life on the go and a quick sketch

sorry i've been missing in action again. 

it's been another jam-packed fortnight of which 

i'm sure you won't want all the boring details. 

suffice to say, 

i'm back to the grind.

 more daily pics for the facebook group 

Life on the Go

all pictures were taken with my mobile phone -

Samsung Galaxy S3

i missed 5 photos for january 

which i didn't think was too bad. 

day 18 - bridge

this is the bridge Aaron and i sometimes cross

when we go for walks. 

day 19 - gold

i'm not a gold gal so this one was tough.

this piece of fashion jewellery belonged to my grandmother 

so quite sentimental to me.

the pearl-like beads have little gold-toned beads between them.

day 20 - vase
this greenish-glass-vase displays some of my seashells

day 21 - hanger
i painted these hangers quite a few years ago,
they're not only pretty to look at but
i also love how nicely the clothes hang on them.

day 22 - missed 
i ended up with a migraine
due to stiff, sore neck

day 23 - rest
this prompt suited perfectly with the way i was feeling
so i put my feet up to rest.

 day 24 - white

these white plastic baskets 

hold some of my art supplies.

i'm hoping to put them to good use this year.

day 25 - wall 

the brick wall at our front entrance. 

this perspective makes me think of vanishing points.

day 26 - sign

we put this sign on our front brick wall 

to ward off door-to-door salesmen 

and people pushing religion. 

no offence intended but it saves them time 

as much as mine because i always 

tell them i'm not interested anyway.

day 27 - plant 

i love yucca plants! 

we have a couple in our front garden bed.

days 28 to 30 - missed

more migraines, 

my neck sure has been playing up a lot of late!

day 31 - measure 

this tape measure comes in very handy when i sew. 

i have to do some alterations 

on my niece's work-shirt.

a quick sketch to end the post. 

i have this very well-worn, forest green, two-seater couch 

that clashes terribly with my colour scheme. 

however i love the style and quality 

so i bought a stretchable slip-cover for it and

i'm THRILLED with it!!! 

the slip-cover fits like a glove and

it now looks like a new couch!!
