As you've probably noticed, I'm neglecting my illustrations a bit. Inspired by Emily's new project I've decide to try to remedy it with a bit of doodling. I'm afraid I'm not going to have something worth posting every day, but I hope it'll be more often than my IF pictures.

Nana wasn't amused when she discovered Jimmy was using her favourite wooden ladle as a weapon and he was forced to surrender it right in the middle of the mud battle.

Przyznam, że do tej pory nie rozglądałam się za bardzo, ale ostatnio, między innymi dzięki komentarzom pod moją myszą do wzięcia, odkryłam mnóstwo interesujących miejsc, a przy okazji też mnóstwo pięknych "cukierków". Tak więc z radością się dołączam i przekazuję dalej informacje, że:- Ona i ja rozdaje piękne kolczyki (do 20.09)- Nulka - całe mnóstwo scrapowych słodkości (do 21.09)- Zaczarowana

And the final version (of course I'm late):This is what I started with:Just a very quick sketch to show my idea. As you can see I'm as impatient as Jimmy, who is already getting into the spaceship, regardless of the fact that it's not ready yet. I'm not sure if Joey will be able to persuade him to finish painting the spaceship according to his sketches.

And so Jimmy climbed up the shaky ladder, found Nana's oldest, worn out scarf and Joey's well-worn pilot cap, and with shaky hands began unfolding the stories. He found the one about the adventure craving, bungee jumping spider. And the one about Annie drifting happily somewhere with her giraffe...(the spider is my husband's idea)

With the talisman from Nana, Milka became very confident, a bit overconfident maybe, and started singing. You can see what happened to the glasses and mirrors then.

Nana's instinct told her it is not going to work and she tried to tell her grandchildren so, but there was no stopping them. The celebration of Joey's birthday went so well that they wanted to turn back the time and celebrate it once again. (Secretly, Joey was also hoping to be able to prevent his Nana from using pink letters in his birthday banner).(sorry for putting three themes in one

Although there was a still a vacant seat on the train, when Joey appeared on the platform he realised that he was late and the train was already leaving. This was doubly distressing for him, as not only was he to take the train, but to repair its front light as well.(I'm sorry, I've just gotten over something like "illustrator's block" and I badly wanted to catch up)

Joey's "sugary ride" ;) Nana didn't know whether to laugh or shout at him when she saw all the sugar on the table, but in the end she just sat comfortably on the jelly dish and enjoyed the show. My husband has best ideas, don't you think?It was a real fun to illustrate this one.

Inspired by Archana, her beautiful photos here and her chai blog, I decided to make my very poor imitation of ginger tea. I liked it, but I'm not going to admit what I used to make it.

From the first part of holiday (south of Poland/a bit of Slovakia) we brought some photos, a bit of suntan (despite the rain) and a book in Slovak.If you want to see some photos, you'll find them here.

Jakoś tak wydawało mi się, że do tego trzeba mieć specjalny filtr a tu okazało się, że nie.

The fierce horde of Genghis the Mouse bring their sweet hoard home. (The rollerskate with sweets was my husband's idea)

As the bird at the feeder was rather suspicious, Joey the mouse decided to try his luck in the nearby nest. I'm afraid when the mother sees his colour he'll be in trouble.(The picture is for my husband, who invented Joey's adventure, and for my sister, who gave me the photo I thought of the moment I decided to draw Nana and her granddaughter, too. If you look closely you will see my grandmother

Back to team work - my husband's idea, illustrated by me :)I'm afraid it's a bit too long to scale properly, so better click the picture to see the larger version.And if you are interested in my version of wrinkles - the previous topic I didn't manage to illustrate on time - you may find it here

It's her first day here and she already wants to cook.I started with this pattern and then changed everything apart from the body. She still doesn't look like one of my mice, but it's the first plushie I've ever made.
