Critters

¿noʎ ǝɹɐ ʍoɥ ‘ollǝH Why has the world gone topsy turvy? The Diva asked if she could greet you today, from her usual spot on the her sofa. I swear she spends the majority of her time upside down… She also said it was about time I talked less about me, and had a chat…

Updates and Reminders

Hmm, why have I been so quiet? You may be wondering what I’m doing that’s keeping me so busy.  .  .or you might not – but I will tell you anyway! After a burst of inspiration, I find myself with 5 portraits waiting to be finished – I blame myself really, never was very good…

New Month = New Ideas

Yes, sooo how are you? It’s erm, been a little while hasn’t it, sorry about that! I wasn’t quite sure what to write first, so I grabbed my pen and this happened: I am a tad excited, in case you couldn’t tell 😉 I had a thought (dangerous, I know!!) that I could draw/doodle my…

Rise and shine

Honestly, I am so out of sync with the world at the moment – I haven’t even turned over my calendar page! The last week or so has been topsy turvy, and everything seems to have come along at once. Being stuck in bed with a virus really messes with your schedule… Luckily I am…

Time to travel

Tomorrow morning I will be heading off on an adventure! I will be bringing back many photos as I am visiting landmarks and a wildlife park on my travels Until then, looky at these pretty engines and cars I spotted at the Barleylands show Beauty in car form I spy sweeties!  I will aim to…

Inspired

“Hello” I hope you have been well? So, new blog name, title image…thingy – what do you think? Thought it was time for a change as I am finally able to get things done after a time of coldy/achey/dizzy horridness.  This seems to have passed, leaving me feeling much more active and needing to make up…

Rainy day…or was it?

Well, today turned out rather different to what I had planned… I loved visiting the Wildlife Heritage Foundation so much a while back, that when I saw they had an Open Day I was of course overjoyed! This was the sunshine during my last visit  All morning I was checking the weather forecast, getting increasingly…

Smudges & Stars

Firstly, I have been getting back to my usual messy self, with pastelly fingers and brand new smudges on my well-worn apron. It’s great to have portraits to work on – they certainly keep me busy! Secondly, I have some fun things coming up over the next few months, that I can’t wait to tell…

Sunshine

Today I am taking a break from my arty things, mostly due to the crazy weather I’ve woken up to! Instead, I have been busy taking photos out in the glorious sunshine, so that I  can look back at them and remind myself that we did once have a day without clouds… Our lurcher on…

Medieval Merriment

I’m back! Did you miss me? 😉 I’m finally at my laptop again, indoors & out of the rain at last. Yesterday was spent sliding around in muddy wellies, exploring the Robin Hood country show, camera in hand. I had a wonderful time, lots of new portrait ideas after seeing the vast array of dogs,…

Books

Each time I take a break from working on new portraits, I have been studying the latest addition to my bookshelf – ‘A Cat’s Life!’ (Photographs by Jane Burton) Its a truly wonderful book & the first thing I loved was its size; proper big images for me to admire, certainly worth being weighed down…
