'On my way to another lazy morning'

Winter is here to stay and the coats and hats are on! I'm now back home for the next few weeks, already stocking up on home-baked goodies and warming my toesies by the fire. I went to a carol service last night and it was nice to reflect on the meaning of Christmas, as well as listen to some beautiful songs and readings.
My next few days are dedicated to baking, eating, sleeping, painting and watching movies with my family - Moi je - Fais Rien sums up my lovely lazy attitude to life at the moment.

Below are a few photos taken last week when my flatmate and I went for a saunter around Mills Observatory in Dundee.

A New Year

Some photos of my Christmas at home, as I reflect on the past year and all that it has brought with it, the (mostly) good and the bad. I'm so excited about what 2014 is going to bring!

Here's to a New Year!

Grubs up!

I got some lovely new art supplies for Christmas - sketchbooks, pencils, paints. So, naturally, I had to try them all out as soon as possible!
Here is an illustration of our beautiful dinner table on Christmas day featuring some of my particular favourites; apricot stuffing, garlic mushrooms, roasties and Strawberry and Lime Kopparberg. YUM!

'Twas the Night before Christmas

Today I wrapped presents, chopped red cabbage, peeled potatoes and made a centre piece for our table. Now I'm sipping a hot spiced apple drink and waiting to watch a classic Christmas movie with my family, before getting to bed so Santa can arrive! Tomorrow I intend to eat my body weight in food and chocolates, have to get a good night's sleep for that too. And the weather forecast predicts snow - what a big day ahead!

                 Merry Christmas to everyone!



    

Long Journey Home

I arrived home for Christmas on Wednesday evening, after a windy, rainy, rocky and very delayed journey across the Irish Sea. I spent a few days before in Edinburgh, where I visited the German Christmas Market, a renowned horrendously awful club and my sisters flat for Christmas dinner.
Here is a quick drawing I sketched while on my way home in the bus... more work to follow shortly!

A little drawing I made a few nights ago, I scanned the drawing in and coloured it in on Photoshop. 'Have a chirpy Christmas everyone!'
