Drawing by Helen Howell

Some of you know that I am a watercolour artist, but I also like to draw. I find drawing to be a very relaxing past time. It is an easy thing to do anywhere, at home at a desk or even while watching TV. Outside on a summers day. All you need is some paper, a few graphite pencils and in my case also a rubber. Sometimes I also like to add a touch of colour to some of my drawings, maybe the pink of the lips or a red of a rose.... so many ways to treat a drawing. This is one of mine, I hope you like it.

New Post Box Topper by Sue Way

The post box topper on our dog walk has been empty for a while, and I was worried that the lady who makes them might have given up. The last one she created, featuring Paddington Bear, was unfortunately stolen. So, I was delighted to see this beautiful new topper as we walked by. It depicts two swans to celebrate Valentines Day. Her creations are lovely and lift the spirits of people passing by, so I hope this one stays in place.

We … by Carol Clarke

…. Had a lovely day with our youngest grandson lat weekend. Austin who is 11 next month, and hes the youngest of our six grandchildren, (our oldest is over 30! lol) Ohhh but did we have fun! Out came the Lego and the board games ( a few years ago II made huge boards out of a new TV box and painted stones as the counters) but we had the most hilarious time playing with a pink balloon! lol

First Book Nook by Janice McFarlane

My husband and I love books and reading, although my husband reads a lot more than I do. I particularly love old books even if they look a bit worse for wear and I love displaying them. If we lived in a large house our dream would be to have a library room, but instead we have to settle with a small area for our books. I recently saw these book nook kits and purchased a small one. There are various styles available and they are very detailed. The pieces snap together to create a room and different themes are available. Mine was a library setting and it took a couple of days to complete. My husband helped me decipher the instructions and voila I now have this gorgeous little vintage book nook which also lights up. I will definitely be doing more of these in the future.
