New Best Day

What a day!

I’m exhausted!

Krocca and The Artful Dodger came early this morning to help set up for the art class.

After they left, I mixed my paints so that I could have a practice run before the class, then I rewatched the demonstration video before doing this …

I’ve never tried this technique with trees before so I needed a practice run.

I had a quick look at the photos that I took on Friday afternoon, but didn’t get a chance to do anything with them.

There were plenty of customers and plenty of tyre kickers today.

Adoring Husband turned up right on time to close the shop while I changed into my art gear.

Everybody arrived on time including M&M with her Aunty and Grandma who were newbies to this type of art.

The energy was a bit low at the beginning of the class, but seemed to come good once everybody got into it. The newbies were a bit tentative at first but it didn’t take long for them to feel comfortable - once they realised we were all there for the fun and we weren’t arty farty snobs!

There was a LOT of cleaning up to do afterwards and it was loud in the room with everybody talking in little groups, especially when all the males arrived - AH, Little T’s son, M&M’s husband and Grandpa. It sounded like 40 people were in the room!

I don’t even know what time we left the shop, but I went straight to the kitchen to get started on dinner which was shepherds pie with Brussels sprouts. It took a bit of preparation but it was worth the effort. Delicious.

I came to bed at 7.30pm because I was cold and tired. I watched the football and then waited for the tennis to start.

Ash Barty is in the Wimbledon final and I hope I can stay awake to see out the match.

I am SO looking forward to my day in bed tomorrow. It’s been a brain storming week and my brain is tired.

Nite all.
