one drawing and a full nest

oooh i am in full swing nesting mode...spent the day gardening today...it was bliss. i now have geraniums in pots, herbs outside my kitchen window sill and a row of lovely assorted native plants and cottage flowers ready to be placed outside my lounge room window sill  to screen the view of my neighbours. i've been going flower crazy...i'm even sticking dried, sculptural type one's on the walls with masking tape next to drawings and other artworks. last weekend i put up hooks. nothing like being pregnant to really get things done around the house!


i actually haven't been drawing all that much. i've been spending more time with my two year old and i now only have one art day a week instead of three. we are happier for it. but i suppose my blog is not. i made this drawing on my last art day...another one for my 'motherhood' story book that i'm working on. still needs a little work, but pretty much fini...this one drawing that is...not the book!

my tiny lovely drawing nook

this is my tiny drawing nook that inspires me to make equally tiny drawings. 


my drawing desk was inherited from my husband's grandfather. i have never met him, but i'm told he used it as his letter writing desk. it sits snug next to my bed now. so when i wake in the middle of the night with ideas i just roll over and scrawl or draw them down. i love my small work space nook. it's all i need.

i think nooks are the most lovely places in a home, don't you?

oh my little doll made by pink snowflakes lives in this bed nook vicinity too. she is filled with lavender and helps me sleep.
