Today, I decided to do some watercolour with the book I had bought last year.

I made myself a coffee with a biscuit I like ( I first had them during a stay in Greece they were called Papadopoulos these one are salted caramel ones.

In Greece they were chocolates ones and I ate them with my iced coffee!) happy to find them in france.

It is not perfect, but I spent all my afternoon doing it.

 It is a long time since I did some drawing and painting 

I will continue with this little book to improve and my aim is to do some “carnets de voyage” travel books.

So I am going to continue and practice!

I had a nice day enjoying to do this little water colour and will continue tomorrow, then it will be the weekend and with Mr L we will go out and be busy! My weekend are always busy!

Happy weekend to you!

Bright ideas for the cold days!

 This morning, I am reading some old “Country Living” magazines  before I start the day and do some ironing and store some of the Summer clothes.( keep one or two because the temperature is back to 25 C!

I found these pages about ideas and creations to do during the winter time.

First idea: Make your garden grow: design a dream scheme, create a Spring flower display ( we will)

Feed the birds( we do) 

Order your seeds( done)

Second idea: plan a craft project.

Pretty pin board.

Storage solution ( I will use some fabric I have in stock to make dust bags for my hand bags and some 👟)

Fabric pictures. ( already done)

Furniture makeover ( more to do this winter)

Patchwork throw. ( a good idea to use fabric)

Third idea:

Find a good book for a rainy day.

Fourth idea: 

Create your own artwork.

Picture frame, homemade cards …

Fifth idea: cook up a winter treat:

Preserve the season, make hot chocolate ( so good 😊)

Bake a loaf, cook a casserole.

And do some exercise , walk in wintry landscape! 

Little fabric frames

I have better go and work! See you later have a good day!
