Last week whilst I was procrastinating over getting some housework done (it's just far too hot to scrub the bathroom and push the hoover round) I pulled out my Brusho. Following on from my toucan picture last week I was still up for bold, bright colours and I knew that Brusho would offer that. For... Continue Reading →
Well, it's been a lovely sunny weekend and we've spent many hours outside enjoying it. I took the opportunity of kids playing happily to do a little drawing and painting with my very neglected watercolour pencils. I wanted something colourful so went with a bright Toucan. It is also the start of world watercolour month... Continue Reading →
Hello, I have no idea when I last blogged and I have to admit that I hesitated before sitting down to write today. I am going to be 100% honest and admit that I am struggling to fit everything in at the moment and, with so many balls that I seemingly have to keep in... Continue Reading →

In accordance to my new year post I am staying focused on my Etsy shop and trying to keep ahead with seasons and events. I seem to gravitate more and more towards my polymer clay at the moment but I think that it's because I can create whatever odd idea I have (within reason!) as... Continue Reading →
I've been trying to get back into my drawing over the last few weeks; I find it very relaxing but also very hard as I want everything to be perfect first time. I found myself getting very frustrated with my watercolours because nothing seemed to work but I now realise that this was largely because... Continue Reading →
