Cat and Mouse–Art

Mar4
When Tom Cat doesn't know what to do with Mouse.
Especially when this mouse is a BIG mouse. Or maybe a rat. The rats we have out here look like this.

I won another art contest at Oscraps! 🙂 I’m working on some more–having fun. So yesterday we had a blast. I managed a little editing on Wolf on the Wild Side. Today, I’m working on more editing. The book is “done” but still trying to reach word count and doing more editing, fleshing out scenes, etc. Only 1400 words until word count. I really like it when I have the book written from beginning to end and really this is the most fun part.

My next deadline book is the Highland wolf one, so I need to write on that. I also want to do a million others. Of course. lol

I’m still working on the new print cover for Vexing the Highlander, the novella, so I’ll have that done today. I always feel more self-actualized (a term I learned in psychology class)–when I accomplish something. Like cutting down the holly tree volunteers that were shading out a beautiful rosebush and sunshine ligustrum that needed more sun to really grow. Isn’t that always the way though? You plant something, and it barely grows. You plant some more things and then voila, the plant that would barely grow is taking over and so is everything else and on top of that, volunteer plants have decided to join the crowd.

I love plants, so I really don’t like to have to cut any down. I did just cut the lower branches off the one holly and left the top to continue to grow upward. But I had some pine trees that grew from seeds too right near it, so they’ll all be competing with one another soon also.

I’m off to get to work! Have a beautiful day.

Monkey Business–Silly Art

Mar2

So I’ve been playing around with the art challenges on Oscraps and this was one of them. Color Play.

I won one for last month!

Today, I’m working on Wolf on the Wild Side. I got a 1,000 words yesterday, wanted 2,000, but I was rereading Vexing the Highlander before I put it up on ACX for narration for an audio book. I needed to revise my biography and put it in the same font as His Wild Highland Lass, then I’ll upload them today and get back to work on Wolf.

I’m also cutting down some holly trees that have sprouted up on their own and are trying to take over all the other plants in their vicinity!

Hope you all get that monkey business out of the way and then have time to play!

A Balancing Act–Fun Art

Feb28

It’s a good thing they’re not surrounded by sharks. I did have a hammerhead in there, but I wanted a more serene scene. lol

I’m off to work with my granddaughter some more. We’ve been doing worksheets, painting sun catchers, and coloring printable pages for coloring. We made cinnamon rolls for breakfast, fed the birds, and we’re about to do dancercizing next. When my daughter arrives to take her home, we do Pilates, but that means juggling the baby too. Sometimes he’s fine, but last time I ended up trying to do them with him in my arms on my lap. lol

I was trying to figure out my timeline again on my book, so think I have it all figured out and I’m at 75K. Need 80K for minimum. Almost there! I should have word count by Thursday.

Have a great day!!!

Do NOT Pet the Lion!–Lion Art

Feb26

As much as they are adorable, do not pet the lion cub, just saying.

Well, I’m off to start on writing, it is now Wolf on the Wild Side, Kayla and Nate’s story. I’m up to 70K, hope to get 2K today. I thought of a change I had to make and of course that changed a whole lot. But that’s okay. I’m going through and updating it now and then need to add some scenes. 80K is the minimum, so nearly there!

Have a great day! Mine is cold and wet, a GREAT time to stay in and write.

So little one is here and I’ve been trying to get a piece of artwork done for the blog. Enjoy!

Sphynx Cats Having a Gnarly Discussion–Cat Art

Feb23

It’s another whirlwind day, another night short on sleep. Hoping to get a bunch of stuff done today and be able to relax after this! Well, and write, write, write.

In the portrait, the cats are behaving themselves. In real life, not too sure. lol

The one Highland book I was having narrated is done and I need to proof it, and I really, really, really need to get back to work on the current book. I managed in 2 days to get 1,000 words. I only have 12K to finish word count, but I just need to have the uninterrupted time to do it.

And then last night, I was thinking ahead to the other deadline books. Okay, forget to publish this!

Most errands run–oil light and tire light had come on in the car. Done!

Have a super fun day!

Bumblebees & the Panda–Whimsical Art

Feb21

It turned out really warm today, so we took a walk early. We’ve already done a jaguar craft with a puppy dog suncatcher to do and a walk to the pond to feed the turtles too. It’s supposed to get to 77 today.

I’m also trying to get some word count AND tax work done.

Hope you all have a whimsically fun day!

First Meeting–Foal and the Miniature Horse–Art

Feb20

I need to still feed the dogs, and get back to work on edits, but I created this the other day. I love it when a scene means something. In this, you can tell they want to meet each other, but they’re a little cautious.

Have a fun day!

Kitty Cats Galore–Art

Feb11

I’ve got to run errands. It’s cold out there! But I’m halfway done on proofing Christmas Wolf Surprise and I want to finish that today and get back on track on the other story tomorrow!

So hope you have a beautiful day! I’ve got to get bundled up and then be a quick change artist because it’s going to be 71 today. 30 degree change in temperature!

The Pixie is at it Again!

Dec28

My soundbar is definitely going out on me. We saw Spiderman yesterday. It was really good. We’re seeing Matrix today and that’s it for the movies for months.

We’re thinking of going to the Build a Bear with my granddaughter one day this week and letting her build her own critter.

Speaking of building bears, I need to make another one for an order. But in the meantime, I’m typing notes from what I wrote last night by hand and am close to 49K. Yay!

In the artwork above, some might think that pixies are tiny and the cougars would be bigger. In truth, it’s all fantasy, right? And art? So we make of it what we will.

Have a great day!!!
