Sunday Sketches 9/27

Hello all. Hope you had a lovely weekend.


Ours was uneventful (and rainy) for the most part. Josh did suddenly become ill last night with a rather high fever and stomach flu-like symptoms. He's home now and seems to be doing a bit better. No more fever, anyway.

I managed to do a bit of sunday night sketching last night. In fact, I've even started the painting on this little witch and her friends, but am not very far along.


I also read the most wonderful book, "The Magician's Elephant". I guess it's probably considered a children's book, but then again, that's always been my favorite kind.
Anyway, if you're a fan of fairy tales and happy endings you should probably check it out.
It's no wonder an elephant found it's way into my notebook last night. Although she appears to be a bit looooong when I see her here.

We came very close to getting a new rug for the living room yesterday. We went to Tuesday Morning and found what seemed to be the perfect rug until we unrolled it and found it to be square instead of rectangular. :( Just won't work in our living room. So I've been obsessed since then with trying to find the perfect rug online. No luck so far. Any suggestions?
I should probably mention that we don't want to spend too much since we need one for the dining room, as well.


Okay, must get back to taking care of my baby...and also to that little witch.



HUGS!

    I love children's books. I'll have to check out "The Magician's Elephant".

    I'm sorry to hear that you have the dreaded stomach flu in your house. Nothing can depress me like the stomach flu season. I hope Josh is feeling better.
