Overload

Overload

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. I went to my creative space today, but the cupboard was bare. Or should I say full? I can honestly say that my head is so full,  that there isn’t the space for anything new just now. Art yes. Business no. It’s been a gradual process, this filling up.  Many years of gathering ideas, information, knowledge, crap,  unresolved dilemmas, political debate, business deals, numbers –  an endless daily mental pummeling. There’s so much to…

Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to pop in. I’m glad you did though, because I want to show off the brand new stencil which was on offer today during Maria’s live hours on HOCHANDA. Didn’t she do well ?!?!

Hello there. Thanks for taking some time out of your Bank Holiday Monday to pop in.  One of the TV demos on Saturday was stamping on the New Northern Lights parchment with the new Flutterby Carpe Diem Girl and my all time fave, the Fly Away Boy.… And today, I have to say, I couldn’t think of a more appropriate piece of artwork to express what I am feeling. Gratitude in spadefuls. Let me take you to Rye, where we…

Roast Lamb? Dream on!

Roast Lamb? Dream on!

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Beautiful day here darn sarf. Sunday.  Early morning walk,  then breakfast on the veranda. Read the paper and drink coffee. Roast a leg of lamb slowly in the Aga. Spot of weeding in the garden, deadhead the flowers and water the hanging baskets. Reality check. Get up at 7, see Dave off to work,  and clear a space in the kitchen to erect the ironing board. Listen to Stephen Fry read me Sherlock Holmes…

Carpe Diem! A simple, EARLY step by step

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Just got home about an hour ago, had a little catch up with Dave, and then thought I’d come upstairs to chat to you. Tell you what, I was thinking about you on the drive home. How amazing that so many of you were watching at 7 am! I asked you to join me, so I wasn’t flying solo,  but I honestly didn’t expect so many of you to actually show up! And then…

All Porky Pies…

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. What a lovely sunny day it has been. Rosie and I have had a smashing day. Had intended to go shopping in Stamford, but the traffic headed to the Burghley Horse Trials was extreme, so we hung a left  and took the scenic route to nowhere in particular. (Dave heaves a sigh of relief) Until we saw the sign for …. MELTON MOWBRAY STOP THE CAR!! She yelled (Rosie, that is) And that was…
