Going Potty

Yesterday I decided to have a go at stacks of plant pots in the garage.   I had not realised how cockeyed I had got the plant pots at the front until I photographed the sketchbook pages. I have also been puzzling about what the shadow was to the left in the background.  Now realise that it is the garage brickwall.

Kitchen Cupboards

I keep drawing cutlery at the moment to keep myself sane and busy. Moving on to stacks of plant pots later this week.  Still managing to get out cycling thank goodness, but wonder how long it will be before we are told not to go out at all.

Managed a bit of stitching this week.  I am still using up leftover fabric.  I have a second quilt top pieced ready for quilting and then lots of other pieces which may be enough to make a hanging or smaller quilt.  I have got a bit hooked on making these circles.  They are quite easy to do and can look very effective. They certainly use up small scraps of pieced fabrics.

Week 2 of Lockdown

Thankfully at the moment I can still go out on my bike (when it is warm enough). Today I did over 30 miles by riding out to Hanley Swan and then doing four laps of a 4 mile loop which we use on Wednesday evenings for Fitness Rides. At least we did until the Covid-19 came along!!  Some of my fellow cyclists are doing a virtual ride on a Wednesday evenings on Zwift, but as I have not got the facilities to do that I decided to do an actual Fitness Ride on my own on the wrong day. I also did a 20 mile solo ride on Tuesday around Alfrick.

In addition to this I have decided to participate in Linda and Laura Kemshal's DMTV Sketchbook Workshop. It is something I have thought about for quite a while and this seems an ideal opportunity to get on with it and keep myself motivated.

First task was to draw items from my cutlery drawer.  I have had second thoughts since then and might use gardening stuff from the garage which will fit in nicely with my own personal 'Allotment' and 'Shed' themes which I am always returning to.

This should have been in black and white but I made the mistake of using Payne's Grey which is obviously blue.
