It’s the Thanksgiving holiday weekend here in Canada, and our house has been smelling so good all day, with that lovely scent of roast turkey. The only problem? We had salmon for dinner! Not that the salmon was a problem – it was delicious – but my taste buds were hankering for turkey (but ask [...]

The Big Draw – Day 10; Three Beautiful Things
Haven’t had a chance to post anything all day! I finished my deadline in time to dash out of here to pick up Hayley for her hair appointment. I got my nails done too while I was waiting, so that was extremely relaxing and now I have beautiful, short (I like my nails short, polish [...]
The Big Draw – Day 9: A Numbers Game & Face
Just time for a quick Big Draw post tonight!
Dylan’s Day 9 Drawing
Dylan was quite thrilled the other day that you all enjoyed his “Find the ABCs” drawing, so today he decided to do up another, um, worksheet for everyone. This one he called “How many shapes”, and lucky for everyone, he couldn’t resist marking in [...]
The Big Draw – Day 8: Lightning McQueen & 20s Girl with Hat
It’s Day 8 already! I have to confess something. I signed up for Blogtoberfest and feel kind of like I’m cheating because I’m already posting a Big Draw post every day! On the other hand, I just noticed that I’ve been posting at least two posts a day for all of October – I feel [...]
The Big Draw – Day 7: Playground, Cup & Lily
Today was such a good day – it’s always nice around here the day after I meet a deadline (unless I have back-to-back deadlines, in which case it can get a bit nuts). I did a lot of relaxing, and it seems I’ve now gotten into a bit of a drawing habit. When I sit [...]
The Big Draw – Day 6: Car & A Doodle
Today Dylan decided to draw from life! Here’s his picture of a car:

And here’s the car he was drawing:

I was tired by late afternoon – I had a deadline today, and as always, after I meet a deadline, I just want to sit and zone out. Feeling pretty listless, I [...]
The Big Draw – Day 5: Kite and Dylan Playing the Wii
I can’t believe Dylan and I have been doing the Big Draw for five days now! It’s been an extraordinary and fun experience so far, and I’m already starting to feel a lot more confident about working with pen.

Dylan only drew one thing today, which was [...]
The Big Draw – Day 4, and Three Beautiful Things
Getting to draw today was a bit tougher – my mom is over for a visit, so we were kind of occupied for most of the afternoon. But we did sit down to draw (just not together).

Dylan chose to draw an every day thing: a cup. Very simple, but [...]
The Big Draw – Day 3: Trains & Mascara (!)
Today was way more of a challenge for me than yesterday. I went through another magazine and drew several things, including a shoe, a model’s face, a handbag, a fedora … I really need to figure out how to shade in pen! Plus, pen is so unforgiving. My shoe actually turned out okay, except for [...]
The Big Draw – Day 2: Flowers & Phone
I’m really liking the the Big Draw challenge so far. I’d forgotten how wonderful it feels to just take a break from “stuff” to sit down and focus on something fun like drawing.
It took me far more time to find something to draw than it did to actually sit and draw it! I’m very [...]
