So addicted to Pinterest... it's kind of ridiculous. I am pinning everything. Once I am moved, I will try out the things I want to do. One that I am going to start soon is a "30 Day Drawing Challenge".
Went out to babysit my adorable nieces this evening, and not going to lie, changed the first diaper ever in my life. Wasn't too bad but it wasn't dirty so that was kind of awesome. Haha.
This week is going to be a tad busy with packing the rest of our stuff and moving some of it before Saturday.
We did a rush trip into Winnipeg Saturday to find a dress. We manage to find one at the Le Chateau Outlet and then we went to Earl's for supper. We had the most amazing sandwiches and the barkeep made a mean Bloody Mary. The guy sitting near us was either putting on an amazing act or schizophrenic. He was sketchy, talking with himself (as in looking at the other chairs and holding conversation), slamming his book, throwing imaginary things at the floor and then yelling at them. It was a tad intense.
Well onto bugs,
Day 131:
A weird looking caterpillar. Both of my nieces got caterpillars as babies and when thinking about looking after them, they got in my head.
Day 132:
I don't really know what I was aiming for with this one. Just a little bug, cute and unharmful.

That was a crazy weekend.
Thursday I went up and visited with Megan and Tanner. Carved another pumpkin for her. Picked up Christopher and headed to Yorkton for a bit. Bought 2 massive canvasses for $20 and won for cash-ola at the Casino.
Friday was a lazy day and my brother's birthday gathering. Got some more uber-cute pictures of my nieces. Went and visited with Chantel when Chris played video games with his brother and fell in love with Grimm.
Day 45:
Just a quick doodle-rama of an eye. Was trying to pop one out quickly before heading up north.
Day 46:
This was trying a cartoon-y eye. I don't fully like the shape that the eye turn out with but I think the realism of the iris and pupil made the cartoon shape look so bad.

Day 41:
This was based on my niece's eye when she was very small so her eyelashes were barely visible. I need to get comfortable with not having tons of lashes.
Day 42:
Also based on my niece's eye but this was recently. I love my nieces' eyes. I wish I could do them justice.
Day 43:
This is my eye. I got contacts yesterday and I took a picture of myself without my glasses. Smiling eyes. :)

Thanksgiving at my brother's was delicious. It was nice to visit with my grandma and just watching my crazy nieces.
I showed my niece the picture I drew of her yesterday and she actually saw herself in it, she actually thought that I had taken a picture of her with an app on my phone. Whoop whoop.
I decided at one point this evening to play with my nieces' chalk and chalkboard.
Day 27:
I didn't have enough room to do a full face. Haha. My niece said I could use it but I couldn't erase anything that was already on it.
I figured afterwards that I should not have filled in the eye with the white. There is not much difference between white and the green, or I could have done blue eyes, oh well.
This is it. It was fun, I haven't played with chalk in a while.

Canadian Thanksgiving is this weekend. I am heading out to my Brother's house tomorrow to have a grand meal with my fam. I am excited to spend some time with my nieces. I love them and their adorable faces. :)
Today I made home-made multi-grain bread to make home-made croutons to go with my home-made back bacon bits in the Caesar salad that I am supposed to bring. I even splurged and bought Parmesan petals. Yum yum.
So today I drew a picture of my niece Kalli. <3
Day 26:
I am quite proud of this picture. My husband even thought it was Kalli before I mentioned anything. Oh my, she is going to be such a heart breaker. Haha.
I like how I got the lips right, she was kind of buzzing them in the picture that I took.
I am excited to get a whole bunch of new pictures of them. :)

Happy Thanksgiving.
