What I Want to Be When I Grow Up

My new Paint-by-Number hobby has stirred up sleeping interests for me. I wonder, does everyone go through different phases with their hobbies and interests or do most people just choose something and stick with it forever? Maybe my ever-changing interests have something to do with the way my sweet husband spells my name: A-D-D/O-C-D. I tell him he doesn't know how to spell Sherry, but then again, maybe he does.

I have always loved drawing, painting, music, etc., but my perfectionism ties my hands. I usually think that if I don't have time to do something perfectly, then I won't even start. But, I'm trying to shake that mentality. And, with my newly awakened artsy interest, I have gone through some of my past drawings and thought I would share some with you. I'll start with my favorite one.

This is a picture I snapped of Maggie when she was sticking her head through the back door.



And this is my drawing from the picture.


I drew this about four years ago, and haven't done much drawing since then. But who knows what new~ or old~ interests I might stir up since I have retired from homeschooling and have a little extra time on my hands? There's no telling what I might be since I now have time to grow up!
