She Who Doodles

My Grandson ask me recently what I do all day.  Now that I'm retired and not working, I feel I don't have to do anything if I choose.   But I realize my family worries about me.  Use it or loose it theory. I just want to do my art, create new things, recycle old. Take nature hikes with my pup, take photos, peruse thrift stores for treasures to doodle.  Enjoy nature, she has so much to share, smells, sounds,  colors its overwhelming at times and I am fortunate to live in the beautiful Northwest where greens are greenest.  We have the ocean a couple hours away,  and snow capped mountains in the other direction.   My daughters live in the area,  and my grandsons are only a couple of miles down the road.  So I get to see as many of their sporting events I can get to.  Football season is especially fun, all three boys play, with my oldest off to college in the fall to play football at EWU .  I get to tag along with my ol...

It's football season again and the three grandsons are all playing.  Two in high school and the third in a local lead, he is in middle school this year.  This last game on Friday was especially exciting, not only did their team win but both boys were on the field at the same time.  One on the line the other receiving.  A first for this proud family.  My grandsons with their mom, my daughter.  Mom and dad were really excited to see them both on the field, and both made plays that got them recognized.   Dad is a defensive coach and the younger grandson is usually on the sidelines as ball boy.   The rest of us are in the bleachers cheering them on.        Me, I'm still doodling.  Only one show left this year, you can see the info on my Events Page .   I've been a little discouraged, sales have not been good this year and I can't decide which way to go next.  Hauling all my art around to...

Not finished yet but the doodle part is done.  Just need to put several coats of Mod Podge on them and cork on the back.  Each coaster has an original hand drawn doodle.  No two the same.  They are a fun little project and if I boo boo  I can wipe it off and start again before I put the clear coat on.  I will be posting these to Etsy as soon as they are finished, at least a couple of them.  I think I will sell them individually rather then as a set.  Well off to the grandsons last football game.  They are playing under the lights for their final game.  The sun is shinning but it is chilly out.  I think I will bundle up. See ya soon, thanks for visiting. Hugs Cyndee
