Doodling

 I have to tell you the Granola is well worth making so much nicer than a well known brand that I usually buy from the supermarket. Dave has given up his usual weetabix in the morning, the outcome is I need to make more, much sooner than I had planned. Bread will be made this weekend I hope.........

On Tuesday I went to the ballet with Becky and Rachel, this was a birthday treat for the three of us, which was delayed, originally I booked the tickets for the 4th January (closer to our birthdays) but we needed to exchange them as Rachel was in Australia! This was Becky's first trip to the ballet she really enjoyed it and I think we will all go again, maybe next time a traditional ballet.

The quilt is coming on well and I hope to get it layered up next week at Ladybugs, previously I've layered up on the living room floor,  Betsy would make that impossible, plus using the tables at class will be easier on the knees!

Sorry I don't seem to be able to write a post without a photo of Betsy!

I've been spending my evenings doodling for the Sketchbook challenge. It's been really enjoyable doing this months project I hope I enjoy the next one as much, I've been doodling using Pitt Artist Pens and coloured them using Caran D'ache.

This post is very photo heavy hope I'm forgiven...........

What a Difference a Year Makes

We did our usual new years day stroll along the south side of the river Thames this morning, between Butlers Wharf and up to London Bridge, not very far but enough to work up an appetite for lunch! Last year it was freezing cold but bright and clear, today it was damp, cloudy but mild.

January 1st 2010

I'm leaping into  2011 positive and with lots of new challenges! I have decided to take part in the Sketch Book Challenge, my drawing isn't brilliant, but I'm going to give it my best effort and see where it leads! And positive,  I've felt very negative about things lately, but things are going to change...........
