Doodling on a cold day

Today is one of those days. It's cold and dark and horrible, I have second degree burns on my arms (don't ask!) and there's nobody around and all I want to do is build a nest and snuggle up in it and doodle.

One of my new year's resolutions is to do more drawing. Probably not many none of you know this but during university I used to draw a webcomic. It wasn't a super famous one but it had a small following, enough that I could make a little pocket-money through advertising. I miss drawing things every day. I haven't really drawn anything since my wedding invitations...

I've thought a lot before about perhaps making a webcomic about a fat girl before, but the thing is... I don't know how to make it funny. It would be all too easy to slip up and become self-deprecating, or to come across as bitter. I don't think the world needs anything like that. I think the world just needs a bit more colour, a bit more cuteness and a lot more happiness.

So today I decided to doodle a couple of pretty fat ladies and write down a positive message that I believe in. So this is what I've drawn...


I guess that's what I want everyone to take away from this blog when they read it. I want everyone to feel that they are beautiful. (Also, I want someone to make me a dress like that)

I want to apply my doodling to my blogging somehow... maybe I should start drawing my favourite bloggers? Or maybe I should draw a cute banner for the top of the page or something. I'm not sure... Would you guys like to see me add some doodles to the mix too?

Anyway, I'll do an outfit post soon when it's not so stormy and cold.
In the mean time, remember...
