Sunday Sketchblog #57

I often wondered why planning a wedding seemed to be such a big job. I still do, as I'm not sure what's taking up all our time, but take up our time it does. So this week's sketch was just a quick one whilst attempting to sort out the music... nothing like a bit of multi-tasking!

Sunday Sketchblog #56

Usually I try to make sure my Sunday Sketchblog is something I've drawn from life, but not this week...

As you read this, I will hopefully be recovering from my 'hen party'. I have no idea what we're doing, except that I've been told to organise myself a 1920s outfit. I'm pretty confident there won't be any L plates or strippers, but I'm not sure we'll manage to comport ourselves as elegantly as these ladies...

Illustration Friday: Egg

A very seasonal topic again, although I've tried not to give in too much to the obvious Easteryness.

For those who might not be familiar with some of the rarer types of egg I've featured here, a Scotch egg is a hardboiled egg wrapped in sausage meat and breadcrumbs, a curate's egg is one that is 'excellent in parts' and a century egg is one that has been preserved for a terribly long time.

Tea

Especially when the question is 'how can we ever get warm during this never-ending winter!'

Sunday Sketchblog #55

Happy Easter! I hope the Easter Bunny has left plenty of chocolate eggs under your pillow...

A seasonal sketch - this little chap has been sitting on my desk all week. I have a (convenient, if admittedly slightly indulgent) delivery of little snacks from Graze every week and at certain seasonal times of the year they like to include a little figurine to assemble out of cardboard.

(If anyone has been tempted by my slothlike ways and also fancies having food delivered to their desk, using the code 3GFHMX5 when you sign up will give you a free box and me a pound off, I think!) 

Illustration Friday: Swim

This week's topic is swim, so here are some very aquatic (and probably rather chilly) swimming ladies. 

I must admit that I'm not great with water - I get seasick when on it, and am very worried about eels and drowning when in it.

Stripes

I seem to be very keen on stripes at the moment. I was put off them at an early age after my aunt dressed me and my sister in sailor suits (sort of...) for her wedding, but am now making up for lost time.
