Garden markers

We recently planted our garden and I found this free way to make signs on Pinterest.  I used paint stir sticks that I had, painted them and used puffy paint to write the names on them :)

Sketching (Part 2)

As I mentioned last month my goal was to bring my sketch book everywhere. The nice part of living on the East Coast are the many opportunities to do quick day trips to beautiful places from Lancaster, PA to southern Maryland where the Patuxent and Potomac River empties into the Chesapeake Bay. Drawing is a skill and practicing makes it better. I will continue to practice ;-)  ~ JM
