Wednesday is #Mendsday

I've started a Crazy Quilt Dossier in Noteshelf (visual organizing app).
I'm dividing the quilt into sections and will reminisce about each patch.
We'll see how far I get!

Here is page 1:
Below is the mending. I have no special memories for this dot fabric.
It's a random strikeoff from work, I didn't "design" this dot.
Lots of pins. Must not leave any laying around

Here is page 2:
Here's the Sketchbook Project page

BLOOM!

I'm writing this instead of doing my taxes.
I'm pretending I don't have to do them. La la la la la.

Last Wednesday, I skipped work and went north to the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve with Anita and Nancy.
It was INTENSE!
Nancy and Anita -- it was the first visit for both of them.
Like my "hiking boots"? I had to tie down my hat with my scarf -- it was so windy!

Anita and Nancy -- strike a pose, girls!
Selfies are hard work.
Anita and Nancy with Bob, a volunteer at the Reserve.
He told us many interesting facts. I don't remember any.
This was only the start of our adventure.
More later!

Linking with Patti's Visible Monday nope, she's on vacation. Lucky! She's back!

BOOM!

BOOM! tunic is made from a scarf, a 3.1 Phillip Lim x Target scarf. 
This is not the first time I've worn this, but it may be the last, until I figure out how to make it less of a walking static nuisance. Maybe the back needs to be cotton?

The big news here is that I'm all excited about the online Procreate (iPad drawing app)  class that I'm taking with Traci Bautista. We're also learning how do do digital art journaling using the Noteshelf app. I think this will help me get my ideas organized.

My first page:
So. Much. Fun!

Today, learning more functions:

Note the consistent color story.
I seem to be stuck in a cobalt/cadmiums situation.
I also can't find my Apple Pencil charger, so I'm finger painting.
I'm posting my Procreate experiments on Instagram as a 100 Day Project:
