finito

We had a great little break up in Vermont over the weekend. Although I took 2 cameras, I didn't take one single solitary photo. We spent Saturday together going to visit a sheep cheese farm (came home with cheeses and home made sausages- and nearly the cat that Ella fell in love with) had a bit of a drive and a lovely lunch and then Matt and I went out for our anniversary. Dinner and a very cool band. Lots of fun and a bit too much dancing on my broken toe.

Sunday and Monday the kids and Matt skied and snowboarded with our friends. Sunday night our friends took Matt and I out to dinner. Wow! Two nights in row. We got home late Monday night then woke up yesterday to more snow than we'd had in Vermont! Poor Matt has had to go back to work, while the kids have this week off and we're all taking it very easy.

I even managed to finish (I think) my Caribbean starfish painting today.
I'm quite happy with it, 'though I think I'll have another go at another one at some stage.
Thanks for the comments about Oscar's art. I'm quite proud of him I have to say.

  1. looks great George. I have never done a repetative pattern picture like that. Maybe thats why I dont do pattern very well, or knitting, or crotcheting, or quilting! I love the red. I can imagine one on a big canvas and going off the side of it. Would look good in my red kitchen!

  2. Well done, it looks so 3 dimensional and real, like a sculpture. I'm glad the title 'finito' wasn't a reference to no more trips to Vermont, but to the finished painting instead. love mum xx
