Life

What a beautiful morning it is here in my part of the world. The sun is shining the birds are singing and all feels right. That all said I have been away from this space longer than anticipated because on going issues with toothache. To cut a long story short, I had a tooth removed a month ago and my dentist was unable to remove my roots. I am waiting for a referral to the hospital. In the meantime if food touches near the root it akin to accidently poking one self in the eye ouch!!! Any way it will get resolved as does everything in life.



I wanted to stop by to show you a  bag I made. The pattern can be found right here https://www.purlsoho.com/create/category/crochet/crochet-accessories/ it's a Crocheted linen bag.

 Here is one I make earlier, and I love it. It fits easily in my handbag and is right there when I  need it. I have not done much crochet for a while, but this is so simple to make I can even do it with Holly jumping on me.








I have got my sketch books out and brushing up on my art work, my favourite subject is Holly, but the girl wont sit still, so I have to sketch quick. I find while she's sat on her potty, watching one of her TV shows is best. Drawing from life is invaluable and I think its great I have the opportunity to have my own little life model to learn from. I really feel I have neglected my art work for so long. I know I like to dabble in all sort of crafts but drawing is my first and only love and one I want to pursue again seriously. in the past I have taught the subject, exhibited in galleries and have had work published, which I am proud of. It's not the fame I want, it's the Joy of doing what I love making people smile. It's harder to follow your dreams when you become a mum, but not impossible. So I have everything I need my family and my art perfect!!

  3. Your art work is beautiful. I find drawing such a relaxing pastime, although my sketches are nowhere near as skilled as yours.
