Bye Bye March. . . .

March has flown by and its been a roller coaster of a month.

At the end of February I had enquires from two companies about some design work and one was an immediate start.

I got some stylish new shoes (borrowed from my sister) ready for the site visit.

The visit went well and I was excited about the project, then the site shut to all contractors.

The project has been postponed until things are back to normal, which could be.... I don't know!

In march I've drunk a lot of tea and tried to be busy.

Above is a colouring sheet from Johanna Basford  that I downloaded, 

the perfect accompaniment to go with your tea.

Also in March, my Sketch and Chat group at the local library was cancelled.

(Perfectly understandable considering)

So on a Friday afternoon I'm determined to carry on sketching and will be adding some of my 'attempt' to my Instagram page.

Way back before I had children, I loved to do jigsaws (very rock and roll).

Added to that, I'm not very good at getting rid of stuff, so in the depths of the garage I found a box full of jigsaws. 

Unfortunately the first one I picked wouldn't fit on the board, so its only partially finished. 

In a typically British fashion, I mush mention the weather we had in March.

Perfect for drinking tea outdoors. . . . . 

And spending time chatting with the family rabbit, BB8 

(Named by the children after a Star Wars character)

Yes, one of the first signs of madness is talking to the rabbit!!

At the end of March was the first family birthday since social distancing started.

For a bit of fun I decided to make my niece a lovely Luna Lupin Bunny.

This worked really well because my teenage son gets quite distracted whilst 'home schooling'.

As soon as he sit down he sees something that's needs doing, like playing with the dog, going to see the rabbit, etc 

So sitting with him at the table keeps him on track!

Then the finished rabbit was dropped off, on her doorstep, whilst on my daily walk!

(Its like the old game where you knock on the door then run away)

During March I made the decision to temporarily close my Folksy Shop.

Taking parcels to the post office doesn't feel like an essential trip, so for now I'm closed.

You can still pop over to the shop for a browse and I'll open again as soon as possible.

The most important thing for us all to do is stay safe.
