Sue Bleiweiss of the Sketchbook Challenge sent me these lovely postcards promoting the Sketchbook Challenge book which will be released in June.  I am so excited to be a part of this wonderful book! You can pre-order the book.

This is the sitting area which used to be where the bed lived in the magic cottage.  It was getting more difficult for Mr. G to get into bed with his bad back. You had to crouch around the billowing fabric swags to get in Smile.

Mr. G has been working for the past several weekends on creating a bedframe for the bed.  He loves making things out of wood – i love to paint them bright colours, he loves the natural wood colour so every now and then he gets his way Smile. I’m good as long as i can surround the dark wood items like the bedframe and the table in the sitting area with lots of colour and whimsy. The bedframe has drawers in it so i can store some books and linens in them.

I am such a creature of habit and don’t like too many changes.  Isn’t that funny?  You’d think being an artist I’d like to change things up a bit. I’m pretty thrilled with the results though!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

      Mr G is so clever – working with wood must be so satisfying – the smell and feel of it. I’ve been collecting driftwood for the edges of my garden – not the same at all but I do love having natural materials around me.
