Busy being creative...

I am ashamed to admit to myself how long it has been since my last blog post! I am in the middle of lots and lots of projects so will soon have some work to share with you:) In the mean time here is a photo I took this morning; may your day be magical...

Birds

My latest piece of doodling! I started with the idea that I wanted to draw a bird as I have never attempted this before and ended up with an entire rainbow of them! The text is an old chinese proverb, which I love very much.

Beautiful Bloggers

On a rather stormy and challenging day this week I found this award waiting for me, given by a most inspiring writer/artist/all round fantastic blogger friend Lis. Thank you so much Lis, for this award means a lot to me, I feel touched and honored that you judge my website to be beautiful, I have a huge respect for everything you write and create on your blog; you are a wise and wonderful lady :)

Share seven (7) things about yourself.

Seven things about myself (I’ve tried to think of less obvious thoughts so that you may learn something new about me) :

1.I would love to time warp back to the twenties and immerse myself in the fashions, the music, the energy and the politics, the art, the literature; it all really fascinates me.
2. I am chasing the dream of turning my creativity into a flourishing business.
3. I could live as a hermit in a lighthouse and feel quite content.
4. I have conversations with my cats.
5. I am a bit of a secret murder mystery lover ( although moreso of the cosy mystery where all is well in the world despite the death involved!).
6. I have a bit of thing about stationary; some people might describe it as an addiction.
7. I have a cuddly toy tortoise, given to me when I was born, which still lives in my bedroom and travels with me for luck and that special care that only she( Mimi) can give. Thus, I am proud to say that a part of me will never grow up!
