Kittys Drawings

Just a quick post today to tell you all I’ll be away for the rest of this week.

It’s the boyfriend’s big Three Oh and we’re headin out West in a camper. Who knows where we’ll end up – I’m leavin the drivin’ and the decisions to him and enjoying the ride. He also instructed me to ditch the vintage in favour of cargo pants and tshirts…Ah well, who can say no to the birthday boy? It will be more practical anyway so I’m actually looking forward to not having to put on makeup every day and stressing too much about which dress to wear. There’s a certain freedom in such restrictions eh

A quirky feature of the trip is we have a list of challenges to complete. We haven’t finalised them as yet but all our good friends helped with suggestions via Facebook (thanks guys!!). I’ll do a post of everything when we get back, and best to show the intended list and completed list after the fact, no? In truth, I’m too lazy to write it all out now heheh.

So no drawings til then I’m afraid!! I should take the sketchbook huh? Or maybe the camera will be enough. Let’s see if the break releases some new creative thoughts.

And cos I always want to leave you with something – here’s the bf himself helping out with the reflector (on a cloudy day!) – this was the other week where I dressed up in my friend Sal’s Mum’s wedding dress and they all took photos of me. Yay (such a narcissist)! Thanks to Dave for the photo (hope you don’t mind me using it!!). Dumb faces all round

Ciao!

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
