I have been struggling to come to terms with my decision to have a break and do the art/ craft thing for a month or so. For as long as I can remember, I have followed everyone’s rather sensible advice about keeping your job until you’ve got another one to go to, never quitting when…

Monday Illustration
Actually I did this on Friday, but that’s between you and I. I’m feeling rather dizzy from working with resin! I have a respirator with a filter for dust particles, but it doesn’t work for resin fumes when it’s still liquid. I’m counting down the days until I can fiddle faddle full time with my…

My bridal bucket!
I’m almost sold on hyacinth for my wedding bouquet. I found this lovely picture from floristblogs.com. The bouquet consists of Sweet Pea, Hyacinth, Peony and Roses. This posy is so me it’s not funny – kind of vintage looking without being over the top tizzy, and it has a cascade of vines to “lengthen my…
