It's brightening up

It's positively dreary outside today so I thought I'd brighten things up a bit with these recent ebay finds. I love this series of science books. I've had another one from the series for a few years now so I was really pleased to have found these to add to my collection. These are from the 60's and early 70's, fantastic illustrations. I will have to keep my eye out for more!

The last of 2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Apologies for the long post but just thought I'd catch up in one go, so here's the last of 2012. Had a fabulous trip to the South East coast. Above is Whitstable, beautiful place, yummy food and home to the wonderful Frank...

Next up, Rye. Another fantastic place, felt quite at home here. It helped staying at The Crows Nest above the amazing Lion Street Store many thanks to the owner, Sarah, for making us feel so comfortable! Check it out, they also stock prints by this fine man!

A short stop in Eastbourne on the way home.

Beautiful walk with beautiful friends in the Mendips.

Our cheeky monkey turned 1, Happy Birthday darling! (The lovely dog is by super talented Sally Nencini)

I managed to crochet Harry his first stocking, was finishing it on Christmas eve just in time for Santa's pressies!

Here's to a creative and inspiring 2013!

Catch up part 1: Kew

Have been up to all sorts lately seeing lots of beautiful things and places so will have to do a catch up over a few posts!

First up, Kew Gardens. We spent a lovely day here a couple of weeks ago, the weather was a bit on the damp side to say the least but it was just great to be outside soaking up a bit of Autumn. I was totally blown away by the Palm House and could have stayed in there all day! The scale of it is incredible and the ironwork is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend a visit!

A hat for Harry

Hooray, I finally managed to be a bit creative! I made Harry a hat...now, what's next?!

I'm also back in the studio, so hopefully I'll be able to pop up some new work soon, that's if I can remember how to do it :) There may also be a sale in my shop, so watch this space. It's time for action!

It's that time of year

I urge you to come along and enjoy our open studios this weekend. Lots of amazing artists showing their work and don't miss the mini canvas auction on Sunday afternoon to be in with a chance of taking home a beautiful original piece of art.

Rolly Boys

Picked up this little beauty on ebay recently. It's incredibly satisfying watching them spin. Perfect for the little man's room. One day he'll be able to play with it without slobbering all over it!
