A Lightbulb Moment…

A Lightbulb Moment…

Hi there Before I climb up the apple n pears to winkin blinken and nod, I just want to thank everybody who joined in this afternoon, with our first official paid online Workshop. Judging by the dozens of fabulous landscape scenes which have been proudly popping up all over Facebook, I’d like to say, it was a success! You have to have it in your hand in front of you to really get how cool it is! This artwork is…

Percy Verance and his mate…

Hi there I always read all your responses when you post below these blogs. Even if i don’t always respond to them. But there was one a couple of days ago which really made me smile.  Sonia Parker says: 9th October 2024 at 11:37 pm Edit My Mum had two friends Percy Verance and Will Power xx Brilliant! I had talked about two creeps that were doing press-ups in the car park at the moment, waiting for me. They’re called Agg and…

Agg & Wurry – DO ONE!!!

Agg & Wurry – DO ONE!!!

Hi there, When all around you are losing their rag, when things are just rubbish, and the rain is running down the windows, there are two instant tonics: https://www.facebook.com/1004431287/videos/10209485498506742 There was a big sign right next to this pink camel, that said, “strictly no climbing on the sculptures.” Whatever…we certainly got off fast when the cops turned the corner though! 😂😂😂 We couldn’t NOT climb up on it!! Well, Paul made it; I couldn’t get my leg over!! Can you…

Looking back…

Looking back…

Hi there. So how far back shall we travel on our timeline today? How about just a year? You know that line in a song, “What a difference a day makes? 24 little hours” Well, string 365 of them together, and then take a look back! According to my phone, October 8th last year was a Sunday. According to my photos, Dave and I went for a picnic up on the Ashdown Forest with his daughter Laura and the family……

Update on Create & Craft and a Real Treat!

I said I’d keep you posted, and I have. Let’s just agree that you can’t help the thoughts that come into your head, but you don’t…

Teamwork

Hi there Picked up a kebab on the way home from Clarity Towers, from the local Kebambulance, (I kid you not!). Woofed it down as soon as we’d fed Erik and Ragnar the cats, (No. Not Doner!) I ate more of the salad than Dave, just cos it’s healthier (and he won’t eat anything that’s been even NEAR cucumber! 😂) It was real soul food. Hot and spicy. And a £9 portion was more than enough for both of us!…

A new Technique…

A new Technique…

Hi Went for our flu jab, which was pretty rapid! In one door and out the other! Literally one minute from entry to exit. God bless the NHS. Then went for an early walk up on the forest with Dave, to clear the head. Got to keep it in the day, stop projecting. Serves no purpose. I decided to clear up my art room when we got back; what a mess it was! Still hadn’t even cleared away the boxes…

Hi there Been busy today, prepping for a TV show on Sunday 3-5pm. I do hope you will be able to watch! These new Poppet stamps are rather delightful!
