You’ve been warned. I’m whining. Read ahead at your own risk.

So, I finished my entry for the quarterly bones challenge. I’ve been working on it and working on it and working on it and hating it. I’m not sure what paint I used on it that made a seal on it, but I can’t blend a few parts as much as I want to, and I just don’t like her anymore. I wouldn’t have picked her to paint, and I don’t have a lot of time or paint-energy anyways, so I’m resenting her for wasting my time. She turned out alright, but meh. I will post finished pics of her after the contest is over. It’s part of the rules that you don’t post it so that the voting can be anonymous. When that goes live, I’ll post a link to the whole contest, but I won’t be able to say which one is mine. Go check them all out!

Sneak peak of my desk. This is where the real whining starts. I just don’t have the time or the motivation. I’m not sure where I lost the joy of painting, but I can’t find it anywhere! I think that I’m just feeling all the stress from the holidays, school, and having an awesome (and exhausting) 2 year old. We got his party done, it was a big hit! Now we just need to get over Christmas and roll on. I’m working on a few pieces for the Sophie exchange, so that’s fun.

I’m just blah. Sorry everyone! I’ll get back in the saddle and have more frequent updates here soon. We redid our game room, so now we can see how much Warcry we still have to paint. 🙂 I think we’ll start painting that again for a little while, so I should have some updates with that soon!

Thanks for sticking it out with me, y’all!
