Sunday Sketches - My first double page spread in another 'Sistahs' book :0)

Hi guys, first of all Happy Mothers day to all you yummy mummies out there!!!
I have been very spoiled today as hubby has been preparing a special lunch since yesterday :0)

He made homemade spinach and ricotta gnocchi with a slow cooked pork spare rib tomato sauce topped with pancetta parsley and parmesan cheese, mixed salad with olives and fennel etc and garlic bread. I'm very lucky that hubby used to be a chef in his past life, for 15 years to be exact and every now and again I'm thankfully reminded. We had both our mums here for the day as well as the dads and had a lovely lunch out on our deck as it was a beautiful Autumn day :0)

I wanted to share this sketch that I did yesterday. It is part of the 'Sistahood of the travelling sketchbook' which I have mentioned before :0). Last week I received Eva's book and this entry is about "May". In our part of the world it is now Autumn so May for me is filled with those beautiful Autumn colours. It's my most favourite time of year and I never tire of seeing the leaves change into those beautiful striking reds and oranges.

I really like this design and can't wait to paint it!

Hope you're having a great weekend!!!!!

Sunday sketch and my first spread in the 'Sistahood of the travelling sketchbook'

Hi everyone here is my very first spread in my Sistahood of the travelling sketchbook. The opening spread on our books are to be about us perhaps using our favourite colours, subject matter, materials etc. Then we'll post this off to the next person and then next month we start doing the calendar months and what they mean to us.

I chose a colour combination that I seem to be drawn to alot. Warm orangey colours and blue. I just love how they look together and often seem to use them in my work. I chose to draw a whimsical style picture with butterflies and flowers as they seem to pop up in my work alot also :0) I hope I'm on the right track with this :0)

Finally had time to work on the cover of my sketch book for 'The sisterhood of the travelling sketchbook' that I'm taking part in this year. Read all about it at this post on Jaime's blog from Artsy Fartsy me :0).

I'm now thinking about my entry into this book before passing it on to the next person :0)
