Yesterday, Saturday, I had what can only be described as a low energy day. I was up early to feed the dogs, but I was not ready to be awake, so we all went back to bed when they were done with their morning activities for some hurkle durkle time. I looked at my phone for a little while before I fell back to sleep. Fortunately, MT woke me up when he left around 10. I say fortunately because I wanted to participate in a Zoom call with Jill the Artist at 11:00. It was quite fun. There were about 10 of us on the call, and the theme was "summer." We recalled summer memories, favorite summer foods, etc. and doodled what we heard. I liked hearing the stories and drawing stuff. Even as I look at my scribbles now, I am smiling.
After the call, I took a nap.
MT came home and brought some burgers from 5 Guys. It was good; I was really hungry.
After I ate, I took a nap.
Low energy day.
In the evening, I sat out on the deck, drank a cold beer, and read. Stella insisted on some frisbee tosses, so I did that, too, and scattered kibbles for the big dogs to sniff for. I enjoyed that hour or so.
At night I did art. I made my wee calendar for July, and I also made the zine for July.

Dog Days zine! |
I started on the bottom with the dogs, and they are all pretty small, getting progressively bigger as you go to the top because I was getting tired of drawing dogs LOL. I kinda wish I'd done it a little differently, but mostly I really like it.
So yeah, resting my mind and body on Saturday was just what I needed. I didn't leave the house at all that day, and it suited me just fine, thank you very much. I felt fine, physically, like I don't have a cold or anything like that, but I was just straight up tired.
ART GALLERY TIME!
Here are some of my little art projects from June. I don't think I've shown these here, but if I have, thanks for having another look.
First up, a couple of thank you cards I made for two co-workers who gave me gifts for my birthday:
thanks for the Dutch Bros gift card! |
thanks for the beautiful paints! |
These next offerings are all Jill Badonsky prompts:
Jill provided a bunch of words and our assignment was to combine a couple and come up with something. I had some scrapbook paper that I cut freehand stars from, and put them in a vase, filling in some spaces with glitter pen stars that I drew.
