Just a quick post today to say…I WON SOMETHING!!!!!
Eeeeeeee!!!
A lovely blog that I read, by Twila at The Mysterious Life of a Metropolitan Housewife recently had a competition to celebrate her first blogging anniversary. The prize was a gorgeous aqua repro 50′s dress by Shristi Studio on Etsy. And as with many contests, I enter and then promptly forget about it….but today I saw on Twila’s blog that I had WON. Woooo!!!
So without furher ado, here is my prize…picture courtesty of Twila & Shristi Studio of course.

I can’t wait for it to arrive. Yay!! SO HAPPY!

Omg – posting on Christmas Day. Who’d've thought! Welll……I am waiting on the darling boyfriend to return from work. My lamb roast is in the oven (shit, that reminds me, I have to put the potatoes on!) and the dessert is setting in the fridge – Vanilla panna cotta with raspberry coulis. Mmmm.
So in the meantime I got to browsing Etsy…which lead me via some tangents to other vintage sites…..and spying a pretty pretty dress which was alas, sold. Damn! So I drew it instead. There I was thinking I’d be too lazy to draw over the Xmas break – but sometimes the urge to pick up a pencil is too strong and a drawing just happens.
Now, it’s hardly polished or anything fancy – but colour sketches always turn out nice enough to put on the blog. So here you go – something to look at while you’re trying to digest all that Christmas food and trying not to fall asleep. Heh

Hope you’re all having a good holiday! I am
