A New Past Time
The past four months my husband and I were in Georgia we didn't have a lot to do. We didn't really know anyone and didn't have a lot of spending money. Drawing seemed like a fun idea, and I'm so glad I've taken it up. It's been really good for my patience, Lord knows I need to work on that :) But it truly has been fun. And I enjoying being able to do it with my husband. I also love the fact that you can draw anywhere, especially outside. It's a bit more portable than sewing. Plus I found some really great instruction books that are great- so many things I wouldn't have thought about. Anyhow, there you have it, my new hobby.

What a neat hobby! I love portable things like this, because sewing is so difficult to take with you. I recently started doing some embroidery because it is more portable than sewing.
Do you plan on staying in Georgia for awhile? (Maybe you don't want to share that with a complete stranger:) I can totally understand how you feel though about some of that. My husband and I moved two years ago, and it was really hard adjusting to the new city and not knowing anyone.
The drawing idea is wonderful and so are your drawings! When we were first married I shared my love of drawing with my husband. We seemed to have so much time and not a lot of money. It's always either or. The day I was just starting labor with our first child I was out doing errands and bought my husband a treat. His OWN colored pencils, a huge fold out box of them. Lots of years later we still have those same colored pencils. Somehow there just was'nt time any longer to doodle away a day. Enjoy every minute of it and keep at it, your drawings are lovely!
I really like your drawings Vanessa!!
