time for a cup of cocoa

 


I mix my own instant cocoa mix from powdered milk and dry cocoa powder — that way, I can choose my own level of “sweet”. The mixes you can buy at the store are way too sweet! I can also choose stevia or other sweeteners instead of processed sugar. Last night I mixed a cup in my bone china Scottie mug . . . then added marshmallows, negating the “healthier” aspect.

I messed up when drawing the end table so I left it unpainted. Bill designed it for me years ago with a drawer to hold sketching tools and an inlaid checkerboard in darker wood on the top to play games with grandkids. I drew a few of the intersecting lines before realizing I had more than 8 squares width-wise. Oops!

The lamp base shown is to an antique lamp that came from Bill’s Swedish grandmother’s farmhouse. Maybe I should draw the whole thing some day.
