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 →
The 52 Week Illustration Challenge
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 →
Easter Bunny!
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 →
Week 11 – The 52 Week Illustration Challenge
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 →
Week 9 & 10 – The 52 Week Illustration Challenge
I'm not quite sure where the days/weeks are going at the moment. It only feels like 5 minutes since I last blogged about my drawings and I'm already behind. The problem is that I agonise about getting the drawing perfect but that all takes time so I am going to have to be content with... Continue Reading →
Week 7&8 – The 52 Week Illustration Challenge

I am determined to keep up with this challenge though so I have done 2 quick drawings to catch up. Week 7 - Botanical Watercolour (Daniel Smith watercolour... Continue Reading →
Week 6 – The 52 Week Illustration Challenge

Week 5 – The 52 Week Illustration Challenge
Hello! I'm still working on the illustration challenge on Facebook. Week 5 was peacock and it sounded so simple. I thought I would have fun with lots of bold colours and draw lots of feathers but the reality is that when I sat at my desk I came up with nothing. A poorly son may... Continue Reading →
Week 4 – The 52 Week Illustration Challenge
I have fallen a bit behind with the Illustration Challenge this week mainly because I decided to tidy/re-organise my craft space (more on that another day - it turned out to be a huge job!) Week 4 theme was Ode to a favourite children's book. I went between 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' by Eric Carle... Continue Reading →
Week 3 – The 52 Week Illustration Challenge
Several days later than planned but here is my entry for this weeks 52 week illustration challenge on Facebook. This weeks prompt was Australiana and, oh boy, I struggled with this one. I had very few ideas and they all seemed a little predictable, throw in an under the weather 6 year old and a heap of... Continue Reading →
