The last parts of Winter Solstice

Hi everybody ,
I finally finished this batch of shifts , came of night shifts this morning and had a few hours sleep. And that means time to post the last links for you.

We had the first snow earlier. It came down like crazy and everything turned white within 20 minutes , but when I woke it was already gone again :)

I didn't get much done during that week , work kept me busy and when I had some time I was mostly practicing lettering drills .

And I took a few walks in the cold to get my steps together , because sitting on my ass doesn't help with keeping fit ;)

It looks beautiful , but the wind was damn cold !
I'm also browsing those gardening websites and seed catalogues, because February will be the time to plant those first seedlings indoors, and I have to make up my mind what I want to plant this year.

 But the grey weather inspired me to pick some cheery colors and positive quotes for my challenges.

And because I hate spring cleaning I decided to spread it out and do a different area each week this year. I found a downloadable checklist in PDF and will work my way though. It seems my life is a lot about challenges ,lol

New Year-new look and new parts :)

Happy New Year everybody :)
As you probably noticed the blog had a little make -over and I finally have time to post the next parts of the freebie kit as well.
I have already been spoiled this year, My son took me out for Birthday dinner at the Turkish restaurant today and I got gifts as well :)

A coloring journal and Agate bookends ...

...the color is just amazing :)
Apparently there is another gift in the post which has been hand made for me...
There's more but I don't want this to be just a Birthday present post,lol

Lettering drills are in full progress and I still need to do my homework for today .
But I already made some colorful lettering pages the past few days.

It's all about lettering positive vibes !

Words for 2017

Anyway....time for those links !

Next parts ...ready...and go ;)

Hello,
have you all survived the Christmas days?
I've been working. Today is my only day off and tomorrow I'm back to work for another 5 days before getting a break. It would normally be 6 days /48 hours, but I managed to take off my last nightshift.

I organized my desk this morning to make room for some Christmas presents , which were- no surprise= art supplies ;)

Like this beautiful calligraphy set with a real owl feather

Obviously I had to try it out ! I will need to practice more with this ...

The definition of lettering : The goal of Hand lettering is to turn letters into visual art ....not my design though. It's from the book "The ABCs of Hand lettering" .
I copied from the book as lettering practice and want to frame this and hang it over my desk.

But now to the next downloads ...
here another qp for a little look what's inside this kit

So here your links

Winter Solstice kit , first 2 parts

Hey all,
quick post before bed to give you the first 2 parts of my Winter Solstice kit.
Overtime days have started and I seem to spend more time at work than at home right now. But only until after Christmas , then it's back to normal again.
I did a few drawings , but not as much as usual due to lack of time .

Gold marker on scrapbook paper ( Sharpie pens)

Lotus flower  ( Faber Castell Artist Pitt pens)

Candy canes(Tombow Brush pens)
That's all ...so I get straight to the downloads now.

White drop shadows applied to give a frosty look , but you will get all parts without shadows.

Have a blessed Solstice on the 21st and a lovely Christmas. I'll be back next week .
