Purple Scarf

I'm making progress on my purple scarf. I started this in the summer and intended to leave it at my mom's apt so I had something to do while over there if I slept over. I started working on it again last week. I pulled out so many rows and did them over, I'm finally moving forward. I haven't crocheted in a while. I thought I was using a single crochet but I was using a slip stitch so it looks like I knitted the scarf.

I'm hoping to be done by the end of this week so I can start on my hat.

About Enchanted Droppings

Original purpose

About two years ago (2008) my coworkers and I decided to do a one-a-day project. I didn't know what to do so Jen (mellowbeing.com) suggested that I use the vector pictures that come with Photoshop and create a graphic design piece with them everyday. I also wanted to get better at drawing so I decide to draw as well. At the time I had all the time in the world, so I was able to do both everyday (five days a week). After a while I started to have a creative block or I was busy and I couldn't keep up. I then decided to stop the Photoshop part and just draw. I started graduate school and work at my job became very hectic. Last year I only posted work about seven times. This year I would like to get back to drawing and updating this blog. Which leads to it's new purpose.

New Purpose

I decided to make this my "being creative" blog. I love Art and Design. Photography and drawing both fall under one of those categories. Last year I didn't draw a lot but I was taking a lot of photos. One of the classes I took in graduate school was a photography class which made me buy my Nikon D60. I also started crocheting again this year (January 2010). I learned how to crochet when I was about 9 years old and recent events lead me to start practicing/making things again. I am going to use this blog to post sketches, drawings, doodles, digital art, progress on items I am crocheting or sewing and my favorite photos that I take.

Origin of the Name

Enchanted Droppings is a spin off of special crap, or a polished turd. My stuff is crap but it's special crap :-). I also have a thing for faeries and faeries are enchanted.

Back To the Drawing Board in 2010

I know I've fallen off. I have been drawing, but more like doodling. I actually drew some stuff but left it at work. I don't go back to work until next year, so maybe then I will upload them.

I decided in 2010 I am going to tap into my creative side more. I spend more time taking photos but I am going to split the time and draw more or maybe just do both 50% more. My aunt was in the hospital right before Christmas. I visited her on my birthday. While I was there I drew one of my characters on the whiteboard that usually displays who was the day and night nurse. She called me the next day to tell me she keeps looking at it and thinks it's cute. I was glad I could draw something to intrigue her and give her something pleasant to think about.

Anyway, sob story over, next year means more drawing, I promise.

Still Drawing

See, I'm still drawing ... Just not on a bigger scale. Eh, I'm trying. My brain is just scattered and I'm trying to do soo much. I have a lot of things I need to get done. I'll start drawing again soon ... Hopefully ...

Fell Off

Oy! I know, I know. I have not added anything in a while. I've been busy and going crazy. I need to reorganize myself and then I will have time for everything.
I love drawing, but I always feel guilty spending time drawing when I should be doing something else. Plus, I think I put most of my little free time into my photography. I was also taking a photography course too, so it wasn't too much of my free time.

Grad school will be done in a week or so, so I will start drawing and uploading again.

Dear John

Well someone is bitter. I guess telling him Happy Valentine's day will not help at all.
