On Day 3, I crocheted on a lovely grey scarf I’ve been working on.  I am for it to be done sometime this month and will post a picture when its completed!  I started a row of double crochet stitch.  On Day 4, I wrote some haikus.  I don’t know much beyond 5-7-5 structure.  No attention to beats.  But they were quite therapeutic!  I won’t post them all for embarrassment but here are my favorites:

Single conference guest

Conversing with others, fun

Not so with sniffles

Optimistic day 

Wide window, view of the world

If I mean it, good

 Believe it or not, those and 4 other bad boys took quite a bit of time.  I, uh, need practice. 

Day 2- colored pencil This is my sketch of the boyfriend asleep on the couch.   He thought the end result makes him look like an Ewok.  I don’t entirely disagree There were, of course, a couple of WHOOPS! strokes.

Note: I don’t actually have any drawing or art training.  I just like messing around.  And anyways, even though I’m not trained, I think that there’s something beautiful about the attempt to capture reality in the best way you know how.  This obviously isn’t really how he looked on the couch.  But its in the style of the author.  This is the scene…

He’s much better looking in real life.  ;)

My first Thing-a-Day thing.  I took some time to make a watercolor.  All i knew is that I wanted a sidewalk, rainy weather and a bright umbrella.  And this is what I got!
