I have been so busy for the last few days, both on the Island and now back home that drawing has not exactly been a priority. I feel quite naughty but the muse is not really there.
I prefer quick sketches and I did this while having a rest from the huge amount of unpacking and washing I have been doing. Our Christmas decorations at home have been pretty minimal, I tend to take stuff away with us and only have a bit here. So this year a wreath, a bowl of glass and fabric ornaments, a small Father Christmas, a candle and a vase of poinsettias, with a glass boot filled with candy canes.
We left the Island on the "working ferry" at a bit after 8 am yesterday morning, and with us was a stinking truck full of rubbish, a huge truck with only some mesh over the top.
I get sea sick so go out on the deck but there was no where to get away from the smell!
Luckily it wasnt too rough a crossing and we were home a bit before 10. I had to unpack the ute and John raced in to get the cat and then we were off for a friends 84th Birthday lunch at his restaurant, A fabulous lunch and great company, we staggered home late and after feeding the dogs and Oscar fell into bed.
I have been washing and unpacking all day and moving hoses around.
A busy few days as New Years Eve is here this year, several friends, we take it in turns and it promises to be hot.
I hope every one is safe and in good health and your weather is not too extreme!

HAPPY NEW YEAR...
Sounds as though you have had a lovely time even if busy. We have enjoyed it too and now, like you, are getting prepared for our dinner party on New Year's eve. Then it is all downhill after that. Happy New Year to you all.
...I get so seasick also, which is ironic considering I'm a Pisces. I should be able to handle a boat being tossed around by the waves, but no way! Have a Happy New year. Enjoyed your painting (especially the little Santaman).
the very best of the New Year Penny..
and you are right.. men and the kitchen they need a bit of training...
don't put away your art materials.. we'll all be looking for more next year!!!
Happy New Year Penny. We had a scorcher of 41 yesterday but there was a change by 8 p.m. and we still had the gas barbeque and twenty people to feed.

This would be such a fun Christmas card.
