Leaves pattern

I’ve started putting together two of my favourite subjects: nature and pattern. Let’s see where this will go.

40/52

It’s week 40 and now it feels we are quickly reaching the end of this project! It has been an easy week, even if it was just the two of us for almost three days.
This week you:
  • Talked during your sleep, a lot!
  • Learned how to do the puzzle by yourself, but being stubborn, you got upset if we’d come and help. But then got frustrated if you couldn’t do it right. There is no easy fix to this.
  • Enjoyed our walks in the mornings.
  • Loved playing in the cot with your new handmade quilt, pretending you were asleep.
  • Had a fun playdate at the playground and loved burying your feet in the sand.
  • Ate a lot and slept a lot, this week was magic.
From last week, loving the pics of the two Mummy Karma‘s boys. The light at sunset makes everything shine with magic.

On a sunday afternoon

The good thing when my little falls asleep in the car, is that I have time to sketch, read and do all the relaxing stuff that would otherwise be neglected and replaced by cleaning, tidying up and so on. As long as I have what I need with me, which is fortunately 99% of the time, I enjoy these rare moments very much.
Yesterday afternoon, we were on our way to Heathrow airport to pick up a certain someone from his weekend away in Rome…
We left home early, she felt asleep, so I stopped in a residential road nearby the airport and did some sketching. Apart from the constant noise of plane engines (I do wonder if people who leaves here are used to it!), it was a perfect sunny afternoon.

October

Happy October! Feeling a lot inspired this month and treating myself to some painting time.
