Word

Kristi asked me to choose the new weekword! So here goes: it is a simple word, but oh so precious; something we all want loads and loads of, but unfortunately we each have a limited amount only. And we can't buy more.
The weekword = time
So if you have time this week, you are all invited to play along! Leave me a comment on this post, and post your interpretation on your blog on Friday (or the weekend). It can be anything you have created: picture, drawing, photo, object, poem, story ... Have fun with it!

Weekword: Fantabulous


Kristi chose a wonderful word for this week. Fabulous is such a lovely 60's word, isn't it? And fantabulous, a blend of fantastic and fabulous, is even more ... well ... fantabulous!

Jacci's Jotters


I met talented Jacci last week to pick up my order of jotters - and I have to say they are even better in real life! Lovely front cover designs, great paper inside - just perfect for doodling, journal-keeping, note-making and lists. I ordered them as presents, but ha, ha! I have already appropriated two for myself. Jacci is having a giveaway on her blog, hop on over and enter!

(PS ... despite warnings, I have caught L'Usband's bug - head pounding, snuffling away, dripping on the keyboard - you can all be very glad that you are satellites away from me.)

Sick ...


Poor L'Usband has the flu and I am nursing him back to health (poor L'Usband, indeed!) No, actually, I am quite a good nurse - very patient and supportive and all that. Fluffing up pillows, making hotwater bottles, timing medication, taking temperatures - that kind of thing. So much so, that blogging will have to take a backseat until he is better ...

Weekword: Laziness


I know, I know ... But I just couldn't resist! If I have a less lazy interpretation of laziness I will post it later this weekend. But I doubt it. (I am lazy.)
Nathalie chose this week's weekword; for other participants, see her blog.

Doodling ...

I warned you that I was addicted!

Doodle ...

Leaves ...

Today feels like spring ...

Flowers ...

Love ...

Inspired by Esti's stones ...

We went to Sea Point on Sunday - what a glorious day! - sun, walking on the promenade, people-watching, sitting on the veranda at Winchester Mansions sipping white wine. But I forgot my camera which is why I doodled you this little picture.
For inspiring doodling by others see Linda Sue (here), Esti (here), Fruenswerk (here), Aimee (e.g. here) and Valentina (here)

Art journal

Some new pages - not quite finished ...

Karoo blossoms

Discovering the world through words ...

Doodles - I have become obsessed by and addicted to doodling ... (this one has already changed since I took the picture.)
