Hi there. Hope you are safe and well? After spending the day with my parents yesterday, I’m back firmly holed up here in my Shac-Shack. Started the Cockadoodledoodle with everybody at 10am this morning! That’ll be fun. I do enjoy pencil colouring. What makes me decide which direction to take on our Daily Doodle trips? What sends me off to New Mexico or Japan or Carmel or wherever? Simple. I open my eyes and I look for signs. How did…
Hi there, Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are safe and well? Me? I had a brilliant day today. A super day. You know that feeling when you’ve done something really good? Well, I have that now. You see, I crossed the line today. I went to my parents’ house, to deliver their groceries, but we made the decision to let me into their home again. It was a decision we made in the week, quite simply because my Mum…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. On call here in the SHAC-Shack back at base, while lovely Paula works on the Clarity Shows up at the HOCHANDA studios at 11am and 1pm, and I join in with a Skype connection where I can, to support her. So while I wait until 1pm for the next TV-Skype call, I thought I would hang out with my buddies here in Blogland. The 1pm show is very close to my heart. To those…
Hi there. Thanks for joining me. Having spent a virtual week in new mexico, I am ready to retire out there! I have so enjoyed our doodle trip to Albuquerque. Does the soul good. I could have stayed there for at least another week, but hey ho. Maybe in a while we can revisit , and take another look from a different angle. The diversity and beauty in New Mexico will keep us enchanted – encantada – for the rest…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. How are you? How are you coping? Good days and growing days. The daily Doodle sessions are creating a shift in me, if I may say so. Never having been a confident person, I usually tend to morph into various personalities, depending on who I am with. Even my dialect and choice of words will change if you’re posh and don’t swear. But now I am alone in the room above the garage, day…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. For three days now we have been doodling a dream catcher in the SHAC-Shack. Today we were working on the dangly feathers. I can only speak for myself, but I have found the last 3 days in the SHAC-Shack an absolute pleasure. Perhaps it’s because we are on tour in New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment; perhaps the spiritual energy from that lovely place has worked its magic in our souls. Wouldn’t that be…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Glad to be here today. Glad I was born when I was; glad I was born where I was. If this pandemic has taught me anything, anything at all, it is that I have to think positive, be positive and act positive. Think gratitude, do gratitude. Guard against negative people with negative ideas and MAKE A CREATIVE PLAN. At the same time however, I feel a real need to take stock of what VE…
Hi there. Thanks for joining me. Six weeks into our Daily Doodle in the Shac-Shack, and I think those of us who have participated can all agree that doodling helps focus the mind and stop the thoughts a-wandering down the wrong path. Yesterday, we did a basic pattern doodle together, which I personally thoroughly enjoyed. It took me down Memory Lane to my school days, back to Fort Pitt and Canterbury Cathedral and Rochester Cathedral School Christmas Carol Services and…
Hi there! Thanks for checking in today. We’ve had stormy weather here! Lightning, thunder, hail – black skies! And now it’s sunny and warm, and the grass is steamy with all the evaporating rain! Yup. If you don’t like the English weather, just wait a minute! Over in the SHAC shack, we’ve been doodling away merrily! Spent the whole week in Japan, learning about fabulous Japanese textiles and even drew a cherry blossom. Here’s where we ended up today…. I…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Hope you are keeping safe and busy? Well the rain came down here in the Southeast, and it is set to keep us company for the week, so how about a new crossword to get your teeth into? Just a quick recap of the first two plus the solutions underneath (in case you want to try them too, don’t look Ethel!!! ) – and then No. 3 – compliments of lovely Hazel Edwards xxx…
