    Dabbling in Drawing

    This is SO me. I never really had a word for it until I found the word Dabble… and dabble is what I do. I dabble in illustration. I’ve dabbled in photography… in sewing… and occasionally I dabble in diet and exercise. What is it about ‘naming’ something that makes me feel so satisfied? It’s…
