I Like Thursday # 423 fences, clouds, scary things, and a poodle

 welcome to this week's list of likes... very short because I have to write this before I go for PT, it hurts to sit at the computer for more than a few minutes. I like my provider but hurt more for 4 days after. 

So... I'm doing a quick post working ahead. 

I like picket fence look in our neighborhood. They are plastic, all the same, and flimsy but I love the look of them. 

We had a few days of cooler weather and the cloud show was wonderful... In person it's inspirational for painting

I like my small stand by machine, without bells or whistles, that is a mechanical sewing machine with a fine straight stitch. Every seam takes longer as the inner area is small and it's an awkward space under the needle but... I do like it and like using it. I love that this week I packed up my beloved Bernina, and figured out a way to fit this baby into the space so I could make my block for the month. More on Saturday I hope. 

I'm going to be doing an Alice in Wonderland painting, from a workshop that's now over. I learned a bit about developing characters, how to paint wild oversized flowers, how to trace elements of a face, then develop it as a unique character. The ones above were just an exercise to get your mind working. 

Another lesson in the painting workshop

just in my sketchbook... she led us through using different mediums to make simple fun circles. I added the different fonts, and always do a small portrait of the teacher too

The prompt this week is:

do you enjoy going in a "haunted house?"  or scary movies? 

It's soon Halloween in America, so my prompts were related to that... I do not like haunted houses, I don't like the gruesome element of Halloween, or to be scared. Life is scary enough for me!! I've gone in a couple haunted houses, and actually stayed in a for real haunted B & B once. Our room lights kept coming on, the owner said, she forgot to tell us they've seen a ghost there many times. 

what about you? 

Milo's moment

Hiya... nothing new around here and Mama is in a tizzy to finish. I like my walks and good treats, I like cold weather but it's not happening here again. I do not like scary things like... 

blowing plastic bags outside, scary halloween decorations, dogs that run at me barking, getting my ears cleaned, fireworks, or the dragon in our house (the vacuum) I go find Mama when the dragon comes out, since Dad pushes it around. 

I do have slightly more respect for him because he can control it. 

now please visit these nice peeps to see what they think this week about scary things
