Bright pot for WOYWW

It's been a tad nippy around here,

well actually it's down right freezing!

I really thought my little miss might get to see Jack Frost

for the first time ever today.
It didn't happen but it sure felt cold enough,
even the chickens didn't want to get up this morning.
I woke up with in the night and my face was so cold it hurt.
I had to wriggle down under the blankets to warm my nose up.

Thank heavens hubby didn't fluff 
or I would have been a gonna for sure.

I have moved my art room into the family room

as the sun shines in there during winter.

At the moment I'm sitting huddled up on the couch,

with three jumpers and a blanket on and the laptop on my knees.

I just hope my fingers don't snap off while typing!!

My desk for winter is on wheels and I just wheel

it into the family room each day, along with my drawers on wheels

and away I go.

I have my inks and some watercolours out to paint

something special.

When my wonderful girlfriend was visiting from England,

she bought me a beautiful coffee pot

and I've been wanting to paint it for some time

but needed the nice bright colours to do so.

My new inks are just perfect for this

and here it is up close.

How cool is this pot, it's me all over.

I also got some other beautiful goodies.
Here are some ATC's I received.

This is from my * person Caro Staton

 and these were from Elaine (Eels)
I sent her my ATC and she sent these gorgeous things back.

Good to see she had my sense of humour!!

Last but by no means least,
the lovely Bella Basson
saw that I was admiring her typewriters that
she had made and she sent me some.

I'm going to have heaps of fun with these.

Thanks so much to all of you,
nothing nicer than getting little pressies in the mail,
it sure beats bills.

I'm still battling this awful
mouse but I have found a pen
at last and hope to have it by next week,
yay, I can use one hand again!!
(if you are wondering, see last weeks post)

School holidays start this friday.
I love the three week winter holiday,
because I get to lay in until 7am instead of up at 5.30am
and I don't freeze quite as much.
It's just a shame that winter isn't only for three weeks.

Well that's my desk for the week, now hop on over to
Julias Stamping Ground and see what's on the other desks
this freezing cold wednesday.
(It's only 17 deg and it's daytime, brrr)

I'm going to make a cup of tea
just so I can hold the hot cup in my hands.
