BENEATH

This was a challenging prompt and I had many ideas for beneath: 

♥ Heaven above, earth beneath, 

♥ Interred beneath,

♥ Some where beneath the sea,

♥ Beneath the same roof,

♥ Beneath our feet,

My favourite idea was to answer - 

 'What does a Scotsman wear beneath his kilt?'

Now having been to a few Céilidh's in my time, I know what some Scots wear beneath (or don't wear!) and I didn't think I could do the idea justice... 

...so this is what I drew instead

☆ Fred is here!

My gorgeous sister gave birth last week to a beautiful, healthy baby boy!

at 6 lbs, and 50 cms he is so very wee...

I kept thinking my girls were never this small...

but of course they were both around 8 pounds - giants in comparison!

So I got in a good long aunty cuddle, was a wee bit weepy and then took my beasties home to give them all some peace and quiet!

☆ September Sketch Challenge

Tweet

I. Did. It! 

I finished my challenge for September (see here for more deets)

Sometimes, I was interrupted by life... 

Sometimes, Bean wanted to help...

Sometimes, I just couldn't be bothered, but did it anyway (hence the sharpener!)

Sometimes, I was away from the safety of home...

Sometimes I spent a really long time on a drawing...

Sometimes, Bean would want to play with what I was drawing...

Sometimes, I drew what was right in front of me...

Sometimes, I went outside for inspiration...

Sometimes, I bought the outside, inside...

Sometimes, my drawing reflected what was happening in our life...

Sometimes, it didn't...

 And sometimes, you need to have faith in yourself and believe you can do it...

I am very proud of myself for finishing, and really, really happy with the way my sketching is progressing

So much so that I am going to try another challenge for October, but this time I am thinking of something  more...

...but I will let you know later on - once I have thought about and completed a few days!

Have a great weekend.
