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 →
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 →
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 →

A little illustration (do I dare call it that?) for Christmas. Thank you for all for being such great blog friends. I truly appreciate all the time taken to like and make such lovely comments over the year. Wishing you all a happy Christmas and a peaceful new year. Hannah x
Well, I currently have a builder knocking holes in an external wall so I'm at a bit of a loose end. There is no point trying to do much housework as the upstairs is now in a dust cloud and the noise is deafening so I can't concentrate on crafting. What else can I do?... Continue Reading →
Well, as of yesterday I'm another year older (definitely) and wiser (nope, still going to make the same silly mistakes as before). My darling hubby bought me some Brusho paints. If you haven't come across them before they are little tubs of powered paint/ink. You can either sprinkle them on dry paper and then add... Continue Reading →
We are not big on celebrating Halloween but my daughter and I have been reading The Worst Witch together so I decided, given the time of year, that I would have a go at drawing a witch. Life has been really busy over the last few months and my poor blog has been a little... Continue Reading →
