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 →
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 →

Always one of my favourite activities with them. Week 21 - Red I had fun just playing with watercolours this week - red ones... Continue Reading →
I have tried so many times in the past to make flower polymer clay canes but with little to no success. The idea is to make a long sausage of clay with a pattern running down the length of it which you can cut slices off and use as you wish. A month or so... 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 →
It's been a while but I'm back with more illustrations for the Facebook challenge. Its been a bonkers few weeks - the kids were under the weather, two week Easter holiday, Hubby had laser eye surgery for glaucoma (he is only in his 40's) which then didn't work and, you all know, just life. 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 →
