Weekly Photos 11/52

Published by

Spring sprang yesterday officially and we woke up to snow on the ground!  After a week of sunshine and mild temperatures, I pulled out my boots again. 1. I have been trying to keep up with a sketch a day project over at Skillshare, but I seem to be leaving it for a week at a time then doing all the drawings/paintings in one day to catch up.  March doesn’t seem to be the month for a daily challenge. 2. I have been obsessing about the flowers in my garden lately, it is so lovely to see them, I can’t helping recording them.  Here I sketched some magnolia flowers with my pencil crayons in a kraft paper sketchbook. 3 & 4. The light was creeping in slowly the morning I took these two photos. 5. The star magnolia is all abloom! I hope you had a good week.  Happy Monday x

I am taking stock for the first time in 2015, the prompts and the idea is from the ever lovely Pip at Meet Me at Mikes.  If you fancy taking stock too, I have a blank list at the end of mine for you to copy and fill in. Making : Molasses Crinkle cookies, they are chilling for an hour and then I get to bake them. Cooking : Bangers and mash for dinner with lots of gravy and peas. Drinking : Coffee coffee and another coffee. Reading: I am having trouble sticking with a book at the minute, Boy, Snow, Bird by Helen Oyeyemi, is pretty good so far. Wanting: My fragrance oils to arrive in the mail. Looking: At the sunny sky get darker. Playing: With scent combinations. Deciding: What to draw today for the Tinkerlab challenge Wishing: I could bottle all of my ideas. Enjoying: Making lots of little art works. Waiting: For the snow we have been promised this afternoon. Liking: The idea of some snow. Wondering: What to photo tomorrow …
