Last two Tuatha parts and "Let's doodle"

Good morning everybody ,
...well it's morning where I am , and I have come home from my night shift not too long ago.

In regards to your comment Edna, I think a few hours more time only just scratch the surface. I need more days instead of hours to get everything done I want to do. I need to retire ...but that's still 16 years in the future for me ;)

I finished the bathroom...finally ! I got a new mirror hanging cabinet and new shelves to complete it.

It's floral and feminine, and I needed light colors in this very small room without window.

I'm currently making a batch of sour dough starter, because fresh baked sour dough bread is just the bomb ! It's healthier than other quick rising bread and easy to make.
Think of it as a pet ...you have to feed it to grow. All you need is a pot or jar, flour (I prefer organic wholemeal ) ,water (I use mineral water because the chlorine can hinder the good bacteria to grow) and patience. One cup of flour mixed with one cup of water , cover container with cloth so the mixture can breathe and feed the same daily. Within 7-9 days it's ready to use for bread.

 I'm also making Greek yoghurt.
All it takes is a tub of plain full fat yoghurt and milk. From half a tub I get 3 to 4 times the amount , so it not only saves me money , but I know exactly what's in it. Filtering it after the 36 hour progress gives me the thick and creamy consistency. If a feel indulgent I even add fresh cream to the milk yoghurt mix before I switch the yoghurt maker on :)

"THINGS WITH FLOWERS" is back this month and I just love this challenge !

I chose blackberry for my ice cream cone :)


OK....I talked about leaf drawing and painting last week . Let's start with the letter A and the Alder tree .
Here you can find an Alder leaf to copy or trace

Notice the little teeth at the edges, not all leaves have smooth edges.
Start with pencil , and once you are happy with it you can start coloring or use a black fineliner pen , or even both .

Now look up Ash or /Aspen leaves on google and do the same.
I will show how I colored mine next week.
But here is a simple watercolor tutorial

                   
Now to digital and Tuatha links.

The last two links :)

There will be another new freebie next week , but I have to look through my external drive first to see what I can give you next.
So until then , stay crafty :)
