Bears, Bees & Birds - One day my titles will begin with another letter other than 'B'

Day 123 of the Doodle Olympics: It's another one of those weird tall trees, that looks a bit like a beanstalk. It isn't supposed to be a beanstalk, birds don't nest in magic beanstalks, so I've been told anyway. 

Day 124 of the Doodle Olympics: So I started to consider what it would be like to have a pet bear. At the moment we have other people's cats using our garden as a public toilet, it is a tad annoying, and I bet they wouldn't do it if we had a pet bear. No - we don't need to go into where the bear would toilet - details, details *rolls eyes*.

Day 125 of the Doodle Olympics: Of course bears, adult ones at least, are usually on the large size, so I began thinking about bears in every day confined spaces, like baths...

Day 126 of the Doodle Olympics: ... single beds...

Day 127 of the Doodle Olympics: ... and one man tents. I imagine this would make a bear quite grumpy.

Day 128 of the Doodle Olympics: I may have been watching Bee Movie, so I may have drawn some flowers, and I may have drawn a bee - of sorts - and I may have written 'Buzz' a few times... which actually just makes me think of Toy Story...

Day 129 of the Doodle Olympics: So, following on from the above image, this doodle was of flowers sans bees, to illustrate how bee numbers are in decline - no sorry, I jest, it was just a doodle of flowers. On a serious note, the decline of bees is a very sad business, that I'm very unhappy about. 

Day 130 of the Doodle Olympics: I love this guy. I love that he is clearly some kind of big geek beak, with his waistcoat, bow tie, and woolly jumper with floral motif. I have a real obsession for birds with big beaks at the minute, while the beak on this guy is more 'toucan-esque', the one thing in the world, that I wish I could change (aside from loads of stuff like ending famine, cruelty and war), is the lack of Dodo bird, I would have loved to have seen a Dodo. :(

This Week... Bacon, Bead Books And Baby Boys

This week... We started the week with bacon sandwiches and onion marmalade. They may not look much, but that there, is homemade bread (made by Fubby), and it is delicious! Two more books arrived ready to be reviewed. I finished writing up another book review, and took photos. 

Most importantly though... Our friends welcomed a new, tiny addition to their family, meet Archie! He is just wonderful, and perfect for cuddles. 

Welcome to the world Archie!

Hanging Out With A Monkey, A Big Beaked Bird & Baby Boy

Day 117 of the Doodle Olympics - He's late, late for a very important date. I had a little Alice in Wonderland moment, not a bad moment to have really!

Day 118 of the Doodle Olympics - A lady snail shopping for a new shell. To be honest I like the one she already has, but there is just no pleasing some snails.

Day 119 of the Doodle Olympics - Monkey, monkey in the tree, why don't you swing by and hang with me.

Day 120 of the Doodle Olympics - Big beaked bird way up high, can you see past that beak to 
fly?

Day 121 of the Doodle Olympics - Just a little doodle to acknowledge the birth of my friend's baby yesterday. Hello Archie! 

Day 122 of the Doodle Olympics - So I think this is a little hamster, but you know, I have never had a hamster, so it was pretty much guess work - we could just say he is some kind of rodent? :)

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! :)

Bells, Bells & Hairy Bikers

Day 111 of the Doodle Olympics - Bells, decorative bells. I am thinking a lot about weddings at the moment, what with trying to make paper flowers, and trying on dresses etc. So what do I think of when I think of weddings? Bells. It's a bit silly really, considering we won't have any bells at our wedding. 

Day 112 of the Doodle Olympics - A second day of bells - I'm pretty sure it will be over soon... then maybe it will be horseshoes or wedding cakes! :)

Day 113 of the Doodle Olympics - Or hearts! They remind me of weddings too, and I still can't stop decorating things in circles and flowers...

Day 114 of the Doodle Olympics - More circles and flowers, a bit of french, and well, a bit of good ol' British weather talk ;)

Day 115 of the Doodle Olympics - I was watching The Hairy Bikers on Bakeation last night, soooo.... Well it seemed like a good idea at the time, but truth be told, I have only ever drawn faces from photographs, never from moving people on television. The question mark is purely an apology for a bad doodle! Still they were in France which fits quite well with the current french theme I have going on...

Day 116 of the Doodle Olympics - Today is blinkin' miserable outside, someone said we are supposed to be getting a months worth of rain in one day. However, I have clearly been inspired by the big drops hitting my window, and fortunately I don't have to go out in it, so all is well! :)

New Items at dawn bevins design

Some new items have been appearing on my website this week, some you can see here. Hopefully, there will be a lot more activity on there over the coming weeks, with more products, and more changes. Fubby warned me, that once the site was up and running, it didn't mean that it was finished, that it would continue to evolve. He was absolutely right, I can already see things that aren't working for me, things that need moving, or in some cases, removing. Keep your eyes peeled! :)

Seaside Memories & An Obsession With Florals

Day 100 of the Doodle Olympics - We had homemade scones at the baby shower, and I have been craving more ever since, but in an effort to stop eating yummy things, I'm drawing instead.

Day 101 of the Doodle Olympics - Helter Skelter, a memory of Hunstanton, from a few weeks ago. 

 Day 102 of the Doodle Olympics - a lighthouse, I seem to have a sea/tall things theme!

 Day 103 of the Doodle Olympics - more sea! 

Day 104 of the Doodle Olympics - True story :( 

Day 105 of the Doodle Olympics - I still wanted to draw something tall, and I was watching one of those home programmes at the time.

Day 106 of the Doodle Olympics - Still obsessed with my floral doodles, as you will see...

Day 107 of the Doodle Olympics - ... floral pumpkin...

Day 108 of the Doodle Olympics - ... Floral tree...

Day 109 of the Doodle Olympics - ... Floral cat...

Day 110 of the Doodle Olympics - ... and Floral skull. :)
