This time last year.
…I wasn’t drawing at all. We all went on holiday and I packed one of the numerous, small sketchbooks that Myles had desperately bought in attempt to get me drawing again. I sat outside late one evening and stared at the page, what on earth would I draw? I drew what I knew best, my family.
Here’s to lots more drawing. And here’s to all those artists who have become sidelined, side tracked, ignored, undermined, ripped off or for those who will never be huge or famous or published.
Just keep drawing.
Splat!
There goes Evie, smack into the concrete step outside. Just like her Mother to fall up the stairs too.
Sunset with the swifts.
In mid-summer, at sunset, the sun just catches the back of Millie’s attic window. If you stand on her bed, you can look out, bathed in red light whilst the swifts scream past our heads.
The Puppet Show.
So, after a mass gluing and sticking session with lolly pop sticks, boogly eyes, feathers and lots of glue, the stage was set for the puppet show of the century.
Well that’s what I was told as I was dragged to a chair.
Not quite Pyramus and Thisbe…
Five Pounds of Kindness.
We were out shopping today and an old lady approached Evie. They were chatting and Evie was showing the lady her toy. The lady then proceeded to give Evie five pounds and told her to buy herself a nice ice cream.
So that is exactly what we did. Thank you kind lady whoever you were, it made our day!
Yello Lorry, Green Lorry…
…note to self, do not leave back door open while children are equipped with dumper trucks.
Sound Effects (Part one)
It’s funny what noises amuses little minds. Even making farting and burping noises can keep my lot amused for hours on end (and me too).
Gruff is currently perfecting car sounds.
