on saturday

we were at my inlaws' (we're home now)
lil* one was sick shortly after going to bed on Friday evening. The next day he didn't remember at all. Must have happened during his deep sleep. But I don't know what caused the sickness. Oh well. He's totally fine now.

and yesterday (Saturday), hubby didn't feel weel all day. Well, talk about a bit of a weird start of the weekend. He wasn't sick but had stomach aches & had a major nap (almost 3 hrs, so NOT his habit, he doesn't like to nap) He could eat a bit yesterday evening & this morning too ... I hope it will clear today too.

here are a couple of photos from yesterday.

we experienced a bit of a British kind of summer weather yesterday, if I may say so ... it was sometimes very hot under the sun, sometimes very cloudy & overcast, and sometimes it rained, and this, several times in the day. Not the ususal kind of weather.

it didn't prevent me from painting a bit. I had brought what I needed to paint watercolor gift tags, because I was on a roll. (apparently) I painted 4 sets of 4 tags, which I was totally happy about. It is a small sized project that I can tackle anytime, and for which I have instant results. Therefore, amazingly good for the soul, ahah ! I need to take photos today & I will list them later today or tomorrow, I don't know how the day will go. I had a teeny tiny visitor when I painted outside ... maybe she wanted me to paint her ?

maybe she wanted me to paint her

on Friday, I had managed to cut & sew another wrist cuff, that was not planned at all, as I had two others already cut ! It's in the shop

the lining is white on white polka dots (yes yes it exists !!!), the button is heart shaped & made of coconut shell, and the red elastic cord is salvaged, like all th elastic cords I use.

in other news ... I have started working on my zine, yay yay yay ! I have not too high expectations (because I have clearly no experience in the illustration area, nor in the writing one, etc ... so I'll let the flow come & I'll see how the wind will take me to ...) But I've got the title & the cover already, even though the cover is subject to change / evolve of course.

ok, one last thing, because I feel like to (and nothing more)


have a wonderful Sunday everyone !
take care
xoxo

  1. oh yes, that is British weather Sonia! It must have taken a wrong turning on it's way here! Although, today we have wall to wall rain. But of course, Bank Holiday tomorrow, the law says it HAS to rain! ;o)

    I hope all illness has gone now, and doesn't hang around. Sounds like some kind of nasty bug has got to the men in your life.

    Have a very lovely and creative Sunday. That cuff is fabulous, I'm sure it will be snapped up quickly. xx

  2. Aw, sorry to hear that you have sickies on your hands. I hope everyone is feeling back to normal soon.

    The photos are beautiful, and I'm really loving that third one down.

    I think we should all start wearing enormous pink hats, don't you think? I'll learn French and we can sing in the street together. :) xoxo

  4. Sonia,
    Your iron garden seat photo is really beautiful! And the video clip was such a treat. I first became aware of the movie through the blog of artist Brigette Barrager. Here is the link to the specific post: http://brigetteb.blogspot.com/2009/06/les-demoiselles-de-rochefort.html

    I hope everyone is in good health now!
