Exciting things.

Exciting things.....

My work is now for sale in a shop called The Dandy Lion, New Albany, Indiana.....all the way over in America! You should definitely check out their blog.

It looks like a magical shop, I'd love to go! They also have a facebook page, with lots of good pictures. 

If you haven't already, take a peek at the sale in my Etsy shop, I want to make way for lots of new work (which is also rather exciting), so I'm having a sale. You can get original paintings like the one above, at a bargain price! 

On another exciting note, I'm going to Cruckley Farm tomorrow to feed the goats and sheep and donkeys.....and then I'm going camping at the beach! I'm probably more excited about this than I should be. I love being outdoors, I do wish the North Sea was a little less baltic though. 

Have a nice weekend everybody!

A Sale!

A Sale!

Hello everyone, I just thought I would let you know that I am currently having a sale in my Etsy shop. You can bag yourself high quality prints, just like the one above, for just £3.50! Or an original little painting for just £7.00. I will also pop a free greeting card into the parcel... Good eh?

Oh, and I really do love my wooden Muji pencil. I really do. 

Sewing and Listening.

This evening I have been sewing some new creatures to send to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park for their gallery shop. Im really pleased that people like these and have bought them! I think I will paint more of a summery background for these ones, seeing as it's summer. (Well it's supposed to be...)

I shall keep you posted.

I'm listening to the Into The Wild soundtrack. I love this film... I thoroughly recommend watching it. 

Little cards...

I am a fan of small cards. 

I thought I would get some small cards printed with my very own illustrations on them. I like them! 

This set of four is now up for grabs in my new FOLKSY shop, at a bargain price. You can have a look here.

I found a treasure!

I'm nearing the end of my wedding invite designs and they'll be ready to print in the next couple of days. I'm rather excited. I took a little break today to take some things to the charity shop. It' a good feeling......

I bought a spectacular little book for 99 pence. I had to share it. It's so strange and good.

'The Dog-faced Baboon is from the Coast of Guinea; it is very ferocious and disgusting when fully grown.'

On a less monkyish note, the flowers I planted are looking nice and colourful...

I like flowers and I like pocket sized books.

A picnic? Yes please...

I have a new picnic and I love it so much. My mum gave me it and last weekend I finally had the chance to use it! I made a birthday picnic for my boyfriend's birthday which involved brie, cake, crisps, beer, scrumpy, chocolate rolls, dib-dabs and balloons.

I even made a new friend, as you can see. A wonderful time was had by all. 

On a separate note, I have almost finished the final designs for my wedding invite commission. I can't wait to get them printed!

I have returned.

Last week, my boyfriend and I packed a tent, some blankets, wetsuits and a tent and went on our travels. We ended up in Wales, on the south-west coast. I must say that Welsh people are extremely friendly.

We camped here and there, the first night on a very windy, but beautiful beach. 

After a few days we ended up in Glastonbury. I have never been before-it's got a pretty good tor.

Here are some of the things that I saw and did and liked:

-We made a huge fire on the beach.

-Ate salmon on a bbq.

-Watched two seals play and dance with each other for a long time.

-Jumped of the side of a disused, flooded quarry.

-Swam in the sea.

-Built kerns.

-Walked.

-Made friends with a boat man.

-Jumped into a waterfall.

-Watched the Royal Wedding and drank guinness.

-Played crazy golf.

-Climbed the tor and nearly got blown away.

-Watched the stars.

-Ate a curry.

-Sampled some scrumpy.

There's a great bookshop on Glastonbury called The Speaking Tree. The books are cheap....I treated myself to a few. This one was only £6.00...

I love everything about this book.

I had a wonderful week...

The creative cogs in my brain are turning.
