Trees and Pumpkins and a Lamp (EDM#2 - Draw a desk lamp or other lamp)


Last Saturday my little family enjoyed the nice weather outside and while we ate our lunch and discussed future projects, I sketched one of the Mulberry trees in the yard...but to be honest it had more leaves than the sketch shows

On Sunday we carved pumpkins, my husband did a Donald Duck one from a stencil out of a DVD we purchased recently. I helped my little girl with a Goofy. Then the kids went off to grandma's and we did a date night-we were supposed to go out but my husband hurt his back...so we stayed local.

Monday was Halloween! My little girl got to trick-or-treat around Main Street with her dad, then more treats after work! We were all tired when the night was over and she'll have candy to last until next year
And before you know it, it's Friday already. Tuesday I worked, Wednesday I stayed at the office late, and Thursday I stayed home with the kids-my daughter and I played in her playhouse wearing our red dresses while little brother napped :) Anyway, this is my husband's lamp that I bought for him years ago when we were just girlfriend/boyfriend. For EDM#2 - Draw a desk lamp or other lamp. Plus I just like the lamp :)

    Beautiful drawings! Love the tree and the pumpkin =) The menacing smile sure makes a good scare for the celebration ^^ Hope you and your family had a good one.
    P.S.: On Gumbo, you need to come down to Louisiana for a good one. It's not really a trade for a cake but it's all we had at that time and it's really good. But back at home... Birthday=CAKE :p that will never change

    Sounds like a wonderful week! Love your sketches, and I'll confess too, because I almost never draw the proper amount of leaves. Your tree still looks great.
