WILMA



This is little Wilma that I have been working on. She is a Lahsa-poo. Very sweet and full of gusto! She has been a treat to paint. Oil on canvas by the way..

Anyway, I am back from a girlie weekend away in London. We conquered Covent Garden and gave the Rikshaw boys a run for their money. Haha.. The only problem is, I have returned exhausted and need a holiday just to recoop!

We all enjoyed the sauna and pool and the lush food feast that seemed to be everywhere. I most likely have put on a few pounds but it was well worth it!

The weather is not too special today and I cant wait for sun! So where is it I ask?

The kids will soon be off for Easter! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm which means more choccy for me to pilfer!

HAPPY EASTER

CLocks go forward.........


Well for all you Brits, just a gentle reminder that our clocks jump forward this weekend. I wouldnt mind normally but this weekend I am off on a girlie weekend in London. So we actually lose an hour!! AGH!

Here is the painting I have been working on , lots to do but you get the drift of things.

Easter is soon upon us, and that means lots of belly aches for me while I pilfer my childrens easter baskets.. This year is even worse as I have started early and hoarded treats for their baskets.. And already the stash is slowly diminishing! Oh and YES I still use easter baskets.. I refuse to buy the over packaged eggs, that when you open them they crumble to nothing as they are so thin. So I fill theirs with many different bits and bobs. x

PS. as I write this I have worked my way through a mini eggs bag, Cadburys of course.

Well must dash.

will post a pic soon of the doggie I am working on

chitty chat chat

Sometimes when wee ones rattle on, you tend to tune out. Especially if its a wee boy in question. Today however, Maia said something quite funny. Walking by the tin opener she paused. Then she turned and said ' who invented the tin opener? Was is Frankenstein?' I immediately knew what she meant. She meant Einnstein. However he didnt invent it either, I am sure. Haha , I would just like to know what her world must be like. With Frankenstein inventing tin openers and Dracula inventing the phone, who is there about to scare everyone?

Today I stared a new painting. Its of a Blythe doll and for a special someone. I havent painted dolls in years, so its been an interesting day. Here is what I have done so far.



After yesterdays lovely sun, I was all geared up for some today.. The morning was a bit hazy but I waited all day for the sun to break through.... it didnt :(

Oh yes mothers day just passed here. I was served a lovely breakfast in bed. There was toast, fruit, coffee and a box of chocolates. Guess which one I scoffed!! YES, you guessed right. I ate the whole Cadburys box and felt sick for the rest of the day.. But I ask you, What would you have chosen? It just kept staring at me in the face!

I feel really good that I got cracking in the studio today.. I swear my body clock is still in a different time zone. I still, after all these years tend to be a night owl. But somewhere in the world I am a morning person. haha That is what I tell myself anyway.

Well best be rolling........

Happy painting.....xx

WW2



I have been in the sudio today trying to get caught up in all my paintings.. But I seem to be going backwards rather than forwards haha.. I think I need a couple of late nights on the attack.
I am not sure where the time goes but it seems to be speeding up I swear.

This week has been the most lovley , with all the flowers looking like they might actually bud at long last. It seems as though this has been the longest of winters ever.

My daughter is studying WW2 at school We have managed to find for her to take in a remnant of german bomb, and old metal matchbox and a tiddlywinks game.

I am sure she won the show and tell this week haha.

I havent got anything funny and witty to share today.. My head is all full of turps and my belly is grumbling. SO off I dash to get myself a cuppa.

Will try and write some things this evening..
