Doodling Dots

      Hi everyone. Happy Sunday to you. I hope you're having a nice weekend. Our winds have finally died down after almost a week of constant blowing. We also had around an inch of light snow yesterday. Strange how south of New England they have more snow than us up here further north, but I need to watch what I say because I am sure there will still be some snow in the forecast as it is only January. 😈

      Last week with the very cold weather I spent a lot of time doing some deep art space cleaning so I went all week without making any art except for some doodling while I watched some TV at night. I keep a small journal and some markers tucked in under the couch so when I feel like doodling I can easily grab them.

     Today I'm sharing my doodle pattern page for Mia's Dots challenge at Art Journal Journey. When I watch TV and doodle I like to make patterns. I find it very relaxing, plus I can  play with color and design. My page today would make a great background for something, and it probably will in the future. 😏


   My husband gave me a hyacinth bulb that was rooted in a pretty little jar filled with water for Christmas, and it's already blooming. It's so nice to see this thought of spring ❤which seems like a long way off right now. 

    Otherwise there's not much else new so I will keep this post short. I should add that I will be linking to Gillena's Sunday Smiles also.

     Have a great rest of your weekend and start to the new week.

The hyacinth flowers and leaves look perfect in front of the snowy background. They are much bigger than the car behind.

Love your doodle page. Very colorful. Relaxing for you, stressful for me (grin). What a stunning hyacinth. So much larger than the ones I purchased a few years ago.

Wow, that looks like such a fun and cheerful dotted page! I love that you've taken the time to doodle it all and I've been wanting to sit down and just do that. The bright colors are so happy especially this time of the year! The flowers look so nice and cheery as well! Happy week my friend!

That hyacinth is the best. What a wonderful thing for him to give you and I'll bet it smells fabulous. Love the dots. They're just so happy!

So glad the hyacinth is blooming for ya, a nice thoughtful present for you given your "love" (not) of winter, so you'll have some blooms. I just skimmed over your books as my brain just couldn't focus on all the details, but congrats for reading so many and keeping such good records. Glad the wind let up, XXO

That's a great hyacinth you have there. I've never had one growing in water myself but have seen them.
Great doodle page, I like my Dylusion girls because they are so outrageous that I can lay any colour down without thinking if it clashes or not so I can see how relaxing your doodling must be. Fab to experiment with colour.
Hugs, Neet xx
