paper dolls on a slow sunday
What I thought was a bit of jet-lag I think is actually a virus. This week has seen me in bed most nights around 7.30pm. Last night I made it to 9.20pm (Saturday party girl that I am). Miss M, who actually is a party girl, was playing quietly in her room, and became a little miffed to discover that everyone had gone to sleep before her. So she came in to tuck both Mr N and I in bed. She is frustrating and funny at the same time.
It has been a slow day, but whilst the kids were at the park this morning kicking around a ball, I did manage to start some new illustrations.



Beautiful. Sensitive. Push ahead encouraging. Lovely colors.

I love the illustrations! I hope that you are feeling better! Travelling on aeroplanes can cause all sorts of mysterious bugs! Jet lag is also a nightmare! It apparently can take 1 day for each hour of time difference to recover! I think it's getting worse as I get older!

I'm so sorry you're feeling ill, but you certainly do 'good work' when not feeling well.

Glad you had such a wonderful trip - read lots of your posts. I love your new illustration: such a sweet combination of blue and green (and the umbrella is perfect...)
