Michael and I have had quite the busy weekend already. We spent Friday afternoon and all day Saturday prepping and preparing for our very first summer English tea party. It turned out quite lovely and we had a grand time with some of our closest friends. Even the puppy enjoyed being the center of attention at times.
With that said, I've had little time the past few days to complete one of my usual illustrations for Sunday Sketches. I've been focused on meeting work deadlines as well as, sorting and packing for our upcoming move. Yes, we're moving to England next month for awhile in order to help his sister care for his mother whose health is deteriorating quickly. You can follow along our journey over at our joint blog, Paper Chains & Bunting. We'll be sharing updates on our life there, his mother and other adventures of our life. So, be sure to click on the "follow" tab so you can pop in and say hello from time to time.

DeleteI've never made paint charts, because I find them boring. However, yours looks like so much fun, with all those cute little teacups. Good luck with the move, and blessings to you, your husband and his family.
ReplyDeletehaha I think in some ways, I've found them boring, too. Plus, I've not ever really felt like I needed one. However, with the brushes, it's just too difficult to NOT have one.
