Today is my 71st birthday (eek... I haven't even managed to get my head around being 70 yet!). The day started badly with my waking up at 7.00 a.m. so I thought I'd get up, but I'd only started to get ready when I felt so tired and in need of more sleep…
CATS IN COLOURED PENCILS Smudge is now framed On 25th April, I published a post about the coloured pencil drawing I did of Smudge, my hubby's friend's cat. I subsequently had this framed, and today we visited Tony and I was able to give him the picture. He was thrilled with it and…
COLLAGE FRAGMENTS, RECYCLED PAPERS, AND A QUIETLY PERFECT CHRISTMAS DAY A few days prior to Christmas and a couple of days subsequently, I have found time to be in the studio. Much of the time was spent organising things and trying to tidy up a bit (an ongoing struggle!) but I have did…
A BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE GIFT I had a parcel from Amazon the other day, and I couldn't remember ordering anything! It came in quite a large box (which has now been commandeered by the kitties): and when I opened it, this is what met my eyes. There was a note from my lovely friend…
Two more doodle art drawings The first is black and white with a pop of colour in the form of some orange flowers. The second is also mostly black and white apart from the scallop shell in the centre, and this time I have coloured the background. Both pictures were coloured using my…
I am not sure how many blogs I will be able to visit this week as I won't have much time, during the final run-up to my operation on Friday. Edit: Well, I managed it! I visited everybody! (Thursday night.) Everything is now all set for tomorrow's Great Adventure. What's On Your Workdesk…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Don't worry, the week hasn't been as bad or exciting as this blog post's title might suggest. Actually it's been quite dull and I haven't got as much to report as usual, as it's been quite a quiet week apart from usual busy-ness in the kitchen, and…
What's On Your Workdesk this Wednesday? Kitty throw I finally ran too low on yarns to continue, so I have ordered some more - 500g cones in the required colours. There will be plenty of yarn to spare, to go in my stash for other projects. Until it arrives, I am using the…
It's been a couple of weeks since I've done a WOYWW post. I haven't had time to even think about the WOYWW 10th anniversary... Life has been busy and full of superlative ups and stressful downs. Let's start with some of the ups. Desky stuff included! My hubby's 70th birthday My hubby and…
Today my hubby is 70. I can't believe it... We have been married for 33 years (wedding anniversary next Friday) when we were both in our 30s! I don't know where the time has gone. We spent the day at the home of his twin brother (his birthday too, of course!), and their…
