I’m so sorry I didn’t visit any blogs last week. I got back from art class to a call saying my aunt is ill in hospital, in Stoke. I spent all Wednesday and Thursday rushing round to organise things and stupidly put my knee out, turning at the bottom of the stairs. Our neighbours gave us a lift to Brian’s birthday do ( which we all enjoyed) and I then dosed myself up with painkillers and ice. I’ve been really groggy ever since. Finally, today, Tuesday, I’m starting to walk without my walking stick. I’ve done it before and it gets better with rest. Getting anywhere like hospital would have been so complicated now it’s only me who drives.
I’ll do better this week at blog visiting, when I get back from art class.
Here’s my desk at art class last week and some of our group’s bug paintings. We’re now doing a picture of a shirt.
This week we’re going on to painting, being very careful about gradations of colour. My shirt is an old, linen shirt I bought when Travelsmiths had a UK shop. I wish I’d bought more as it’s proven virtually indestructible.
Last week was just drawing and the review of our bugs. I’m pleased I received good comments on mine; they’re all excellent.
I’m thinking of a row of buttons coming down from the right shoulder and down a left-hand pocket with these pretty enamel buttons I bought from Amazon.
And finally…
Take care, all, and happy WOYWW!
Hugs

So sorry to hear about the knee and that your aunt is unwell Lynne. Glad you were still able to enjoy Brian's birthday celebrations. Looking forward to seeing the finished shirt painting - hope you can drive to class today. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah
sorry to hear about your aunt, and your knee, i hope things improve all round! Love the art group's bugs! I speed-read the post first time round and thought you were painting ON the shirt... doh! Enjoy. Happy WOYWW Helen #2
Oh doesn't life complicate things! You had enough to deal with without twisting your knee. I do hope resting it has eased it. It's so frustrating. Now, those buttons are absolutely gorgeous - fab colours. They will match your yarn perfectly.x x Jo 🌈
You did have a bit of a week, didn’t you? I’m glad your knee is better, that’s good to hear and I take it there’s no further news about your aunt, poor lady. So glad that Bri’s party went well, it did look really good! Have fun with your new painting topic this week, your dragonfly was amazing!

I hope your aunt is recovering Lynne and that your knee heals quickly so you can visit her. I bought two identical Christmas jumpers the year before last because I liked it so much! Sometimes it doesn't occur to us till it's too late.
Your art teacher certainly comes up with novel ideas. Happy WOYWW. Angela #13
Ooh, I love those buttons. I must post one I bought in Paris years ago that has never been used but is waiting for something special. I do like fancy buttons. Also teal in any shape or form.
Great drawings - love your bugs.

So sorry to hear about your knee…you have my full sympathy as I’ve done the same several times. I hope your Aunt is recovering too. What a time you’ve had. I love those buttons…such gorgeous colours.
Hugs,
