Day 38 - 44 // 365 2015

Day 38 - Mum and dad drove up to give us their old sofa so I made an apple cake. I used this recipe but used all flour for the 200g of dry ingredients and plain old sugar, I don't even think it was caster let alone golden. It was tasty.



Day 39 - When they gave us a sofa they also gave us a massive mirror so here I am being a bit scruffy in front of it.



Day 40 - Making hang tags under the watchful eyes of sausage dogs.



Day 41 - "Past Me was dumb to go on that diet. Past Me didn't remember how tasty sammiches are!" Catching up on my Adventure Time comics.



Day 42 - Waiting for Will to appear with chips.



Day 43 - Hanging out in the dark.



Day 44 - A fancy new dress waiting to be worn.

Days 30 - 37 // 365 2015

Day 30 ~ I love that manic face.


Day 31 ~ A late Christmas present. A late awesome Christmas present.


Day 32 ~ A newly finished llamacorn.


Day 33 ~ Tree by the river. I love how the shiny lines look like someone drew on the bark with a gold paint marker.
 
Day 34 ~ What I'm currently reading. I already highly recommend it.


Day 35 ~ Mum and Dad gave me this Nikki McWilliams cushion for Christmas. It hasn't found a permanent home yet but it's so perfect it almost doesn't matter. It's just brightening up where ever it happens to be sitting.


Day 36 ~ Studio wall decorations.



Day 37 ~ We don't have a sofa at the minute and although it's totally impractical I kinda love it. There's so much space. This corner normally has a single seater in it but that's moved to where the sofa usually is for now plus a floor full of pillows and blankets. If I wasn't such an old lady at sitting on the floor (and it being a little anti social) I'd suggest we keep it like this.

Sketchbook ~ Cheesy Pigs

I've come to the end of another sketchbook.  We ordered new sketchbooks from Cass but they made some sort of packing mistake and we got two books we hadn't ordered instead of the two books we did order and because they're awesome they're sending out our books and also letting us keep the mistake books. Yay, free sketchbooks! Even though it's not the book I wanted it's still lovely and I've got new sketchbook anxiety pretty bad. I'm just sitting there looking at it thinking about how good it could be and then realising that I'm never happy with how my sketchbooks turn out. Sketchbooks are so lovely I want to do them justice! I need to just get on with it, I don't think I'll ever stop worrying about ruining sketchbooks. Blank paper is scary.



Apparently cheesy pigs are what some people call woodlice?! I'd never heard of it before and am amazed.

What My Phone Saw ~ January

Thank you card // New shoes

 

Making good colour choices // Bedside lamp

 

Thank you note // Visiting the studio



Hugs // Dorothy Parker

 

Bunnies // We don't have a cat but when it's cold she tries

For some reason my phone camera keeps setting itself back to the lowest resolution which is confusing and annoying.

Hourly Comic Day 2015

1st February each year is Hourly Comic Day. You simply have to draw a comic every hour. I decided I was going to actually do it this year after agreeing with myself that I wasn't going to get caught up in it being any good. I just literally wanted to draw a comic every hour no matter how crap, just so I'd done it. Crap drawing is better than no drawing. And I managed it! Not the most interesting day, I was tired and in a bit of a funk but I just about managed to think of something for each hour. And some of them are complete crap but I don't care ^_^

 

Crochet ~ Cat Bus

 
I made a Cat Bus for Will's sister who had a birthday last week. I didn't have a particular plan for it. I knew I wanted to make some sort of Cat Bus and just made it up as I went along and figured it'd be quite funny if it was usable so it turned out to be some sort of pencil case/clutch/pouch type thing. Whatever it is, I might have to make one for myself.
 

Days 22 - 29 // 365 2015

 
Day 22 - Listening to the 'new' Paramore album using the playstation and telly. The day after I bought it they announced an 'end of this album tour' type thing. I'm always so on trend and up to date.


Day 23 - Money plant in the morning.


Day 24 - Late night 'I haven't taken a photo' photo.


Day 25 - Photographing some new cuties.



Day 26 - Doing the boring jobs on the to do list.


Day 27 - Bad photo but this strawberry was so fancy.


Day 28 - It arrived! I've been so so excited about this and then we missed the delivery and had to wait for it to come back but now it's here and although I haven't started reading it yet it looks so awesome.


Day 29 - Sitting in a yarn nest waiting for legs.
