It feels a little strange being back at work full-time – I’m tired too. Living in a different city, good trains running nearby in the night (although I know I’ll get used to the sound very soon), having to work out where the best supermarket is, the petrol station, where can I get a decent coffee and a sandwich for lunch etc. And then there’s the art supply stores – I guess Lynette from All of Me will help out with this as it’s her city and she uses a wide range of materials!
So what would you take with you for a few nights away, when you know you’ll be tired in the evening and need to just wind down a bit? I took a small watercolour Moleskine, black pens and watercolour pencils and crayons. I only used the first two items!
What would you take away with you when you know you’ll just have a small amount of time?
I like my deliberately wobbly spirals, I have to fight being too tidy so these were fun – maybe I’ll add some colour.
Next week I’ll repair the bear my mother made for my daughter – at about 35 years old and much loved in his younger days, he’s looking a bit worse for wear and somewhat moth-eaten as well!
According to my grand-daughter I am only allowed to do minimal restoration work - there's to be no new clothes or updating of his image!
I’m really chuffed (very pleased) that Jeanne has a sense of history and that at 7 years old, she values this little bear as something her great grandmother made with loving care so just restoration work it is.
Love the doodles and the bear
Look forward to a coffee date soon
thats why i left him with you for repairs before he come home
