In Progress...

We are heading off on holidays

  which is kind of awesome as it has been insanely busy for all of us

  but it also means that manic last minute crazy packing that we are all prone to

 well by us I mean Phantom, Sinus and I

 I am sure you are all list makers, and organised as all get go

 but we are the throw it all together at the last moment and see what happens packers

 now this usually works fine and it is always fun to unpack at the other end and see what we  have forgotten....or added

 and the rest of the time is spent being constantly asked if we may have picked this or that

 and marvelling at the wild and wooly things that were packed

 mind you if Sinus forgets to pack underpants again and doesn't come clean about it for three days again my head may possibly explode...

This time I decided I may as well take the haphazard packing thing for a bit of a run

and seriously considered packing an unfinished canvas

not a teeny tiny canvas like the one above that was the inspiration for the large one

oh no... I considered taking the whopping canvas from the top pic... it is huge

so huge you run into walls trying to carry the thing because you can't see over or around it

I even got as far as taking it out to the car to see if I could stuff it in there

but alas unless we left Phantom at home it just wouldn't fit so it will continue to be perpetually in progress it would appear

of course by the time I then removed all the brushes and paints I had packed I found I had extra room for more yarn so it is looking like a sketching, reading, walk on the freezing beach and crochet sort of holiday...which sounds pretty awesome

Of course like all great family holidays there will also be games of cards that end in recriminations, shouts and possible blood feuds

a jigsaw that will be started and abandoned as we all realise we are rubbish at jigsaws

the house we are staying in has both a pinball and a space invaders machine

which should be fun for about a day until either the noise from it drives me insane

or Phantom and Sinus end up on the verge of killing each other

at which point I will be forced to be referee as if they were two children

rather than father and daughter

fun and games will ensue no matter what

in short it is going to be magnificent I am sure

happy painting all ... xx
