Weekend Chat

Have you noticed all the Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies appearing in the shops?   I bought some speckled jelly eggs today. Before I eat them I’m going to just look at them and admire the colours for a while. I have a beautiful candy dish that is just right for speckled eggs. 

 

I love pastel colours. Who knows, these ones might inspire me to design a bear with a similar colour scheme.

 

We had a few drops of rain this evening, very welcome, it has been unbearably hot lately.  Not so welcome is the leak that the studio roof has suddenly sprung.  And of course, the drip area is directly over my desk… somewhere there’s a gremlin with an engineering degree who works out these little freak accidents to the last millimetre.  I suspect the actual culprits are the ants who are trying to excavate the foundation from under the place.  I have noticed a trail of them going up the wall to the roof beams lately.  The joys of living in Africa!  We will do a thorough inspection in daylight tomorrow. 

That’s the royal ‘we’ of course.  Me sending the man up the ladder and directing from a safe distance with both feet planted firmly on the ground.  I love teamwork.

Wishing you a great weekend!
