(There's something better coming up later in the post... bear with me...)
I wanted to quickly sketch the depth of the snow for you this morning (to share for Sunday Sketches). But the truth is, I am far too excited to actually get out in it and play and so this sketch is wildly out of proportion and frankly a bit of a disaster... but you get the gist. The measure on there is 8cm! Yes, 8cm of lovely fresh snow to go play in. Our first proper downfall this winter and who knows how long it will last.
The sketch looks more like a Christmas cake than a garden table. I couldn't find a ruler - hence the set square, but I think that worked better anyway!
My son and I are just waiting for the hour to be a bit more sociable before we venture outside and begin shrieking with delight as we throw snowballs, craft snowmen and generally cause mayhem.
As this sketch is a bit of a mess, I think I should also share a more complete piece of journalling I did yesterday. A face... what a surprise! I have seen other bloggers taking part in 29 faces and creating one portrait a day throughout the month of February. Normally, I would have leapt on this like a kid in his first snowdrift, but I am soooo busy mes amies that I am trying very hard not to leap at every opportunity that hits me in the face snowball style.

ReplyDeleteWell....you can keep all of that lovely snow, because I don't want it (you can tell my kids are older :)
ReplyDeleteWe've only had a few days this winter with some snowfall--heaven. Last year, it started in November and we didn't see green again until March, which is normal around here..so you can just keep all of that snow!

It sounds like a lot of fun was had by you all. The first snow is always met with such anticipation and excitement. I hope you had some hot cocoa after the snowball fight. What fun!!

Oh and your pretty lady on the purple and green journal page is lovely.
I had no snow this winter, but maybe next week hopefully :-)... she is beautiful and I love the backgroundcolors as well!
ReplyDeleteWe've had snow too, must be at least 1/2"!
ReplyDeleteLove the portrait, she has a hidden secret I think, waiting to be revealed.
I'm amazed that it is your first snowfall this year. I know you are having fun in it.
ReplyDeleteI love that you placed the butterfly gal as your banner and as far as the face you just finished, she's divine. Her colors and mystical look make her dreamy.
