Holiday Break From School

Well my break from school is almost done and I have done no sewing. As close as I got to it was to page through my Luterloh, and look at cute fashions on a few sites. With the exception of the last four days it seemed more important to just relaxed and enjoy time with the family. With the last four days I decided to draw and enjoy a little time trying to learn Manga and Chibi drawing. So please laugh, and enjoy my trials and errors. The experience has been fun and I think maybe something I will continue to do to relax and release stress. Ah a digital design student that is rediscovering her love for drawing and is a bit rusty. Well new term starts Monday so my sewing just might have to wait until next break.

Checking In.

It's been a little time since I have blogged. Life has been really crazy since I started my pursuit to get my Digital Design degree in the summer of 2011. I am well into my program and now have a three week winter break. Today I found myself on the Lutterloh site looking at the last 4 quarters worth of patterns.  Any way think the sewing bug might hit me once I get the house clean and Christmas set up. In the mean time here are a few pictures from my first drawing class I've taken in many years. No artist yet but find it as enjoyable as sewing.  Hope you all have a safe and enjoyable Holiday season.

These two hut pictures where part of a quick mock up project. We were only to spend about 7 to 10 minutes on each picture.

 This picture was a 15 to 30 minute drawing project. My subject was my eldest daughter. Could never get her mouth right.

These are 3 of my 3 minute quick sketches. The were recognized in class as being good examples. To me they were just fun to do.

Overwhelmed

The hum of the serge and sewing machine have not been heard here all week. Between dealings with home life and the thought that I'm really returning to college with class starting next week I've found myself a bit overwhelmed. And than to add on top of that the idea that it might be time for a new computer. Well you get the picture. So instead of sewing this week I've done a little digging through my patterns and fabric. Maybe next week I'll sew. But this week my mind is filled with the question PC or Mac? Which do you prefer and why? I'm going back to school for Digital Design so a great computer with great graphics is on the top of my to do list. Happy sewing until next time.
