if: yield

I know that nobody is thinking about the autumn now but this one works well with this week's topic.

a break and new friends

We went for a very nice day trip to Blair Atholl, Pitlochry and Dunkeld. The weather was just fantastic, the views spectacular and I think I made new friends there! Not sure what they were after but they suddenly appeared running like crazy towards me and then pecking at my legs and when I told them it hurts they started pecking my boots. They would stop from time to time and look at me and then pecked again. Perhaps they read my Fox and Chicken book before and wanted to express they appreciation!

The break from illustration seems to be going very well. Kate came over last week with a huge bag and brought Gertruda, the most helpful and ergonomic sewing machine in the universe! Thank you! And new Harris Tweed mice were born - Heather, Alpin and Sheena.

hedgehog

I think I am tired. Everything I touch turns into dust and the things are generally going the opposite direction I would like them to. This is the sign I need to take a break from everything and go on holiday. I love travelling, being on the move, train, bus, plane, boat, this is when I come up with the best ideas and this is when I produce my best pictures (somewhere between the check-in and departure gate). So I decided no more drawing before I go on holiday. The hedgehog is my latest attempt. Not sure what this guy is thinking about...perhaps he is considering going for a trip too.

autumnal

For some reasons autumn inspires me to draw and make animals comsuming lots of food and falling asleep. And I am not much different.

Z tajemniczych powodów zaczęłam ostatnio rysowac zwierzęta, które jedzą strasznie dużo, po czym zapadają w sen. I ja właściwie zachowuję się podobnie.

autumn already

first day of autumn. beautiful rain outside and the plums are in season , which means that the best thing to do is to make knedle (at the picture above), have them for dinner and then spend the rest of the day in bed with a tea, a good book and a wollen blanket. this is what i like the autumn for!

oto pierwszy dzień jesieni dziś. najlepszy czas, żeby zrobic knedle (śliwki angielskie całkiem nieźle zastępują węgierki) i potem spędzic resztę dnia pod kocykiem z herbatą i książką. i to jest właśnie fajne w jesieni - można byc leniwym i jest to powszechnie akceptowane.
