Some Woolly Doings

-

After the dramatic weather at the start of the week things have calmed down and we've even had a snippet of sun. It's very cold though!


 We had a beautiful rainbow over the harbour.

I've just noticed that boat in the foreground is called 'Serenity'. It seems to sum up the picture doesn't it? 
( actual reality = bitingly cold wind! )

Shall I show you my new woolly creations?
I've knitted myself a jumper in these gorgeous colours. ♥ ♥ ♥


 I bought a ball of the coppery brown to go with the multi coloured wool. I think it matches quite nicely.
I love this colour combo so much, I'd like to cover the whole world in it. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

But I won't just yet
 Because I have a large bag of double knit that's been waiting patiently to be made into a shawl.

I spent ages choosing which colours to use but there was one in particular that had to be included. Can you guess which one?


Oh my lordy how much do I love crocheting with that delicious glittery purple?! Yes it was the purple glitter one. Did you guess right?


Purple glitter. ♥♥♥♥♥ That's all I'm saying.

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it!
