Busy Hands




Whoosh! Another week gone by. Thursday, here once again. My mom, sisters and I have been trying to get our schedule a bit more organized and focused more on the important things in our day. So, I haven't had as much time as I have wanted for blogging. Today I had more time on my hands. So, I am posting. I have several projects I have been working on lately. Mostly involving knitting. Some sketching, knitting, and sewing.


I am working on knitting a blanket, a scarf, and hopefully soon this hat. :)
I finished a dishcloth yesterday for my mom and have been knitting a lot.
Lately I have been in a knitting mood.
I hope to sew a skirt this Saturday as well. I have the fabric and I am looking forward to start sewing it.

I have been sketching a lot lately as well. I bought a sketching notebook on my birthday and I have been using it a lot. I also have some new Faber-castell pens. I love them!
The picture above is a sketch of my baby brother John. I am planning on doing another one of him by copying a photo him. I have not yet found the right picture to copy yet. :)
Here is a paper doll that I am making. I have yet to make clothes for her now.

I don't make pictures of men very often but I thought I would try. I saw this guy in a magazine and I decided to try and copy him. I don't think I did justice to what he really looks like. :)


I made her while watching the Emma movie on my birthday.

I am making a book just for Sam and Joe. This is one of the first pictures in the book. Joe on the right and Sam on the left. This is them getting dressed in the morning. It's not done yet for sure.

I hope you all are doing great!

I just thought I'd share all of this with you all. I have not forgotten my little blog, I have just been quite busy. :) I have two posts in mind which I will try to get written and posted next week, I hope. :)

Have a great Thursday!!!

  1. I know what you mean, Leah... I've been trying to get myself on more of a schedule this week too. It's been working out really well! It's amazing what a little organization can do for your day, isn't it? ;)

    Wow, your'e so talented! Those pictures you sketched are all great!!! :) It's funny, we were watching some girls from our church today, and they were drawing things. I decided to join them, and I drew a rainbow. Yikes! My drawing skills are terrible. My talent lies in other areas, for sure! :)

    Anyway, it was good to hear from you!

  5. Very, very nice sketches! And I love that hat! One of those hats could very well be coveted should you do a contest! :-)
