No Soliciting Sign & other misc art!

No Soliciting

at this bright, happy, yellow cottage!

I'd been meaning to make a cute little sign to laminate and post in the window.

(If a solicitor passes the others, on the fence and by the doorbell.)  

I'll be honest.

I seriously thought about making a gory one (like a bear ripping a solicitor apart),

but decided against it, for the children's sake.Below, my work space-- kitchen table, Lucy asleep on a platter, oodles of markers and pens nearby. Someday I'd love to have my own little studio to Artsy Up, but I'm not holding my breath. ;)

This is fine and dandy for now.

The boys posed with their pumpkin art yesterday, before the storms rolled through:

In the evening, as storms started rolling through, I felt ridiculously energized, as if the lightning was coursing through my veins. There was an itch-- an ache-- to draw, make, design, paint SOMETHING.

And so I did.

While Fred and I watched Bond movies, he folded clothes and I drew and drew...and drew...

Here are a couple of the pages from my sketchbook.

Just journaly-doodly things. The one above isn't complete yet.

 There's something so soothing about letting your pen move, and letting ideas and images flow out.
