At the beginning of this month I decided to try a little experiment. I created a list of things I wanted to accomplish daily to help me succeed at completing my monthly goals. Then I made a little drawing so that I could track the ‘streak’ of doing dailies…

.

I think I did pretty good. I didn’t ‘dock’ myself for Lessons not done daily because sometimes I was still doing the homework for the lesson on successive days. I tried to find a pattern, like “were Wednesdays harder?” But I don’t see a pattern forming yet. Overall, I’m super happy with my results. I drew nearly daily, and I read nearly daily… AND I blogged nearly daily. Yay me!

I went ahead and gathered up the various links from the lessons and books this month for easy access. Also I have added a little gallery of this month’s drawings at the end.

But before I get to those, I’ll mention that last night and this morning I’ve been continuing to work thru Peggy Dean’s Blooming Lines and I wanted to show my work…
