Times are crazy at the moment and I feel like I'm spread as thin as vegemite on a Vita-Wheat. It's the end of the holidays and after a few blissful days, the kids are now at each other and their voices are making me wish I could rip my eardrums out.
I've been reading this book lately that talks about 'stewing in ones own juices'. I tend to do that a lot. You know when it seems less worrying just to worry about something than to actually deal with it and find out what's going on. I do that. I've decided to stop 'stewing in my juices' and this morning I dealt with something yucky that made my hands tremble. Turns out it's not so bad. Hmm.....let that be a lesson to me......it's no fun to stew! Do you stew? I can highly recommend unstewing even if it's seriously scary. I feel a little lighter.
Anways, enough about me and my topsy-turvy existance...here's a little something I whipped up yesterday over my morning coffee. She loves to knit....what do you think? Not sure if I want to watercolour this one or pop it on canvas with a knitting pattern collaged background.
Hope you're having a good day :)

love it! That looks very cool.
ReplyDeleteGreat artwork, she's gorgeous! (Did I ever tell you how clever you are!! LOL)
ReplyDeleteWhilst I do stew & worry at times, lately I seem to go along in denial for a while, making out I am coping just hunky-dory, and there are no issues to deal with! But yes, getting on with the 'dealing' is the way to go, because the worrying is so often worse than the actual event itself ever is...
Hope there is some peace & quiet for you soon...
I love her. I love her shrig too. I am not really a stewer- I doin't have the attention span! Great advice though!
ReplyDeletei stew in my own juices constantly, i don't know any other way to live, avoidance is what i do!!!
ReplyDeletenow as for the new artwork: she is lovely. I would be friends with her for sure!
;)
Oh she is great - I am a stewer by nature but have learnt not to over the years:)
ReplyDeleteI think that you should turn her into cards - she is fantastic:)
Oh I love her. I think she is perfect just as she is the lines really add more play on the wool theme, if you know what i mean.. I stew aswell I think it might be a girl thing.cheers Katherine
ReplyDeleteI think I need to get a copy of that book too! Mind you one can't win though. I have had a sore back for the last week and rather than complain I have suffered in silence. Hubby says to me this morning as I moaned "Oh I thought you were ok now as you haven't been whingeing"!! So I guess it does pay to not stew sometimes lol.
ReplyDeleteI love your drawing. I think she looks great in black and white but would look awesome in colour too!

the knit head lady is cool ... much cooler than actual 'nits' ... spelling? I remember days from my childhood when we'd get the old 'head check' ugh, yuck
ReplyDeletewow, I love her!
ReplyDeleteYep, big-time stewer here...
I need to change, it really doesn't help matters.
