This Week... Figs & Painting

This Week... I made a pot from rolled up paper - just because. I started playing with some textile ideas but I'm not too sure where that is going yet. I had figs for the first time as just figs, not dried or as part of a meal, just figs. They aren't my favourite thing. I've been doing a fair few hours of painting too.

There was an old woman...

Day 194 of the Doodle Olympics - The Owl & the Pussycat. There is a bit of a nursery rhyme feel to the doodles this week, I really should be getting back to some more formal sketching, but how can I do that when I have Sing a Song of Sixpence going around my head.

Day 195 of the Doodle Olympics - There was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.

Day 196 of the Doodle Olympics - There was and Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly. It turns out my Fiance doesn't know this rhyme, I thought everyone knew it?

 Day 197 of the Doodle Olympics - Sing a Song of Sixpence...

 Day 198 of the Doodle Olympics - ... and because it was actually stuck in my head here is another.
 

 Day 199 of the Doodle Olympics - Doodling some characters.

Day 200 of the Doodle Olympics - Day 200 feels like a bit of a milestone :) Pussy Cat Pussy Cat Where Have You Been? 

Found - Recycled

This week has seen me a making pot out of rolled up paper and ripping old clothes into strips, so at some point I can try my hand at rag-rugging. So sticking with the theme of recycling and upcycling, here are a selection of interesting finds available online from designer-makers in the UK. As usual you can find the links to the items below.

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 :)
