  • Morning Fortune, hope you are enjoying the sun - I have visions of you sat with an easel and water colours, gently creating gorgeous paintings :)

    Have a great weekend, Tilly x x

    Spent most of yesterday painting and finally finished the Land Rover. Here she is. I'm really pleased with how she's turned out so she will be going on the list for a card when I have enough designs. And maybe a jigsaw.... and some mugs :D


    A laid back day today, pottering and doing chores. Mr F has been keeping on top of some household repairs and maintenance. We avoided the temptation of a takeaway tonight in favour of a day out tomorrow. We are heading off to a classic car show so Mr F can get his fix and I can take some photos for more paintings :rotfl:


    Enjoy the sunshine peeps, while it lasts.

    A jigsaw is a great idea - I love doing them.

    I think they are very popular with people of 'a certain age'. They always sell quickly in our local garden centre.

    I'd love to have a creative talent. I have written a few stories, just for fun, but nothing that anybody would want to read!

    You could end up with a whole range of artwork products, I think it's great:)

    Thank you Goldiegirl. Why don't you test that assumption? It's not too difficult to set up a blog or to publish electronically. Give it a go. You never know where it might lead.

    Oh dear. I must be of a 'certain age' then :rotfl:.

    Lovely pic FS :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I think I may qualify - I love jigsaws too :o Thank you all for your continued support. I do really value your opinion and I know if you like my paintings, there'll be others out there who like them too.


    Well a busy few days:
    • went to the Faversham Transport Weekend on Sunday. What a fabulous day out! We used the free park and ride but did indulge in a Sunday lunch out and an ice cream. All in the fun budget though
    • Step on Monday followed by a few chores in the market town then an afternoon and evening of admin work. Only one more meeting to go now :)
    • started work on the new car commission. Preliminary sketch completed and I may be able to put paint to paper tomorrow
    We have guests on Thursday evening so I'm busy getting the house in order. The new bed will be tested!


    Hump day tomorrow - yay!
