Spring is coming!

My poor little Pye hasn’t been feeling well. She has been spending a lot of time in “the box”. Shakespeare seems to help her relax.

Sorry but I just couldn’t resist.

I’m starting to feel like doing some gardening. Thats a good sign. I really need to get in the vegie patch. It’s an absolute mess. I actually had to ‘buy’ a fresh carrot the other day.

The vegies are just so much cheaper to grow. I’ve been buying frozen all winter.But theres no excuse. The vegie patch is out there waiting for me.

Spring must be on the way. All it does is rain at the moment, but I feel motivated to do physical things. Not just sit on my bum painting.

I’ve been doing lots of housework. (Shock, horror!) It’s great to feel this way.

Update!

So here,finally,is the hot water bottle cover I made for Greg. It’s nothing fancy. I just used a sleeveless ,toddlers, knitted jumper. There is an opening at the bottom, with a flap like in a pillowcase.

Greg says it’s perfect, so it’s fine with me. Not a lot of sewing. One project done.

This mess is all sorts of pictures I’m working on now. Practicing with coloured pencils and Graphitint pencils. Practice sketches. Gesso’d canvases.

It’s all within easy reach.

Just the way I like it.

This  is a black and white canvas I’m working on now. I’ts  16″x20″ Acrylic on canvas board. With just a hint of colour.

I got the background photo ,then the girls photo. I think they fit perfectly.Thanks to the photographers at Wetcanvas once again.

I’m calling it  LOST.

Sorry about my crappy photography skills this morning. Another cup of tea will fix me.

Enough for. Got to get ready to meet my mum. I’m really looking forward to it.
