Book - Illustration Friday

The topic for Illustration Friday this week is 'book'. I went with the idea, that with the advent of e-books and all the other future technologies that will one day come to pass, children might not even know what physical paper books are - scary! 

This Week... Sausage Hotpot & Flowers

This week... I made my mum's sausage hotpot - super comfort food. I've had another book arrive and it's just beautiful, I'll be reviewing it at some point. Staying with reviews, I've another written up ready for editing, it took a while this time and involved some old school cut and paste to get it to come together. My honey bought me flowers, for no reason as far as I'm aware, he just wanted to let me know I was appreciated - awww, love him! I've also got our save the dates ready to print, I've been printing them on paper samples, so now we just need to order more paper - I can't show you those yet though :)

This Week... Bending Bark, Baking Bread & Books

This week we were attempting to unravel some rolled up bark... Fubby made some rather wonderful bread, for us to scoff with out baked camembert... Team Bevins Johnson made brown paper flowers - I cut the squares and the pentagons, and he is some kind of origami ninja! A new book arrived ready for review. Have a great weekend everyone! :)

This Week... Cinnamon Toast & Chicken Nuggets

This week... next door's cat didn't care is if it wasn't a box, it was still cardboard...I received another book to review... Was left alone while my other half was off on a stag, so I spoilt myself with cinnamon french toast and hot chocolate... I made the yummiest oven baked chicken nuggets, thanks to a Skinnytaste recipe found via Pinterest... I made a start on some paper flowers for my future bouquet... and some organza ones... Also had a go at making tissue paper pompoms, in preparation for my friend's baby shower.

This Week... Birthdays, Blogs, Books & Bracelets

Today's blog post is brought to you with the letter 'B'. How was that for alliteration? It wasn't planned either, I have only just noticed as I typed it in! 
I thought it would be nice to do a weekly round up, I haven't decided if it will be an ongoing thing yet, ask me next week ;)
This week has been pretty quiet, other half has been getting over his cold, and we are trying to sort out our wedding catering. 

Birthday! - We went out for a meal, to celebrate a friend's birthday. That is him there with one of his presents. 

 

Blog Post - I was lucky to be interviewed and featured in the Sue Bulmer blog this week, that was very exciting. It was odd seeing my drawings somewhere other than my own blog. It was lovely that Sue was interested in my drawing project, I never expect anyone to want to read anything I say, even on here I always think I am chattering away to myself, the stats say otherwise though  - *waves at readers*... unless they are just trying to humour me ;)

Product Photos - I imagine you will be seeing more of these. I have an endless amount of product photos to take, but had to stop all of last week, due to a bulb situation. We now have two bright matching LED bulbs, no more filament breakage for me, no siree!

Finished - I am loving these books. Sorry to say, that like a lot of people, I didn't pick them up until the first one was put on television, but who cares, I am reading, and appreciating them now right? This one was so full of drama, but I won't divulge, I wouldn't want to ruin it for anyone. I raced through it, but unfortunately I can't read the next one until my fella has finished reading it... I did buy them for him for Christmas after all. :)


Look out for another update on The Doodle Olympics, it will be coming at ya very soon!
