Blogging News and Life 

This month has been very interesting, and a bit slow where reading is concerned. I have been focusing more on my library reads though which has been so great. Its never a bad thing to focus on those fun reads and less on ARC’s. Definitely been doing more on my audiobooks as well. As for my blog, I changed my design a bit. I have been wanting to do it for a while but wasn’t sure what type I want. I wanted something more fresh and softer on the eyes. As for my personal life, its going good for the most part. Been busy with work and my studies and trying to finish up my project. The past few days have been a bit stressful, my father is in the hospital for pneumonia and my mom had neck surgery and had to have some discs in her spine replaced. So I have been a bit busier and not that much time on the blog and reading trying to take care of them and the house. But hopefully things will get better for them soon.

 

Here are some of my coloring, I have been working on two pieces. Now the first one…its going to take a while. SO many leaves, but I am loving the blending even if its taking longer than I thought it would. But I am making an effort to take more time with my pages in building up the color. The second one is such a fun piece…I am loving this fish pond.

    I hope your parents are feeling better. I totally hear you about reading more library books, I have been doing the same, blending ARCs with what I want to read and it makes me much happier. I love your coloring pictures, which book are they from?

    That’s nice you made more time for those fun reads! I was a bit surprised when i first saw your new design as I almost didn’t recognize your blog, but I do like it and the soft colours. I hope your parents are feeling better! That must’ve been stressfull with them both in the hospital!
    And wow that are a lot of leaves indeed, I can see how that one would take a long time to finish, but the leaves you coloured so far look stunning! I hope March will be a great month too!

    Looks like you had a good month even with all the stuff in your away from blog life. Hope your parents are doing better! I love the fishing pond page. I’ve been really bad about my coloring lately…I need to get to back to it. I just finished reading The Hunter today and it was wonderful.
