We’re back for 2017
It’s good to be back and it was quite busy today as Helen also started her writing group again. It was nice and warm in the barn and there was a big tin of flapjacks to work through.
Bee was painting one of her very stylish pictures with the water-based oil paints
Jackie was sketching a dog
Dawn was doing a study of the corner of the workshop
In the afternoon there was a lot of chat but Sally started this lovely street scene
Patricia had finished her horse study
… and I think these pears are finished now
Christmas party week
Some of us made Christmas decorations
some of us painted
John was making a special Christmas present
… and some just enjoyed the food and chatted
winding down before Christmas party week
Not very busy this week but nevertheless some lovely work being done.
Paulette and Dawn were painting family portraits
Brigitte was dabbling with Christmas stamps
Diana joined us this morning and she always does something interesting
Mary was painting another of her Christmas boards
… and I was finishing off my leafy walkway in oil

and on Thursday …
lots of knitting
A busy Tuesday morning with knitting …
Frances finished her infinity scarf and Joy is modelling
