My favourite is the guy with the trolley, he was the first thing I drew. I don't think I'll make my fortune as an artist.
Or a garden designer
These I drew this morning after pondering on what I can do with the wasteland outside my bedroom window. We are on a battle ax block and this is as the end of the drive. At the moment it's a weedy mess with concrete chunks and odd junk, there's a rickety paling fence on 2 sides. On the other side of the fence is my neigbour's shed/garage/granny flat, there's a window directly facing my bedroom window. I'd like to cover that window but not take away their light and came up with the above design. The pillars are or might be brick supporting a white washed wall with a leadlight window, with either coloured or frosted glass. The area will be paved, potted plants and a breakfast table. The area catches the sun in the morning and will be a great place to have breakfast. Now I just have to talk David into it, he is claiming the space for his boat. Boat? We have a canoe.
Today I went to the Red S and bought 3 folders titled The Country Look, they are mainly about design, projects and even recipes. It's not the full set I am missing folder 2 and it looks like folder 5. The 3 books cost me $10 and are filled with a treasure trove of great decorating ideas.
I also bought 2 bags, brand new with tags attached, not great brands but I really like them. One was a small backpack, I'm keeping it in the car for when I go on unplanned walks to carry my purse and keys, the other is a drawstring shoulder bag. It's strap was missing so I asked for a discount and then found a belt to replace the strap, they gave me the belt for free. The original strap buckled onto the bag, all I had to do was to cut the buckle off the bag and put holes in the end.
