Ch-ch-ch-changes!

In the last couple months especially, for me, its been harder and harder to get enough crafty projects to keep my blog rolling and happy. I actually had a duh moments and realized that that I don’t *have* to share only crafty projects. I don’t know why that notion got stuck in my head but I have lots of things going on so why not share them? So next year, actually starting today ha, I’m not only going to be sharing  just crafty projects here but sketches, art, and biz topics as well. Seems kinda natural eh? I’m excited! AND nervous! I’m not usually one to share my rough pencil sketches, it kinda is weird that it isn’t DONE for me. :3 An artist thing maybe? But I’m challenging myself to do a sketch a day though I’m realistically going to be happy with 3 times a week. Sketches not necessarilly SOG related but just to work my artsy muscles and get in the mood. If that makes sense. So! First go here!

Sketches from the other day 🙂 I doodle a lot of portraits lol.

In 2012 I’m also challenging myself to read more biz books so I’m sure I’ll have things on that too. I just got started on one on my Nook so we’ll see. April at Blacksburg Belle had a list of her top books of the year and I’m going to try and give those a read 🙂 Love her blog! 

So that’s my plan 🙂 I think it’ll be fun and get me to come out of my art shell a lil bit.

    Lo0ve your sketches! You’re TOO talented, my friend! ♥

    • Kristy says:

      You, lady, are too sweet by far!

      • Zarah says:

        Never. Just honest.
        Sometimes, though, when I visit you – I feel a bit silly. Like I’ve said it all before. Like I just keep rabbling compliments, and none of them are very new or freshly put. Nevertheless: every word is true. (Even if the wording is, sometimes, old. ;))

        • Kristy says:

          You can be the person to sit with me with pompoms telling me lovely things if you want? XD I can’t say it would pay well lol.

          • Zarah says:

            Payment schmayment. I can bring my gingerbread tiramisu and marinated satsumas and you can show me some techniques and just draw stuff that makes me go all swoony? Deal? ;D

            (Let’s have Kellie over, too? We’ll discuss pretty men and eat tiramisu and craft until we’re all silly… More than we were to begin with, even!! ;))

    Gr8 idea for 2012. Love the two sketches you have, I really wish I hadn’t stopped when I was a kid and into Middle School. Now I’m lucky if I can draw a circle with eyes and a mouth. You inspire us, so happy with your new challenges for 2012. And yes, fancy phones are the best..
    Happy New Year!
