Rainbows

More butterfly cards 🦋

We have started making a paper mache basket for Easter 💛 

We're still ill and staying at home as the weather is very wet in the UK. 

I was walking home from work today and saw this beautiful rainbow 🌈 and then I wrote a few lines about it:

When your feeling really blue,

Sometimes a rainbow will show for you.

Red, orange, yellow, blue,

Then purple showing through.

The colours comfort you,

A spectrum of perfection,

In a moment, gone too soon.

Sometimes wherever you are in your life, nature can work wonders and bring the sunshine back 🌞 I'm going to draw more rainbows soon 🌈 hope you have a good weekend

Today's paintings

 

Paintings we made today 🌞 Multi coloured butterflies 🌈🦋

Daffodils

Cards me and E made together recently for family 🦋 more butterflies and the sunshine 🌞

We're both a bit ill but poor E has been very poorly this week and ended up in hospital. Thank goodness for the NHS staff who so kindly sorted her out. She is now back home ❤️ she is recovering ❤️ she has two nasty viruses, poor little love

We are staying at home and colouring in together/watching some Disney films, perfect way to get better ❤️

We've noticed the daffodils are coming out. We spotted some on one of our walks together before.

I love daffodils. They are a celebration of spring to me. Joyful yellow bobbing heads, just beautiful 💛

Death tarot card

 

The death tarot card ☠️ I'm not happy with the ribs and hands but I have an ill toddler to look after so I'm not going to do it again. It's based on the design by Oswald Wirth. I'm sure this is very valentine's appropriate!

Colouring in

      

Stuff we're making this week 🌞We're still obsessed with colouring pencils ❤️

We love colouring in ❤️

And we've been making valentine's cards ❤️

❤️ Happy love day to you ❤️

Brockenhurst

We were lucky enough to visit Brockenhurst again.

It's a beautiful walk, past the horses in the field, towards the woods and river. 

It's my favourite place in the UK. You can't bet the New Forest.

Well worth a visit 🌿

Blue

I've been feeling a bit blue lately, for different reasons. I won't go into it on here but I reckon I'm not alone, this time of year is hard on everyone. It's surviving winter... It's been so cold

So we've been keeping busy at home and made some play dough shapes...

I've bought some blue fabrics for the quilt as I was running out of shades of blue and brown.

I'm going to have to be more careful with money and will have to cut down on buying fabric which is hard to do (for me at least!)

Even though winter has felt hard, it makes me appreciate spring. I'm really looking forward to better weather and the flowers coming out again 🌼 we saw some snowdrops at the park...

I hope you are finding ways to get through winter and little ways to make it easier. I'm going to try to take more walks with my little girl and count my blessings, there's always things to be grateful for in life. And tomorrow is another day as they say 💙

Tarot cards

 

I've started making some tarot cards. Thet need a bit of work (I haven't done any figurative drawing for years) and I may start again but I thought it's something fun to do. 

I don't know if I'll get all of them done but it's been enjoyable so far and saving money not having to buy any 🌛 they are based on the designs of Oswald Wirth but I'm changing some of the details

The love design is my own ❤️ hope your having a good week
