I’m joining in with our blog hop care of Sarah’s Craftshed and sending healing hugs to Neet, who’s still in hospital.
Art class starts again this week so I’ve been finishing my collage annd watercolour cornucopia. The masking fluid has been on it for a month so I used my Frisk maskaway rubber to ease it off (foreground). It’s surprisingly effective.
I’m pleased with my painting for once, and we’ll see what our tutor says about it tomorrow.
This week we’re starting winter landscapes and we’re only allowed to use flat brushes.
I’ve found a photo I like for a reference.
Though these are pretty too, if a little busy. 
However, I’ve just checked my notes and Claire specified Kent winter landscapes. I’ve this one from my friend Chris. I’ll print a few and see what I can work on in class. Whenever I think landscapes I always prefer the Peak District, though, it’s home. Chris’s photo is from last year, at Prince’s Parade, as we’ve only had a tiny snowfall so far this week in Kent. Stay safe and warm if it’s worse where you are.
I’m carrying the yarn up the side and have now restricted myself to two bobbins of yarn plus the cream. I’ve wound alternate lengths of yarn onto 2 bobbins with magic knots and it’s easier to manage.
And finally …

I love your cornucopia painting is a triumph and, while the fruits and veg are excellent, it’s the paper wrapping that does it for me, really stunning! Have fun at your class today, you might be getting some snowy inspiration before long if the forecasts are right.
And the funniest are spot on, each one made me laugh!

Wow. I thought the slip-over was variegated yarn not different yarns. Respect! It's looking great so far. Lucky man, kept warm with love :D Oh Bella looks so comfy too, she makes me smile. As do the funnies - always welcom every week. Happy WOYWW!

Love the colours in your second and third landscapes. Well done on your watercolour painting. Love the pattern of your slipover, 3 treble and 3 chain right? The colours go so well together. Happy New Year Angela #13
Hi, I can relate to your funny about buying and using stuff up for sure. The slipover is going to be brilliant when it's finished if you don't tie yourself in knots first Lol! Happy woyww with hugs Angela x7x
I love your latest painting and the next one looks a challenge…..but really lovely. You’re very talented.

Wow that cornucopia is amazing. I love it. Well done you. Judging by the forecast you may well have some snowy landscapes for your paintings. X x Jo 🌈
Landscapes, if I am going for realism is a challenge! I like to make suggestions... of trees and such! Love the color work on the knitting . Happy New Year- Robyn 4
Super painting, love the cone pattern as well as the contents, super job. Just using flat brushes sounds good too I hope you can choose the best landscape for you. Never heard of a robble but it seems to describe the yarn tangle just right. Hugs Bj#2
Kettle on, feet up! I love the pattern of the slipover for Brian, it looks horribly complicated but it really is lovely. A robble. I’ve never heard of such a thing but it describes the situation well! I think your cornucopia painting is marvellous, I could lift it off the page! Julia
I love your cornucopia! The slipover is going to be love. Happy WOYWW and new year... Susan #5
Loving that cornucopia Lynne and really look forward to seeing what you do with the Kent landscape. The funny about the wool made me smile in particular. Thanks so much for the crochet tips. Stay safe and Happy belated WOYWW. Sarah
