Drawing and painting is still a little tricky for me right now, parenting is all consuming and babies especially. R is now 8 months old and literally getting into everything, she is crawling, standing, pulling DVD’s off of the shelf, eating bits of the carpet, throwing her food around, teething, she is generally a wonderful,…
I haven’t written a pregnancy update in a good while so thought I’d do one today now that I’m at the 36 week mark! I have been keeping a written diary as well to look back on but its also nice to have digital record to look back on too. According to my Babycentre app,…
I don’t make New Years resolutions, what a waste of time! New year, new me, no thanks, I’m fine the way I am! I believe that we are on a continuous journey and are always able to heal and grow ourselves. Just because its a new calendar year, we don’t need to go on extreme…
I had to get some thoughts out today, something that I can’t quite get my head around and is very hard to deal with at times. I’m a mother of three. But I can only see one of them, I can only hold one of them. My beautiful eight year old daughter is right here…
Lately I’ve been forced to slow down, a lot. Not that I’m a particularly energetic person in general, don’t get me wrong, but I do like to keep busy and I feel guilty if I’m not doing something productive. I’m now almost in my third trimester, time really is flying by! And I’m almost 36…
Every year I plan to create some work for various festivities, and every year I leave it too late. So this year I decided to make just one festive card and print to sell in my Folksy and Etsy shops. The picture I selected was one that I painted a couple of years ago but…
Well, here we are already at the 25 week mark! Sometimes it feels like this pregnancy is flying in, other times it seems to be dragging. I have to keep reminding myself that at almost 36 years old, as much as I can’t wait to meet our little girl, that this is likely to be…
I’ve been selling my art via Etsy for a while now and things have been feeling a bit stale and like I need a new platform. My hope eventually is to sell my art via this website but in the meantime there are lots of fantastic outlets online for selling your art. I’d heard of…
A few months ago, I had the privilege of being commissioned by writer and author Emilie-Noelle Provost to illustrate the front cover of her new children’s book, The Blue Bottle. I did a post about this on my old blog but thought I’d write about it again since I’ve had to start my website from…
I’ve been vegetarian for a good couple of years now and I was brought up eating a lot of vegetarian meals as my mum was vegetarian. I’ve dabbled in veganism too and I do hope to go vegan again at some point. I was vegan at the beginning of the year and please don’t hate…
