I was feeling a little out of sorts on Friday...but I'm much better now, thank you... this is also for Sunday Sketches
As you know Mr Hollywood and I have been house hunting...well we have found the perfect house and this beautiful tower sits at the bottom of the front garden...(I should say, that unfortunately the tower doesn't come with the house)...can't have everything. The house we have fallen in love with is an old Charentaise house, a ruin....of course...but in my head we have already lovingly restored and decorated it...and I have imagined myself and Mr Hollywood sitting up in bed in the our vast bedroom looking out on this tower.....my workroom/office in the smaller middle bedroom also overlooking this tower......in the summer, lunching/dining with friends and family in the garden....and in the winter in our beautifully decorated vast dinning room....obviously I will get out my fine French crystal glasses...Yes lots of work and mega amounts of elbow grease and money are needed ....yes in my head we are already living there.....yes my imagination has run completely wild...
So fingers crossed and lots of praying....that soon I will be able to bore you all completely silly with house renovation stories.........

Oh wow, it would be so lovely. Sending good vibes your way. Believe!!
I love how you've tied these thoughts into your sketch this week. I'm sure this tower must have one of those big old keys - aren't they fab!
wowwwww! Would you take any lodgers when you do get this house...I'd happily live in the tower!! :)Stunning!
Everything is crossed for you!
Glad you're feeling back to "normal"
cute sketch as always! :) x
No probs in staying Jenny, unfortunately the tower doesn't actually come with the house. Maybe one day if we manage to buy the house we'll be able to buy the tower later on...if we win the lottery...haha...
So glad to hear you found a place....too bad that tower doesn't come along, it would be a great studio. How exciting a new home....keeping fingers crossed for you!
i think your sketch is really sweet too, holding the big key to a new home!!! adorable outfit, too!! have a great sunday!
Love the little girl in the sketch, she is adorable. Much luck with your new home, hope it all goes your way. The tower looks like it is holding lots of secrets, just waiting to be discovered.
Hi Catherine! Thank you for saying hello. Your work is lovely and I look forward to browsing around.

Love your sketch and her multicoloured stockings.....wonderful!
Good luck with the dream house.......sounds perfect!
Wow! Even if the tower doesn't come with the house could you ask for a better view? Congratulation and good luck with the dream house. Your sketch captures the story perfectly. I am in love with her jacket, of all things.
Such a cute illustration. A Key to unlock the house.
What a cool tower!! I am keeping my fingers crossed to. I too have a house that is a fixer upper. One day at a time.
Your art is precious!
I wish you the best on your house. I also like this tower!

Aww, that sounds so nice and I can so picture it too. good luck with all the house stuff and hunting.
Love this picture, Catherine--especially those socks. Adorable. you have such a light whimsy style that is very endearing indeed.
Your illustration is awesome! Love the tower story. My MIL lived across the street from a water tower. Brings back memories!

Oh I am imagining with you, renovating, moving, so exciting. I look forward because I know how creative and wonderful you are. It'll be your all time sketch;) I pray that your dream will come true and all efforts easy. The view of the tower and the trees, the house must be in a special place. Like Rapunzel is your neighbour;)
I posted something on Malaysia that you might like;)
