Yesterday evening I went 'baby sitting Tina', her phrase, she had a wedding rehearsal at the church. I took a small sketch book and my Lee Child book, as I had nearly finished it. I waited in the church while they had choir practice and then Tina and I went to the shop before we came home. I did a bit ore painting on the Christmas tree decorations, in fact finished painting on both sides. Today I have attached ribbon hangers so another job done. The sketch last night is not of a large area, I decided to have a go at a window and try to get the perspective right.

This morning I walked into town as for the life of me I could not be sure there were bike racks. I thought there were some near the post office but wouldn't have made a bet on it. There are indeed racks there, I can only have walked past them several hundred times!! Don't think I have ever actually seen a bike there though. I got a nice red, very soft dressing gown in Debenhans at a nicely reduced price. I then went to the ceramic studio because Sandy had sent a text asking if I could do some Santa plates for them. What she actually wanted was outline drawings on plates of a reindeer and a Santa to be taken to a group of disabled adults for them to paint. Had quite a production line going, drew then first then used the ceramic paint to outline them.

Took that after the first ten then did ten more, I was there for a couple of hours. A slightly closer picture of the two different designs.

I cooked dinner for us this evening and then made jellies with Tina for the Advent craft afternoon on Sunday. Then we worked for a bit on the crafts, I was cutting pretend toilet rolls up as I am using them to make crackers with the children at the Advent event. I will make up samples and cut the crepe paper ready for the day tomorrow.
