Queensbirthday weekend.

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I know we did. We had some friends come down from Oamaru who we haven't seen since we moved down here (11 months ago). It was so good catching up with them and seeing the kids get on so well after all that time. I was worried about that as you don't really know what the kids remember. There was absolutely no reason to be concerned. Last night Jake, Olly and Olivia slept in one room and it was about 9.30 and Jake and Olivia were still chatting away. They arrived on Sunday before lunch and left today (Monday), then we went to the rugby in Lawrence but didn't stay for the whole game as the kids were winging the whole time (probably not a good idea going when they had little sleep last night). But it was such a beautiful day here (slightly cold this morning about 3 outside) so was a shame not to go and support it really.

I was meaning to get this uploaded before the weekend but just ran out of time, so here it is. It is based on a sketch from pencil lines , actually sketch number 34. And there is a few close ups to see the more intricate detail. If your a scrapper and never tried a sketch, pop over have a look and look at all the inspiration, you will be pleasantly surprised. Any way here is the sketch entitiled "Is this what you mean by sugar hit?" I get a giggle everytime I see this photo, it's not like they have coke all the time, they hardley ever have fizz or anything other than water and milk, but we were shearing up at the woolshed and had been for about three weeks, so this kept them amused at smoko times.
