Cold nights

The weather has changed. Brrrrr! It is certainly chilly. Nothing like a fire though to warm the hands and the soul. I snapped a couple of pictures. Nothing special. No tripod. Point, shoot, hope for the best. Here are a few. Mickey loves nothing better than plopping down on the rug close by. I'm stretched out on one sofa. Kelvin on another. Bliss.
Busy with business if you know what I mean. Finalising designs for the Faded Empire range of clothing. Not much time for anything else this weekend. I started the first layer of the pattern I'm painting over my Puki piece. I plan on serval of these in varying tones sweeping across the bottom of the painting. This is just the start. At least I have it hanging in my hallway as I work. Mind you shortly after I took this photo I turned it upside down to keep going. Looks strange but I can reach the area I am working on more easily. Lovely morning light in that hallway. Hopefully I'll have something more exciting to share next weekend :) Maybe ....

So fabulous Jo. Nothing beats a real fire.
So glad I have shaken off winter over here but I still love the warming fire pics! Great project Jo even looks cool upside down!
Have a great weekend, I linked your blog on my post on Friday here http://carlacoulson.com/its-not-about-waiting-for-the-storm-to-pass-its-about-dancing-in-the-rain/

Sorry if this has been asked before, but the Brisbane suburbs print/hanging you have up in the second picture - where can I find one of those? It's fab!
Tash It's an actual piece of the bus roll from the old Brisbane buses before they went digital display. There are a few pieces at the WAC but big bucks. I got a couple of rolls from a friend who used to work in the bus depot but I've used them or sold them all now.
Shame! Thanks for letting me know though!
Hello Jo,
Great post! may I ask who designed the bamboo footstools?
The fire, the fire is fabulous. Yet the dog is the center of my attention. See, this is where I could get to sit back and relax.
Anyone care for marshmallows and hot chocolate drink? I'm buying.
Ruth - The footstools I had made in Indonesia to a modified design of a stool designed in the 50s by Franco Albini. I have an original I bought on eBay but I wanted larger more squat ones to use as coffee tables.
Mythjen - I'll take you up on the hot chocolate and marshmallow offer :)
Thanks Jo!
Keep those great posts comming :)
