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 →
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 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 →
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 →
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'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 →
Oh dear, I fell behind with things again. There has been a lot going on and I've been busy but none of it has been particularly crafty. 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 →
I hope your week has started well. The kids are off school on their half term holiday so we have been busy today with a play date and trip to Hobby Craft (UK craft store) to stock up on children's crafting essentials. It was mainly for my 6 year old son as he had a... Continue Reading →
