Wadsworth Cat, Sunday Sketches

Saturdays are the hardest day for me to get my daily drawing in.  I am often under the bed covers when I've remembered I need to do my 365 days of art contribution.  Last night was the same as every Saturday:  I had forgotten.   My cat, Sputnik, had settled herself on me, so I didn't want to get up.   I borrowed the ball point pen my husband had in his hand and grabbed the book at my bedside and set to drawing Sputnik.

Love the spontenaity of this piece. I can so relate to realizing I did not do something, and needing to get back up. Our buddies just hate when we disturb the nightly process!

Tracy and Heather, thank you.

Jennifer,
Before the pen touched the paper, I did have that thought "I won't be able to erase."

bird watching and staying home for the summer

It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport!
