Hello,

It was a really lazy, low key day today.

I think everyone (me) was getting over the shock of the 6am start yesterday. I can’t tell you when everyone actually got up or moved out of their pjs into proper clothes… way too embarrassing 🙂

Jeff is on a nightshift, but before he went back to bed today he put the fire on for us and we totally enjoyed the cosiness, since the day was dark, gloomy and cool.

I enjoyed mucking about with photos, trying some different post processing on images, while Emma and Mana abandoned their modern technology to play a drawing game! (Wow huh?)

Pencils & the Samitomato Drawing Game (Original version – it has now been updated)

My very clever and artistic friend, Samantha, developed this great little drawing game. Rather than encouraging competition, it encourages imagination and creativity.

Four rolls of the dice will give the budding artist a set of directions to go ahead and draw. Among the thousands of possibilities, you may end up drawing “A fat grey mouse, making pancakes” a “Determined sky-blue sheep flying a spaceship” or a “Hairy violet spider wearing cowboy boots”

It totally solves that “Mummy – what should I draw nowww?” question!

You can buy the drawing game via Samantha’s Etsy Shop or check out Sam’s instagram  – Samitomato  (I am sure I will get instagram soon – when I figure out how to drive it via PC)

Since I can’t even draw convincing stick figures, I stuck to the computer and played about a little with some past photos:

Don’t know what flower this was. It randomly grew around the side of the house.

Time to hit the hay.
