March 2025 Procreate Designs

Looking back on the art I’ve been making for the past few months I’ve done quite a bit of digital work.  I started really delving into Procreate when we went on Vacation earlier this year, and I haven’t stopped exploring the possibilities since.   While planning for our vacation in late February and early March of his year I opted to take only my camera and iPad.  No knitting, no sketch book, no art supplies.  This was the first time I’d ever taken only my iPad, with the intent of creating art while on a vacation.  I had a plan to limit my supplies and challenge myself to only using procreate.  My plan worked, I learned a lot about procreate and I enjoyed to process.   The biggest thing I learned was how very freeing being able to sit on the couch or the porch at night with just an iPad and a pencil was.  There was no figuring out where to put supplies, or how to juggle a sketchbook on my lap, or being confined to the table.  The other bonus ...

We’re Retired! What’s Next?

Hello!  Just in case there’s anyone still reading this very dusty creative space.  If not, then I’m probably talking to myself as I write this, but what else is new? Let’s roll with a life update and set some intentions that I very well may not keep any better than the others I’ve set over the past three or four years.  The short story is that we’re officially retired!   Hubby took an early retirement and after a 14 year sentence in Alaska we’re finally heading home!  No, we don’t hate it here, we just don’t love it here and we can’t wait to go home and be with family.  We’re rolling out the end of July, on a journey down the Alcan highway.  We’re returning to our home state of Wyoming.  We’ll be spending some time there and then the plan is to live the RV life before settling into a new home.
