A few week ago we went to clothes shopping for my kids. You can't go too wrong with supermarket clothes (especially for growing kids) so we went to Asda. Whilst I definitely wasn't looking for myself, I found a jumper with 3 large daisies on the front and fell in love with it. It makes... Continue Reading →
I'm still keeping up with Inktober. Admittedly it's only the 7th of October so there's time yet to fall behind! I won't ramble on today. Micron pen with a black Inktense pencil. I really need to learn to let the paper dry in between layers of Inktense! Playing with my new Pentel brush pen. I... Continue Reading →
Hello, A blog a second day in a row! This looks a lot like me trying to get organised. My eldest is off school today on an in-set day (teacher training type day) so she is sat next to me chatting and sewing penguins so if my sentences seem illogical it's because I have a... Continue Reading →
I seem to be totally rubbish at this whole blogging malarkey at the minute. It's not because I don't want to blog but I've been spending all my free time making jewellery for a craft fair in November. I'm a slow crafter! Seriously, I am worried about how much I have ready to take and... Continue Reading →
Hello, Long time no see! I fell down the school summer holiday hole. I am climbing back up slowly and just at the point of peeking my head out. The kids are not back yet (next Thursday - not that I am counting down the days or anything) but hubby has just taken them out... Continue Reading →
We are well into the school summer holidays so crafting is a little slower than normal but I have been itching to use the new pip beads I bought in my local bead shop. They are lovely and unlike anything I have used before. Think squashed apple pips with a hole in the pointy end!... Continue Reading →
Popping in with another painting as part on World Watercolour Month. It is quite typical for me to suddenly find time for something at the 11th hour 🤣 Anyway, today's prompt is stormy days. Not my best painting but this was a sofa doodle painted in half light after a late dinner. My intention was... Continue Reading →
Well, July is officially World Watercolour month and I wanted to join in but the month has gone by so fast and I haven't done one painting. I have had some quiet time today to sit at my desk and, fully intending on doing some beading, I found myself getting my watercolours out and filling... Continue Reading →
Hello! It seems a like lifetime since I wrote a blog post. Its been a looooong 6 weeks or so (possibly 6 months but who's counting). My laptop broke, closely followed by my mobile phone, closely followed by my tumble dryer - it's summer I know, I can dry my washing outside but it won't... Continue Reading →
My poor blog has been so neglected for the last few weeks as my laptop went to laptop heaven and my mobile phone decided to follow shortly after but I'm back (new phone all set up and ready) with a special illustration for my new baby nephew. A little background - my sister (baby's Mum)... Continue Reading →
