Sketching Back in Tunisia
Trucks and cars are back in my sketchbook--caught when we go out on errands. Along with people who cross my path.

Going to the Dentist
Besides keeping my well-worn teeth functional, I can think of another good reason for visiting my dentist, whose office is in downtown Tunis: I find a five-hour block of time (mostly uninterrupted) for stitching and sketching. Because parking has become impossible in the big city, I usually take a taxi, and then a bus to return home. Lots of interesting subjects...
For the sweltering temperatures, the bus has the old-fashioned style of air conditioning: open the windows and drive fast. Ballpoint pen with Prismacolor pencils in my small daily journal.

A Summer Party
When I went to the afternoon barbecue birthday party of a friend of friends in August, I did a bit of chatting and sketching while children played in the backyard and around the house. The tiny baby slept peacefully.
I had caught my friend on a treadmill earlier.
Just playing around...nice memories.

Snow Days
As this week's blistering temperatures inch towards 105° F (40+° C.) with a Sirricco (hot desert wind), I remain blissfully happy. These are "snow days" for me because it would be unhealthy to go outside. And so I sit contentedly with needle in hand. The spotted vest just might be a rapid project.
I'll go out in the late afternoon to talk to my lemon trees. Temperatures are supposed to go down slightly next week...

Lazy Summer Days, 3
Family members were unsuspecting models this summer. Very convenient. I got a new color for my Prismacolor pencil collection, a neon orange. Had to test it out on the right side. How fun is that?

Lazy Summer Days, 1
While in the States I didn't have my colored pencils with me so now I'm finishing the sketches in my everyday small sketchbook/journal. Reliving the summer as fall approaches.
I continue to practice drawing people--still tough for me. What I particularly notice is that people are sometimes surprised at how they appear if I show them what I drew.

Doodling & a Spot
Oh, drat! I got a spot on a vest; a comfortable piece of clothing made from a nondescript cotton. Middle front, no way to hide it.
This might be an opportunity--maybe a flower would be in order?
Or maybe something bigger and wilder?
And then there were my 300+ new fabrics still sitting on my sewing table. How about that pretty turquoise and blue fabric on the top of the pile?
Ahhh, but did I need another project?
