Yep! You guessed it...More new shoes! One of the pressies I got this Christmas!
It feels good to be sketching again, after what seems like such a huge break.
Happy New Year to all, may 2011 find you all in good health!

I haven't sketched much at all lately, which really isn't like me BUT I have had to catch up on all those jobs I couldn't do while I was feeling poorly...so I do have an excuse ...of sorts!
I miss my journal though.
In our last class together, Jane and I used the last 10 mins or so to sketch one another at the same time, a challenging task to say the least, but Jane is a wonderful person and a fantastic student who always rises to a challenge.
I went for it... I got myself some choppy layers and a fringe! I kept the length but now my hair stays out of my face, which is what has been annoying me.
Not been sketching too much recently, I've been trying to catch up on the six weeks that I was poorly; Christmas shopping, tidying and the never ending laundry! Feeling much better but even now this dreaded bug still lingers slightly, nothing I can't handle now though!
On Sunday I went into Ely to collect a Christmas gift and decided to treat myself to a cream tea in Peacocks before venturing home to cook the Sunday roast.
I love Peacocks!
My studio turned into a salon again today as I coloured my roots ready for the festive season. I'm booked in for a trim tomorrow afternoon and I am seriously thinking about a style change...been thinking about it for several years now, maybe this time I'll pluck up the courage to take the plunge!?!

I can't tell you how wonderful it was to have something new in the house to sketch! I feel like I've been a prisoner in these four walls forever with this recent illness that has lasted almost 6 weeks!!!
I am feeling much more like myself now....not perfect...but then, was I ever perfect?...I can't remember! LOL!
Couldn't resist a pot of red to brighten up the home and mark the end of another foul November and the beginning of 'the Christmas month'...Just 24 days to go...I'm so excited!
A quick sketch of the view from my studio window using gouache, just to capture some of the recent snow in my daily journal.
