sewing:
more painting on fabric, and a new collage put together by machine and handwork which I'll show Saturday...
Reading:
Just finished a fabulous audio book... the story takes you on a trip through France to the US and back, is a mystery on several levels covers three generations and explores relationships. I loved it
Still finishing up but dragging my feet as it's so enjoyable... laughing, crying, loving this story
next week I'll have a change of reading material as I finished one of these and only have 10 more pages on the other
I love pets and this meme seen online this week... Milo are you watching?
loved this video

Ahhhh Sketchbook Revival... I'm doing my best to see all the videos and do all the lessons... I'm REALLY happy to report I'm using my supplies... so many I haven't been brave enough to try til now.
I will share a couple of the lessons here today... more later as it's picture heavy

| paint blobs.... |
 |
| add details with pens |
 |
| I love their whimsy |
 |
| this one is in sketchbook on thin paper |
I love the next one on watercolor paper...
Another thing learned was that my golden paint, (finetec) must have a drop of water put on in the pan to reconstitute the paint about 5 minutes before using. I was going too fast and it came out transparent but this is LOVELY. I also like the black and white of using pencil

| really look at colors in flowers, then go wild! |
Milo's Moment
Mama: MILO! It's just a haircut!
Milo: and a bath, cutting toenails, digging around in my ears, standing still for hours...
Mama: stop that! you get lots of breaks to run around and pets and treats and feel good, and look better
Milo: heh heh, I do like being clean and all the treats and having my bedding washed... I also like that it has been cooler the last few days, and I get cake sometimes.
Mama: that's because it's oat flour not wheat, and bananas and sugar.
Milo: bananas! ewwwww, well you hid them well under the sugar!
now visit these people to see their lists...

I wonder what your banner will be? I am really enjoying the art you are sharing! So creative. Love your conversations with Milo! He's a clever dog! (ooh, don't tell him I called him a dog!!). LOL
As always - your botanical drawings/paintings are my favorite. But there was this one little cat in that sketchbook . . . so cute! And I had just downloaded the Picasso book, and look forward to reading it.
What fun going on in your studio, LeeAnna!!! I watched many of the Sketchbook Revival videos, but very little has come from them yet. Your pieces are so inspiring!
I love your creativity, and your ability to find such great tutorials. Um do they have something about mom on phone, no squeaky toy? LOL Milo I am glad you have found your perfect temperatures and are happy.
Beautiful painting and projects! The books look interesting. Thank you for sharing I Like Thursday ... :) Pat
I love your birds with paint and pen! Those books sound good - will have to put them on my list. Milo, everyone needs to go to the salon once in awhile!
Spreading happiness is a wonderful thing. It's always good to see Milo too.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. Scritches to Milo. ♥
Your painting/sketches are so inspirational. As soon as some semblance of order is restore in the studio, I hope to get back to painting. I'm missing working on greeting cards and my supply of cards is getting low and must be replenished before the birthday season begins!
Your art is just inspiring!
Your paintings are lovely! Have a great day!
Fun to read your post and see all the lovely creative work you are doing, LeeAnna. I love those flowers, and I'm curious about that spring banner! Hiya, Milo!
Your art is sure pretty and I like those paint blobs, very cool. Milo, I'll bet you feel better all clean and fancy free. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Hi LeeAnna! Thank you so much for encouraging us to find the goodness and light in every day. Gosh, that dog meme is so funny! Both were sitting so nicely, listening carefully to what Mom was teaching them. And that video of pets!! Too funny. I love, Love, LOVE your flower paintings especially the mums. They look so lifelike. Great job! Aww, I'll bet Milo look so handsome and he's all ready for Spring! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
I love your fabric mosaic! I have had fun this week making a junk journal with a quilted cover. Love the pretty flowers you've painted too. Enjoy your evening! Hugs, Diane
That gold paint is amazing. Love your flowers, too.
LeeAnna - love the whimsical animals and the pretty flowers. I will have to check out the Sketchbook Revival series. Have a good weekend!
I really appreciate the way you are nurturing your creativity!
I’m loving your painting and sewing and Milo never fails to make me smile.
Hugs,

You sure do create happiness...in your studio and on your blog. Milo should not talk to Percy as we were able to schedule a groom for tomorrow..he looks like a muppet!
Your art made me think of my mom. I still have one of her sketch pads from when she was younger.
I loved the way you created the paint blobs into cute birds and a cat 💕 It’s still very grey here but I love to listen audiobooks, too. Happy Sunday.
Sorry I'm late visiting. Been offline, but not by choice. I so love the paintings you are doing. Still haven't seen a single video yet. I know I don't have much longer.
LOVED Milo's moments. He's such a sweet and now very clean fellow.
I love the paint blobs. A great exercise in creativity. Thanks for linking up!
