Side A 'Lets Go Dancing'

Side B 'Fuck This I Just Want to Dance'

Daniel made it for my birthday. Isn't it wonderful!

It reminds me of this.

Mending, fixing, dancing!

It was my birthday recently. As a gift, Hatty stole a pair of my shoes (with the help of Daniel). She then spent rather along time fixing them. They had completely fallen apart - there was holes in the soles, the leather had come unwoven, the heels completely worn out and she made them look brand new. I'm so very pleased! Talk about make do and mend! The top picture is a card she made me from her shoe fixing packaging ; )

1940s Victoriana

I found this charming little book whilst clearing out. It was printed in 1947.

This pull out print was inside, I think I'll put it in a frame. The colours are brilliant.

My latest project.

I haven't been keeping up with my commitment to the blogging world. However I have started a new project which I am enjoying called TODAY I SAW. Each day I have been trying to do a drawing on a blank postcard of something I see. I then send it to someone I know. Please do take a look here.

Pretty Papers

Been working hard, printing and painting papers for children's projects. Gives me ideas for my own work. Daniel and I are planning to have an exhibition in early June, so I'd better get making. Got lots of ideas though.

I was lucky

I got to see this robin's nest up close. The little pair of robins have been nesting in Pat and Peter's garden. Their bird expert friend told them they can sneak peeks for a few days whilst the birds eyes are closed, but once open, the birds may jump out the nest with freight! I was lucky enough to be visiting during the closed eyes period. They were opening their mouthes to be fed. Cute! Cute!

Let me explain...

I've been a little busy. My friend Matt from Chicago came to stay. Daniel and I moved house and have been unpacking all week.
