My Pretties *insert cackle*

It's a bit of a sick day here chez Roland,with Mr TR down for the count and me feeling a bit under the weather (which, by the way, seems endlessly grey and drizzly these days). But... look what came by courier today to cheer me up!






Aren't they pretty? What's cheering you up today?
Oh, the lovely Lucie Wheeler (who is getting married soon!) interviewed me on her blog today! Lucie's super nice and even if you don't have a chance to read my rambles, pop over to say hi if you can.

  3. Can just add how much of a loser I felt making my books 'pose' in various positions? I even had them spread out on a red blanket (which didn't turn out, thank goodness!).

  70. How exciting! That must have been like Christmas and your birthday rolled into one when you opened that box. That would cheer anyone. I'm cheerful today because the shelves have been installed in my new art room and I can now start setting up my own space. I'm sure you can relate to having your own creative work area.

    ReplyDelete
