Ukulele Chord Charts

Thinking of learning to play the ukulele? Here are the uke chords! These are not in any way property of the Art Drawer, but they are very helpful for those obscure chords you have no idea how to play! :D

If you have double-sided printing, you can print it on one sheet of paper and it is amazingly helpful!!!

I hope this helps!

Piano

I have started playing piano again after 2 or 3 years! I am having my dad reteach me. My first song right now is a 'Level Two' of Fur Elise. :) It is a lot of fun! But I still get the low A and low E confused! I am gonna get it soon, though! I can't wait to get better at piano because it offers a wider range, I guess? And just a different technique than guitar/ukulele. :D

Speaking of ukes, I really want to bring my ukulele to school for general music class, but I love it too much to let it be in any risk!!! I wish I could get a pocket ukulele, but the reviews don't sound too good and they are really expensive, so that doesn't sound like a very good option. Here is the review I read on it: Pocket Ukulele Review from UkuleleHunt.com If you are a musician or person with common sense, what do you think about it? Or especially if you have one, what do you think about yours?

Anniversary bust

Ugh. So neither of us did anything. But that doesn't mean we don't care. Now, before you click off of this because you think it is gonna turn into one of those sappy posts, don't. I just want to say, I LOVE YOU!

You ever have one of those amazing ideas and it is kind of an Ah HA! moment? Well, I had one 9 days ago. I thought, hey! I will write and film some anniversary stuff! But then I didn't. School, and homework, and crocheting. But these are not excuses. I just can't think of ANYTHING! Maybe Searching for the Art Drawer II will have something to do with the anniversary? (<-- I just had and Ah HA! moment there!) But I dunno. SO! Before you unfollow or decide we are boring cause we forgot about our own anniversary and haven't posted in 9 days, remember that a lot of my Art Drawer time is going to be spent writing the script for SFTAD II, and unless you don't want to see the sequel, cut me some slack!!! ;)

So this was basically an apology post... ugh, I AM boring!

One Year Anniversary

That's right. We have been sharing art and weirdness with you for a YEAR. An entire year! Throughout this week and probably some of next week, RK and I will be presenting things about our anniversary. Belated, of course, but in celebration! :D So for the next couple weeks you will be overwhelmed with anniversary stuff! Get ready. It's about to get serious.

Crocheting and Knitting *UPDATED AND CHANGED!*

I am updating this post, because I felt it was wrong! I LOVE to crochet! I made myself a cell phone holder, I have made a few bags, I made a crocheted crochet hook case! It is a lot of fun! I may post a how to crochet tutorial sometime soon. Also, I am going to post a very basic How to Loom Knit tutorial! I noticed all of my loom knitting tutorials were assuming you already knew how to loom knit! I think I will try and make a video for that, because I actually can only use visual things for instructions... I don't know WHY I write my tutorials with no pictures...

Do you crochet or loom knit? Or needle knit? I find that pretty hard right now. Maybe with more practice I will get it! :D
