Sing my muse

So I was still down with the cold for the first few days of the week, and worked from home as much as I could, for my own comfort as well as my coworkers... This means that not a lot got done until around Thursday, lol.

Still managed two workouts, and beneath the cut is this week's sketchbook painting, inspired by heartofoshun's suggestion of doing a retelling of "Princess and the Pea". It's not exactly a retelling, but more a continuation I suppose. :D

It's that time of year (that arbitrary calendar for syncronising our watches ;)) where I sometimes feel the urge to make resolutions. I have done it before, and often failed, because I set myself too ambitious a goal, and then felt it wasn't worth picking up again after I inevitably failed. Yet, I still can't help myself it seems, and it feels good to look ahead and imagine what I would like to prioritise my time and energy on.

So this year I'm going to set a goal of drawing/painting more, exercising more, and just generally treating myself well. More is not an easy quantifier to measure, and a year is a long time to look ahead, so I will start out by promising myself to do this for a month at least:
- A drawing/painting a week in a sketchbook I have dedicated to this purpose (and if I don't have any inspiration I will use this list of ideas for the 52 weeks of the year)
- Exercise! In any shape or form.

And I will try to do a weekly recap of things that I have done which made me happy.

So with no further ado: Recap of week 1 of 2017!
