The Changing Seasons – September 2020

It’s time again for the wonderful challenge The Changing Seasons hosted by my dear friend Su from Zimmerbitch!

You might have noticed that I’ve skipped the Changing Seasons challenge last month.

It wasn’t actually for the lack of suitable photos to represent my month but more a case of feeling a bit under the weather.

Before I start with my September however, here come a couple of shots from what I have been up to in August:

After months of dedicated knitting I finished a new pair of socks!

And on a walk in a park I discovered this fabulously built lean-to:

So much for August.

In September I was determined to finally do my very own doodle calendar after months of admiring the ones made by my lovely friend A Wonderful Sheep! Please check out her awesome blog/YouTube channel and IG!

It was a lot of fun to decide at the end of each day what little picture to draw to represent my day.

Sometimes it was fairly easy, like when a dove crash landed on my balcony and I had to catch it to bring it to a veterinarian. (It was fine, just under shock and afterwards I released it in a park.)

Or when I had a huge row with one of my colleagues (look out for the little skull!).

Most of the time it was just the usual however: making art or music, cooking, baking, or just reading a good book.

This month I also managed to finish a watercolor that I have started ages ago – at least I could hold my promise to do so before Christmas!

On the other hand I also managed to somehow wreck my current work in progress! Now it sports a big fat hole and I still haven’t found the time to pay my canvas dealer a visit in order to fix the problem!

You can probably imagine how devastated I was, and to prove it I haven’t worked on my painting ever since, even though I could just work around the hole.

Luckily my passiflora beautifully compensated me with one of its magnificent flowers to cheer me up:

And this was it! Hope you enjoyed this post, and I look forward to reading yours!
