Sun and sand...



Well I have been super busy as of late. Mostly enjoying the lovely weather and pottering about finishing a few commissions. I Have my garden open again this year for the local Gardens and Arts. I have to say I have been somewhat rather slack on the garden front. HAHA. But it looks lovely still. The wisteria on the front of the house is in full bloom and looks breathtaking. Even the Clematis and roses are starting too. I have had my brother and his girlfriend over from Canada for a visit. It has been great seeing the UK through their eyes. You realise you take a lot of things for granted really. I took them to the local beach and we sat there and all got burnt, as you do.. I curse my factor 50 for not getting itself perfectly even on my body.. haha. We have had some great barbeque's as well, just hope this weather lasts a bit longer!

On another note, I am painting another Stag. I also have a few more cockerels to complete and my bluebell woods. I suppose I had better get cracking really as I only have three more weeks. But who can turn down such lovely weather?

Eye Bogies


Right I have to ask this, how long is the right time to leave before you tell someone they have eye bogies? Now if it is a good friend, I of course will tell them almost immediately. But what if I myself dont notice right away, then half way through the conversation it dawns on me they are there in their full glory. I cant tell them now or they will think I have been staring at them the whole time so will feel like a tit. I mean how many times have you come home and looked in the mirror to half your lunch around your chops? Bearing in mind you have been to the bank, shops and school and not one single person told you about it! haha It reminds me of the time when I walked my daughter to school. You see I use a tumble dryer rather than hang things out on a line to dry. Mainly because I have hay fever and am a lazy cow. Anyway, I had washed and dried this particular load of blacks. I pull out my cardigan in quick fashion as I was late to get to the school. I suddenly have this tap on my shoulder and its my neighbour telling me she could see something swinging behind me all the way to school. I of course was now in the playground in full view of everyone. On my back swinging was my black lacy bra! hooked on my cardi! haha see what I mean..

Anyway not to change subject but, I have finished a lovely poppy fields painting and started my online shop live finally. I am pleased so far at what there is on offer and hope to get a few more things up as soon as possible. I too have ordered a few bits. Having my image on a watch is pretty cool and I am chuffed to bits about it. Tell all your friends!
