Watch out! It's a..........
Hooorah!! The house-painting is all finished and the place has never looked so damn good! We will be up for sale later this week hopefully. Meanwhile, I have been back in the office this week (where my studio is also!). A full day of doing accounts today (poop poop!) but yesterday I picked up a painting I started a couple of months ago and have started to have some luck with it (it wasn’t going too well!). Will display it here later. To keep me sane whilst I have been decorating I have made this little crafty piece. A pen topper from felt! (Thanks Lou for showing me how!). I realised it looks “……A Bit of an Animal!“ It wasn’t my intention (and I don’t even really watch tele) but it finished up like the Pepperami mascot. And me? A Vegetarian!!

Diary 
Me painting outside today!
So busy!! Not much time to make or do much of anything. Today (and most of the past month) I have been tied up with painting the house inside and out in preparation for putting it on the market. We’re currently residing near Leeds but plan to soon be moving to the Nottingham area. We have 2 children for whom I really wish for them to attend a Rudolph Steiner school. My eldest child is due to go up to high school this Sept but I am left cold by nearly all of the state schools I have visited and even those that exhibited promise don’t wholly put me at ease.

Diary Here is my new blog, lovingly put together for me by my Jamie (everyone needs a Jamie!) whilst I fell asleep next to him the other night. I did not even know he had completed it for me until now when he just unveiled it to me, so my fingers are eager to put words to screen!
I plan to share my life journey here, and so much is happening right now. It is a creative journey, one of discovery as I forge new paths. My art is changing, the place I live will soon be changing, new relationships will be forged and old ones maintained but always changing. Nothing ever stays the same. I am learning to embrace the new, the now, the what is!! Whether I like it or not. Whether it is so called ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Man, I’m challenged, ha ha! Please share my journey. I hope you can relate in part or full to my ramblings.
