My 10 Minutes of Creativity

Today I got a little burst of creative juice. After coming home from walmart with my haul of glass mason jars, baking soda, scrapbook paper, shower curtain, curtain rod, and curtain rings the last thing on my mind was drawing. Now the curtain supplies had nothing to do with the mason jars. My daughters sliding closet door fell off almost a year ago. Instead of trying to figure out how to put it back on I liked the more open look. As she got older more stuff accumulated in the closet and the open closet look wasn't as cute any more. A curtain was always my idea anyways. While trying to find mason jars are walmart I looked at the fabric section and found nothing I really loved except for this glitter sequin fabric but it was going to be about $30 to do my project and time to sew it. I checked the curtains and nothing was great there either. I thought I would take a look at shower curtains and found a really cute fabric kid one of owls. My daughter picked out the owls :). It was choice between the owls, butterflies or birds in trees. They would have all fit her woodland room theme nicely. Lilianna does have an owl bookstand so the owls got multiplied. As if it wasn't enough that she has now 20+ owls in her room I added one more.

Instead of making her baking soda air freshener out of scrapbook paper that didn't really fit her room I drew up a cute little owl instead. It's salmon pink paper with glitter gel blue ink and white. Those 10 little minutes of sketching this up really got me excited. Even it being such a small amount of time it really put some umph in my day and pep in my step. As a note I did not come up with the owl out of my head. I'm still trying to work on my drawings coming out good without a reference. I google image searched owl drawings and found this one and drew it up myself..tweaked it a bit. I would link the source if I could find it again :(.
