-without-power tools coffee maker and had to make one. I tried a stainless steel funnel first and while it worked well, the monkey mind wanted a glass funnel for filtering and what the monkey mind wants . . . .Then I found a small glass drip bowl (only took making, and removing, one cup to realize a drip catcher would be a good thing) at the local dollar store which lessened the pain of purchasing the glass funnel from Amazon.ca (ouch when the shipping is added). I love, love, love this kinky little coffee maker!
http://www.theydrawandcook.com – So there isn’t much I can say about this site. I mean come on! They draw and they cook. Does it get any better?
http://www.grammarly.com/blog/ – This is a sweet spot for writers. Excellent unexpected articles on just about everything and they have this most helpful grammar-checking (bad grammar?) program. Worth a snoop around.
And when I haven’t been doing any of the above, or writing, I’ve been enjoying a cuppa here and watching the plants harden off for outside planting
and go over the plans for a bedroom wall mural after watching the short video and reading the article The Mountain Mural over at http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/
