a plate too small ...

... has resulted in an as yet unidentified creature.

Paint, research, varnish, blog, draw, design, felt, cook, clean, whistle dixie ... perhaps I had too much on my plate today. To the left is a little jot I did while thinking of a possible logo. In the middle of the night when I should have been sleeping, I imagined three circles of colour under a bird - turquoise blues, olive greens and ochre hues seem to be recurring at the moment.

Wa-hey! What do you reckon I'm gonna be??

What the... not sure I'm liking this...

Suppose I'll just have to be patient to find out.
Let's hope no one sees me in this state.

early morning paint

Yesterday was my second day of waking up earlier to try to get stuff done before the day job. Sadly, I had no internet when I awoke because we've just changed servers and Dan hadn't figured out how to get it up and working in my room yet. Slightly discouraging with my foggy head first thing in the morning, but then I saw my paints sitting by my computer. I haven't done one of my house-scapes in ages, but without thinking it was what I started to paint. And then, there it was...

 

 I got a fair bit of it done yesterday, and then added some sky colour etc. this morning. Not sure if it's done yet, 

but probably pretty close if not.

Last night, still no internet until quite late, I played around very quickly with some shapes and colours. I kind of like the result:

 I think this morning business might work out for me. 

Problem is, now I'm out of time and want to keep painting!

granny square #1 & new year mini-babble

Not the best it could be, but certainly not the worst! After two flub attempts, (and I'm still not entirely sure there's anything wrong with the second one), this is what I've ended up with. I think once I get my stitches more uniform and consistent that will make a lot of difference. All in all, I'm pretty happy.

New year? (okay, well a fortnight in, but whatever) New attempt at blogging. I'm going to try to stop myself, well... stopping myself. Without going into the numerous reasons I might do this either consciously or subconsciously, I will just announce here and now that I will make a genuine attempt not to... even if I seem to have nothing of substance to say or desire to babble on with streams of consciousness that may ensure anyone following will cease to do so.

Onwards and upwards.
