I have been looking for fresh inspiration of drawing/painting projects. The doodle challenge was great but now it is finished it's up to me to keep some of the momentum going and to push myself to try new things. I had been mulling over a few ideas but nothing really struck me as a 'I... Continue Reading →
The doodle challenge run by Johanna Fritz has now finished 😦 It was such a good challenge for me as I always say I want to improve my drawing but then shy away from really pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I also learned that I can't really doodle as I get lost in all the small... Continue Reading →
Hello, I've been missing for a while. I have missed writing on my blog this week but I really like to make sure I have enough time to sit and write something coherent rather than a load of garbled nonsense. The end of a school year is always busy but it always takes me aback... Continue Reading →
I'm still plodding away with the doodle challenge run by Johanna Fritz on Instagram. The last few weeks have been a little busier than normal so some of my doodles are embarrassingly bad (I really hate UFO, bikini and frisbee!) but thought I'd show them all rather than miss out days. There is still a little... Continue Reading →
Hello, I thought I'd drop in between loads of laundry and school summer plays to show you my recent makes. A family member saw a sterling silver necklace I had made on my Facebook page (shameless plug for The Artisan Duck on Facebook - feel free to find me and like!) and asked for one...

Hello! I thought a quick catch up on my doodles was in order (mainly so I don't over load you all at the end of the month) so I'm sneaking on my laptop between jobs. This is part of a doodle challenge on Instagram #365doodleswithjohannafritz where you get a word prompt for the day and doodle... Continue Reading →
My laptop seems in a better mood today and has let me access my backup photos (they automatically back up from my mobile) so I can show some of the doodles I have been doing as part of the 365 doodles with Johanna Fritz. This was bought to my attention by another blog (sorry, my linking thing doesn't seem... Continue Reading →
I fell in love with the Hero Arts Hipster Animals stamp set when I stumbled across them on Amazon (as you do) and I knew I just had to have them. They are so cute but great for cards for men. There are a selection of animals and then you can dress them up with... Continue Reading →
I'm back with my entry for this weeks color throwdown CTD 391. This weeks colours are lovely and I haven't made a card in a few weeks (my beads have been out instead) so I thought I would get back into the swing of things with some no line water colouring and attempting to colour...

I've had an aimless week although not because I have nothing to do. I've lost track how many times I have set myself a task to do and then find myself sitting watching Netflix an hour later with that task still not done. I get so frustrated when I feel like this but I also... Continue Reading →
