♥ 52 weeks of happy ♥ 11/52

Hello Lovelies,
here are some of my happy things from this week.

1. Waking up to glorious sunshine, BEFORE the alarm, on my day off in the week.........

the days are so much longer now

2. Tiny tete-a-tetes flowering in the rain soaked garden......

shame the sun didn't stick around for the weekend.

 3. planting some seeds yesterday........I've been waiting quite a long time to start this years seeds off. So much promise ....I love watching seedlings emerge and grow........


4. I've got lots more jobs I would like to get on with in the garden , but with the disappointing weather  I'm happy to draw instead........

the chickens were copied from a picture in this months Country Living......then I added some forget-me-nots  and snakes head fritillary , because I like them :0) Again I've used pen and coloured pencils.....I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.

Today , with help from my boys, I have drawn the winners for my PIF and contacted them. So my parcels will  soon be winging their way around the globe...spreading a bit of bloggy love.
Thank you all for entering , another happy part of my life is the wonderful blog community I'm lucky to have discovered.You really are a super kind and generous lot.

    Jacquie,

    You are getting better with each of your drawing. You have really inspired me to learn drawing. I try to draw the pictures you draw so I can learn how to do it. I am currently working on the kitchen window picture though I have used my flowers (that I have on my kitchen island) daffodils, primrose and crocuses. Hopefully by the end of spring here, I want to try to draw my allotment here with the lettuces peaking out and peas on their trellis.
    Lovely work and thanks for the inspiration.

    You know I've got a whole bunch of seeds from last year and I've been waiting for some warm weather to plant them. What was I thinking of?! Nope I'm off to do it now - thanks for the nudge! Jane x

    Ahhh sunshine, how lovely to wake up to that beautiful glow. Seed planting is exciting, the promise of flowers is wonderful. Another lovely drawing, they are getting better and better!

    Love weekends and holidays when I can wake up naturally and not to the shrill tones of the alarm :-)

    Hey Jacquie, love your Light Sussex chickens drawing...... I used to have a couple years ago.....
    I might have to track down my pencils and start practising.
    Spring is about to unfold, so nice to see Daffs, I am browsing a catalogue deciding on some new varieties.
    As usual I have left it till the last minute before orders close!!
    I must get more organised with my seed planting too......
    It's quite a chilly morning here, the weather seems to have turned, mist rising off the dam this morning, jackets needed outside, but a sunny day on the way.
    Have a great week,

    Lovely to find you Jacquie - I planted seeds today in my greenhouse - after I'd given it a good clean out!! Love your drawings. I have 13 hens but no light Sussex - they are so pretty though.

    You are a fabulous crocheter - I've been going to classes to learn - I'm addicted! Your blog is a great inspiration for me . Thanks for sharing.

    Take care

    Love Portia xxx

    I love snakes head fritillary, the checkerboard patterning is fascinating.
