I will keep this short today as I'm writing on my phone. My laptop has decided that it needs a rest so is stubbornly refusing to work and I feel totally lost without it. I can't help but think that the snazzy windows update it gave itself has something to do with it. My phone... Continue Reading →
I keep checking that this was indeed week 22 of the Facebook illustration challenge. It seems so hard to believe that it is almost half way through. This weeks prompt was 'My Favourite Thing'. Well my current favourite thing are the 6 new Daniel Smith watercolours I treated myself too. I already had the watercolour... Continue Reading →
I'm back with more doodles for the 52 Week Illustration Challenge. Week 19 - Music This made me think of the many hours spent at toddler music groups with my kids. Always one of my favourite activities with them. Week 21 - Red I had fun just playing with watercolours this week - red ones... Continue Reading →

What's this? Yep, a second blog post in as many days. Truth be told I am currently nursing a headache and sore back so taking time to sit and allow painkillers to kick in so I thought this was a perfect time to show some of my new clay makes. I have a packet of Jaffa... Continue Reading →

Oh... Continue Reading →
The kids have gone back to school today after their Easter holidays. I never seem to blog much when they are off (can't think why!) so I thought I'd hop on today to say that I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend. He is such a cross looking rabbit. Perhaps someone stole his carrots... Continue Reading →
I often think I would love a craft room; a space to call all mine for crafty dreams but in reality I don't think I would enjoy it all that much. My craft space is situated between the fish tank and piano in the dining room. It is not a fancy dining room that we... Continue Reading →
Well, I actually managed to get a picture drawn and painted on time for this weeks illustration challenge. This weeks theme was perspective. It made me think of how my little boy used to sit on his knees and press his head to the floor so he could watch the wheels on his toy cars... Continue Reading →
I made a lot of jewellery before Christmas that were altogether more complicated than my usual makes. I learned new bead weaving stitches, I spent hours playing with clay to make new beads and I had a blast but sometimes I come back to the idea of clean and simple especially when I am a...
