Sketch by France Belleville-Van Stone

I’ve never really been able to draw. I can copy images quite well if they are in front of me but my freestyle drawing is quite honestly pants! Proportion is my biggest problem. People will have one leg bigger than the other, animals won’t have the right sized bodies and buildings are always a little bit on the wonky side. However, I do really enjoy drawing. I’ve always wanted to take a sketch book and some pencils, sit on a bench overlooking a gorgeous landscape and draw away for hours. I’ve got the sketch book and pencils but I haven’t made it out of the door with them yet!

Sunday Sevens is a weekly blog series where you post 7 photos from your week.

Just write your own blog post, share your own set of photos and use the #sundaysevens tag. The Pinterest board is here…. feel free to share it! Grab the picture below for your blog and link it back to me 🙂

Here are my Sunday Sevens 😀

1. We are trying to eat better. We haven’t cut all traces of fat out of our meals because I like to have a balanced diet. But we have cut crisps (chips!) and candy out almost completely, and we are trying cook meals from scratch rather than use processed meal sauces and mixes. Here is Adam with his homemade chipotle beef burgers…they were delicious!

Talented Tuesday Link Party – No. 14

Welcome to Talented Tuesday No. 14!

Superbowl…what did you think to it? I’ve never really experienced it before at all but thought I had better get into it a little bit more now I’m in the US. There were LOADS of Super Bowl party posts flying around and I loved seeing how creative people were being. I tuned in for the half time show and loved Miss Perry and Missy Elliott! We watched a little bit of the game but I still can’t get my head around American football so we didn’t watch it all 🙂 I’m looking forward to seeing your linked up posts this week…I wonder whether there will be any Superbowl ones?

Sunday Sevens #21

This is a bit of a late one today…it is still Sunday in the USA though! I really can’t believe it is February today! Already!! This week has been a strange one as things have been quiet on the paperwork/ sorting side of things. Visa paperwork has been submitted and we just have to wait. Our UK house is on the market so we just have to wait for viewings. We have also sorted the container to ship our belongings over the the US; we just have to wait for them. I don’t like waiting. I like to be in control of everything and I can’t control any of these things. It has actually been nice to just catch up with a few things this week!

1. On Sunday, we visited an antique store on the other side of the bay. It has always intrigued me as it is called “Alice’s Wonderland”! What a great name! They had some gorgeous stuff in but I held back and only purchased a couple of vintage Hoover Dam postcards. I am building my collection of vintage PC’s, mainly of places we have visited.
