Hello! I hope you’re well. We made it THROUGH WINTER!!!
Happy Spring (Northern Hemisphere folk!) and happy Autumn (Southern Hemisphere folk)!!!!
How’s your week been? We’ve had a busy one but still I found joy in so many little details. I hope you did too!
Highlights of the week
Spring equinox of course! Cheerio winter months!!!
spotting our first butterflies of 2025
daffodils (I prefer the whiter ones)
more sunshine every morning and several lunches on our patio
celebrating St Patrick’s by drawing Irish landscapes on Monday with the club and guest Charlotte Hamilton
the very last of the crocuses
bright green hellebores
making more art on canvas inspired by the Greek jars I saw at the British Museum (can’t wait to share it all once it’s done, or would you like to see some of the process..??)
hard boiled eggs and toast

Tuesday 25th March 7pm (paid) : Co-Creating Session, we will continue what we started last month, as one session wasn’t enough.
