    How did it get to be the end of August already!

    Today's MS:
    • listed the Lesser Celandine this morning
    • sold my Bluebells :j To an MS friend who already has one of my paintings. What a compliment - I'm delighted :D
    • a little admin work
    • postman delivered the finger puppets - really sweet and all hand stitched so bits can't be pulled off by little fingers
    • kitchen cleaning on the agenda today
    • and, by popular request, painted a Dragonfly. He wasn't as difficult as I thought he was going to be and I'm pleased with the way his wings have come out. I'll mount and list him tomorrow
    • had an offcut of paper to use up so did another ACEO. This time a Lacewing. I'll wait and see how the Ladybird does on Fleabay before deciding what to do with him
    • Leftover Risotto for supper tonight but it will need padding out with some extra veggies - might be able to coax some carrots and beans out of the garden (if I'm lucky):rotfl:
    Friday tomorrow! Yay! Have a good one.

    We have had a lovely bank holiday weekend. We went to stay with some old friends in Wolverhampton who we haven't seen for a while. It was lovely to see them again. Can't say it was a completely MS weekend but it didn't break the bank and all was within budget. They took us up the Wrekin which made up for missing Step yesterday :eek:

    Back home now and time to start that diet again :o

    Hope you all had a great weekend too.
