Scribble Picnic - Fill In the Blank Rectangle -

I was on a mission to get this done yesterday, Tuesday, ready for today's picnic,

IF the fog clears (see HERE) we can throw down a blanket on the lawn under
 the fig tree and enjoy some sweet picnic snacks and a nice cuppa!

Yes, the tree is so tall now we can actually sit under it - a lot different from the little

 18" potted plant I dug the hole for (well Bob probably did that bit - I just point and

 ask nicely if he'll dig right there please!) some years ago. Just look at those hefty

 branches now - and later in the year the figs will hopefully arrive again and be ripe

 for picking and jam making.

I saw my rectangle when I noticed one of the little birdhouses hanging in the tree 

in the heavy fog blanketing the garden. Photographing the roof at this angle
 I thought would be different. I edited my photo back to a sketch, added a tiny bit
of colored pencil, and outlined the roof.

I will soon be off to Patagonia! Being on a ship much of the time, I may miss 

 several Scribble picnics due to lack of Internet availability, speed and cost! 

 I'll do my best, but don't be surprised if I can't join in or leave comments - sorry!

Pop over to Michael's today here at the SCRIBBLE PICNIC - starting off with

 a blank will definitely bring some fabulous creativity to all the fun posts.

Scribble Picnic. . . . . . . Fill in the Blank

. . . . . . . . I craved one for a while. 

Then I wanted grey. 

Now, I'm not up for a kitchen remodel/upheaval at all - so will stay with 

my original natural wood cabinets, enjoy them, save thousands. . . . . 

and guess what, brown wood is being loved again!

This week's theme for Michael's Scribble Picnic is

Fill in the Blank.  There's a choice of two shapes, as my screen shot

above shows (I'm using the version on the right), and you get to see our 

 handsome host Michael too!

Like me, he's a British ex-pat so we have a lot in common, despite

  the fact I'm old enough to be his grandma! We love, tea, toast, marmalade

Victoria sponge cake ~ and Bob and I are hoping next year to meet up with

 Michael and his lovely, talented illustrator wife Alexandra, to sip and nibble

 while we talk about England.

Come and join us on Scribble Picnic days - you don't have to be

 an artist per se. I'm definitely not, just give your creative side a little push,

 it's fun, and you meet other creative people from around the world,

 thanks to Michael!
