Pretties on the Catwalk made by 10 and 11 Year Olds.
Well, just as we hoped – our viewer came back for a second look this weekend and has fantastically made an offer on our house! Now SOLD (Subject to Contract)! I am thrilled because as I mentioned we were down in Nottingham again this weekend visiting friends at the Steiner School and being there again just confirmed for me how much I want for my kids there asap. There is such Spirit put into everything that goes on there. Read more…

...and 'All That Jazz!' 23 x 30cm on 13mm deep MDF board.
‘Arazamataz! It’s got plenty of Jazz!’ I’ve experimented here with tons of new and unfamiliar techniques (to me!) including Golden Modelling Paste (for the background texture) and stiff foil which I indented and boot-polished. I’ve also added cheesecloth (around the foils) and embellished with silver thread and recycled old buttons from Mama’s sewing box. I think some of them have been around longer than me! Read more…

Me & My Gal.
I’ve completed this painting with such ease!! And I have of course, (as expected) really enjoyed the process. Making sure I have achieved being ‘in the zone’ before I have started has helped me work better and I have done this through my intentions (thoughts), listening to audio (music and spoken word) and setting the correct working environment with little distraction. I’ve been trying hard this week to keep myself grounded and I have felt in touch with myself (my true self!) most of the time, which I feel is an achievement with so much uncertainty around me at the moment. We went to view nine houses at the weekend and had four viewings of our home last week! I think we have got definite interest in ours but we still have no where to go. We are travelling down to Nottingham this afternoon to view another house and I’ve got a really good feeling about this one! I’m excited! It’s hard to stay in the moment and prevent oneself from living in a future projected world in times like this. Read more…

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!!
