I had very little time for drawing this day-- as is evident by the shaky lines. It is part of my "Rubber Duckies Quote Shakespeare" series of drawings.

There Will Be Cake!

Here is a picture of the cake that inspired such joy, baked by Leah Artenian! Best cake ever (I heard)

Sad Cat

I have been requested to post my "Inktober" drawings to my blog. "Inktober" is a Facebook game in which artists create drawings each day in October using only ink. They then post their drawings to #Inktober, and everyone can see each other's work. Each date has a prompt. I am certainly no artist, but I decided to create sketches based on the prompts for each day, just for fun. It is a little more stressful than fun considering my limited skills. But I have pressed on.

I started on October 5. The first prompt was "sad." I will post them willy nilly whenever I feel like it, but I will eventually post all that I make.

Below is my drawing for 10.5.2016, "Sad Cat"

"Love Your Spouse Challenge: Day 7"

I realize that I forgot to post the last day of the spouse challenge. So here it is!

"Love your spouse challenge" Day 7, (the last day): 

And so, my reporting of the continuing capers of my spouse,Thomas and his sidekick, Penelope are come to a close. For this last challenge post, I would like to share 2 pictures of Thomas and me: my favorite and our most "famous", and a little poem I wrote on the occasion of our first anniversary:

Jitterbug Fantastic

You are my cozy comfy crumpled sock
No Wait!
You are my designer Jimmy Choos

You are my companion couch per-tater spud
No Wait!
You are my elegant squire-about-town

You are my crump-rump-rumpled PJ’s
No Wait!
You are my L(ittle) B(lack) (D)ress

You are a lazy-hazy rainy day
(no leaky roof!)
No Wait!
You are sunrise and briny breezes

You are random non-sequiturs
No Wait!
You are sparkling perspicacity

You are majestic Fox Trot
No Wait!
You are jitterbug fantastic

You are a hot cup of ahh-choo-soup
No Wait!
You are fizz-swank-champagne cocktail

You are my comfort
No Wait!
You are my joy

You are my comfort
AND
My joy!
