Working on a painting

I have been so busy! I am working on a custom painting for my cousin. (and working 40+ hours, cooking, needing to sew, spending time with Sean, ect) I love painting though and I am so glad that I have continued to do it after high school and that Sean encourages me to do it. It is a wonderful creative outlet. This particular painting is of my cousin's daughter Ashley. 

First thing I do is sketch out the picture.  I only sketched out Ashley because the rest of the picture is easy to do with a paint brush.

Saturday

Saturday is my favorite day. I wake up when I want to and I will sit on the couch with the Bible and read God's word with the blinds open. It is something I just recently started doing on Saturdays but I am enjoying the peace and quiet of my morning devotion. This morning I read 1 Peter 2:9-12 "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of the darkness into His wonderful light." What a breath of fresh air!
I have many things to do today! Wash some new fabric, MAJOR GROCERY SHOPPING must be done today! Babysit 4 darling girls for a couple hours, wash car and put it on Craigs list, and hang out with the Seanster. And hopefully I will get a bit of sewing done. I have a special order that needs to be received before July 4th! Well we will see how the day goes!!
