Howdy folks how have you all been? Well I’ve not really been blogging lately as we’ve just moved a couple of weeks ago meaning no Internet. Bloody heck it’s been ages since I’ve updated well anything.  I’ve been busy updating my Etsy shop making new things and trying to actually make money from it…..

Yesterday I met up with the peeps from S1 Magazine and did a small interview with them in Nando’s. YES!!! They came all the way from Sheffield to see me which I have to say thanks guys! I’ll update you with more of that later on.

Meanwhile I took part in the lovely illustration swap organised by the super talented Natasha Thompson and my pretty pink package was ace! (See the pictures above.) She sent me some nice vintage paper and some Clipper tea along with other gems. You can take part in it by heading over to her blog and signing up for it here. Thanks Natasha!

Have a super duper fun weekend!!

I’ve been a bit busy lately so not had much time to blog. This is an illustration for Haus Stories a project set up by the lovely Sandra Deickmann. I really enjoyed this as a lot of the elements are from my own photos and collections of ceramic animals. And it’s more of a personal insight too, I love kitsch objects, bright coloured shoes and tiny dogs of course. I wanted it to be surreal/ dreamy as I do actually day dream alot haha

I hope Sandra likes it 🙂

Oh I wish the summer would last, like, forever. This is the only time when I actually enjoy being in England, then the rest of the time I’m moaning about the weather being too cold, too much rain and so on!

An update about our housing situation: the ceiling in my studio is starting to fall off. Yes I’m not joking. Just recently the ceiling is starting to dip and loads of dust is starting to fall onto my iMac. The funniest thing is that he has wallpaper edthe ceiling and with his crap DIY skills plastered the ceiling so badly it’s starting to crumble. So the builder is coming round this afternoon to sort it out. Meaning I’ve spent most of last night and this morning clearing out my rubbish and moving everything into the living room and kitchen…. *sigh*  Anybody has a landlord from hell story to share feel free. I have great sympathy for people who are in my situation, my landlord is constantly angry whenever we want something fixed and obviously the flat isn’t in the best condition to rent out because the walls and ceilings are starting to crack.

Enough about that! (Makes me ANGRY thinking about it.)

I have a new blog which you can follow over at Blogspot/Blogger/whatever as I’ve decided to keep my artwork and shop separate.

Hope you all have a better afternoon than me 🙁
