I have fallen a bit behind with the Illustration Challenge this week mainly because I decided to tidy/re-organise my craft space (more on that another day - it turned out to be a huge job!) Week 4 theme was Ode to a favourite children's book. I went between 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' by Eric Carle... Continue Reading →
Several days later than planned but here is my entry for this weeks 52 week illustration challenge on Facebook. This weeks prompt was Australiana and, oh boy, I struggled with this one. I had very few ideas and they all seemed a little predictable, throw in an under the weather 6 year old and a heap of... Continue Reading →
I intended to post my illustration on Saturday (as I have for the last two weeks) but I'm still working on it so I thought I'd share a simple birthday card that I made before Christmas. It's a great one for using up little bits of patterned paper from previous projects. If you can cut a... Continue Reading →
If you missed my post last week I am attempting to keep up with the 52 week illustration challenge on Facebook. This weeks word prompt was 'feathered animals'. It seems I am still stuck a little on the whimsy of last week (possibly 'whimsy' is just my style!) and opted for fanciful birds decorating a... Continue Reading →

About 6 months ago I came across the '52 week Illustration Challenge' on Facebook - A word prompt is given, one for each week of the year, and you interpret the word in any... Continue Reading →
A little illustration (do I dare call it that?) for Christmas. Thank you for all for being such great blog friends. I truly appreciate all the time taken to like and make such lovely comments over the year. Wishing you all a happy Christmas and a peaceful new year. Hannah x
Happy Wednesday. I thought I'd quickly share a bracelet I finished today. The truth of the matter is that this little bracelet sat unfinished on my self for a good few months. I fell out with it and I'm not sure why because once I finally sat to finish today it was easy and relaxing. It... Continue Reading →
We all have those cards to make that can be a bit tricky, usually it is 'With Sympathy' ones or 'Thinking of You' as the subject matter, in those cases, is difficult. Well, it is my Husband's Aunt's birthday in a few days but her birthday also marks the first anniversary of her husband's death. I... Continue Reading →
Well, I currently have a builder knocking holes in an external wall so I'm at a bit of a loose end. There is no point trying to do much housework as the upstairs is now in a dust cloud and the noise is deafening so I can't concentrate on crafting. What else can I do?... Continue Reading →
Well, as of yesterday I'm another year older (definitely) and wiser (nope, still going to make the same silly mistakes as before). My darling hubby bought me some Brusho paints. If you haven't come across them before they are little tubs of powered paint/ink. You can either sprinkle them on dry paper and then add... Continue Reading →
