My apologies – this post isn’t about knitting! You may think we are crazy but it is at least creative…

It’s about doodling on shopping lists. And an excuse to show you some doodles and record them for posterity.

So what is this about? Traditionally, in our home, Ben has always adorned my shopping lists with little doodles of the items I need to buy – the man draws a wicked loo roll! This has developed into what I’m about to show you.

I have a magnetic notepad for my shopping list on my fridge. It has this cute line drawing of Pooh Bear on the top of each page. He’s by Ernest H Shepard – “Edward Bear Reading Newspaper”

“Nothing worthy of a blog post there!”, I hear you cry.

“Bear” with me on this one… (Sorry – I can’t resist a pun) 😉

Ben likes to doodle….

I found this “Dwarf Pooh” adorning the fridge…

I had to retaliate….

I created “Ben Pooh” (OK – funnier if you know Ben and what a geek he is!)

He was followed by Punk Pooh by Ben

“Hmmmm”, I thought – “I’m being outdone – time to raise the game…”

I introduced colour and created my masterpiece – Disco Pooh…

the escalation continues with Ben’s Orc Pooh

and the latest by me, Lego Pooh

There are about 20 pages left on the pad – the challenge is going to be coming up with 20 more original “Poohable” ideas! 🙂
