A couple of quick sketches I did while I was in France.  I made the resolution to do a small sketch every day when I got home.  Have I done that?  No .... I haven't even opened my sketch notebook.  Oh well - I'm sure I'll get my act together soon!

Back to normal!  Jaz, as ever, is besotted with her ball, and I, as ever, love to walk along the beach........as they say -'there's no place like home!"

It seems ages since I last wrote my blog....I do miss it, but find it doesn't work as well from my phone - so I need to wait till I get home!  Had a good week in France and on the last day had a spectacular walk up in the mountains.  Fantastic views etc. and you can see the Italian coastline which is only about 15 miles away.  Anyhow, now I'm back and re-gearing my life (as usual!!!).  Although I love going away - I always love to come home.....need to get my creativity off the ground so today shall be revving up.......

Autumn colours are now emerging....it always amazes me how things in nature work to order.....very reassuring!!  The sun now has a softer light and everything is looking rather golden.   I'm off to France this week, so may or may not be able to blog from there.  I'm hoping to get lots of inspiration, and am about to pack my sketch book!!

I have recently joined a really relaxed and enjoyable creative group and yesterday I had a couple of  hours of chatting and needle felting...this is the result of my time (oh yes,, I forgot to say that we are always given delicious homemade cake, which really aids production!!).  In fact, I'm getting back into felting again.  Maybe because the summer is gradually closing down, and thoughts of a cold winter are looming.  Also, I sold quite a bit of felt at a an exhibition last week - so this has spurred me on!

Some people are so clever the way they display their ways.....I think this shopfront in Brighton is so gorgeous...makes me want to go in and buy!!
