We begin

Today hubby took me to get some paints so I can practice at home 

I was only going to get some basic colours and use the outside table to paint on. 

He thought that was a bad idea and bought me am easel. 

The one he first looked at was very expensive. I didn’t want to spend lots on one 

And then decide I’m never going to get this  painting thing so I picked a cheaper one 

It’s perfectly ok for me right now 

I’ve set up an area just outside my craft room 

I even found my old paint holder that. Used when I did folk art many many moons ago. 

So I started by playing with colours 

Mixing and blending 

And then I tried waves. I’m having trouble with waves 

That’s what I’m trying to practice 

Waves and clouds 

While waiting for paint to dry between layers 

I made these sausage rolls 

I’ve had one for lunch and we will have some for dinner 

There should be some left for hubby’s lunch tomorrow 



I’ve stopped painting for today 

I’m back inside, listening to an audiobook and about to pick up my crochet hook 

I’m much more confident working with yarn lol
