I'm hoping to turn this blog into an art blog very soon. I've been dying to get back into my creative side for some time. I haven't been able to due to 1) a bad winter of illness (had four separate bouts with a cold--three times I had to be out for a week), 2) business with my job as a temp for Volt at World Vision and now an official employee of said same; 3)taking care of my mom's needs as she settles into her new place; 4)hosting two Japanese students within the space of two month (Eri and Momiji); and 5)taking on the job of Teacher Guide while hosting Momiji and still working at World Vision. I am physically, emotionally and mentally exhausted by the last one.
Here's my list of things I hope to do in the very near future:
1. Continue with my Japan blog. I just added a new post. You can read it here at: http://nekokat.blogspot.com/.
2. Officially start the projects and chapter readings in the workbook "The Creative Call," by Janice Elsheimer.
3. Art projects. I have in mind trying some ACEO sized pics or slightly larger illustrations in mixed media that Mardel can embellish, as well as some more drawings colored by computer to post on Deviantart.
4. Clear off my 'puter desk so Bill can install the flat screen monitor and Wacom tablet.
5. Once those are installed, have Bill also install Photoshop CS on my 'puter.
6. See if I can take the Photoshop CS classes offered by World Vision.
7. Start walking with Bill after work.
8. Four letter dirty but necessary word: D*I*E*T
9. Get some Archie scripts done.
10. Post any new art here as well as my Deviant site. Here I can talk a bit more about my work.
So, there it is. I hope I can keep this up; I'm determined not to fail. With that in mind I think the best thing would be to commit all ten items to the Lord and ask for the Holy Spirit's help. Then I can't fail!
Ganbatte, Kathleen!
