frame

A few weeks ago Matt and I had been in the car, dropping him off for work, and we'd had a tiff about something-totally irrelevant, but it really got on my goat. I came home in a bad mood with him and found an email which said:
Can I have a fungi print for my office, pretty please?

So cute, and totally made me get over whatever it was...and how could I say no when he asked so nicely?

So today I got some frames-40% off. I'm quite happy with how they look. Suitable for a lawyer's office, don't you think? He got more than one because I really do love him.

Actually I went to get the frames to find one for this little painting I did this morning. The first of my frog paintings from my photos, and the first painting I've done in over a week.
I've found it hard to get back into my one a day routine-this week I've been tired and running the kids around for various things. But I'm happy with this-it was a struggle to work out how to make him suspended in water-in the photo the water is crystal clear. And the smudgy swirliness was a happy accident. This one I'm going to give to Matt's colleague whose pond the kids swam in.

And while I was buying frames, I found this super cute little iron on transfer book, with heaps of little transfers. From this design team-I love the colours and the funky little creatures. Can't wait to have a play with those...but not today. Today we have a real summer day and we've cracked 30C. Too hot in the attic, although the kids insisted on making cookies.
But a perfect day for wearing my opshop skirt. I love this skirt-it makes me happy, even if it is one size too small.
And since I was already up in the attic sweltering away, I thought I'd make a couple of tiny stamps with my off cuts (I can't help myself)
A squirrel (with enormous feet) and a fishy sharky thing.

  3. Oh, the frog - he is perfect! Look at that little face popping up! If Jack didn't get so freaked out about frogs I would want this picture too! Ah well, it's going to a good home.
    The fungi pics look beautiful in the black frames. And the view outside your house looks picturesque! Wendy xx
