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 →

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 →
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 →
