Popeye...

Currently on the drawing board - I had forgotten how labour intensive using just pencil is....

Bee Nice...

This felt brooch has been waiting for it's knitted bee for weeks and weeks - it had to get pushed to the back burner due to other more pressing work.  It's done now and will be winging it's way to Boston!

Grazer & Her Cubs...

Watercolour on paper.

I Will Not Lie...

 ...this caused me an awful lot of problems!  Someone got in touch saying they had bought what they thought was a crochet toy off Amazon but in fact was a kit with the instructions in Japanese, could I help?

 "Yeah, sure!" I said, thinking it would be like all the other amigurumi creatures I have made from Japanese patterns.  Famous last words...

 There were a lot of colours and two different instructions for two different versions and I had not a clue where to start.  Luckily, my son taught himself some rudimentary Japanese a few years back and was able to help.

But the pattern was still not as clear as others I have worked from, so I had to wing it a bit in places.  Hopefully the small boy this was made for will not notice...

Jammin...

Might have gone a little over the top with the raspberry picking on Sunday...  Nine jars of jam made yesterday and another large punnet of raspberries still in the fridge....

Sweet little dog, fun to draw!  Next up - more bears!

Paintings & Picking...

 A lady that bought one of my paintings and two prints sent me a photo of them framed and on her wall - I love it when people do that!  Don't they look great?

I have one white currant bush in a pot in the garden - yesterday I picked 3lbs of currants off it!  This must be a record yield - time to make currant jelly!
