out and about

today, London was cold but sunny and i was out and about most of the day enjoying the sunlight and buying little bits and bobs for my new sewing machine. yes, you read it right, i'm starting to sew :) so exciting! i'm still getting acquainted with my machine and have no idea how well i'm going to get on with accomplishing the projects i have in mind. oh boy, i do love the feeling of playing with a different medium. i'll show you some results of this new adventure soon. for now, have a lovely weekend!

time to create

i've had the busiest couple of weeks with very little time to create. i even meant to post yesterday but i got back from work so tired that i crashed out in the couch :::: now that i've had the nicest night sleep and a relaxing morning tidying up the workplace, it's time to make a proper start +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
i'm planning to open my webshop pretty soon and i'd welcome and appreciate any suggestions as to what prints / stuff i make/ etc you would like to see there. thanks in advance :)

in and out

a quick hello from me :) it's been a lovely day over here with little bits of sunshine coming through the window. it's getting colder but i did spend a half an hour break in the garden enjoying the views, blue sky and our last rose. winter is definitely coming... the last picture is for Ana :)
i hope you're all having a good week too!

lots of chickens




drawing those chickens has been my best antidote to stress in the last couple of weeks and they're multiplying by the day. will i get to make a 100? i was wondering... they should make a nice pattern too when i finally decide their destiny :)

lists

monday is here, very busy already and i'm having to catch up on quite a few things that have accumulated from the past few weeks. i've managed to make a list of what i consider achievable 'to do's' for this week. hopefully i'll be able to tick most of the lines off... do you have a tip for making/ managing lists? i'm just not very good at it. my hyperactive head is often wandering off.
image list above is from pictures from the last couple of weeks. tomorrow i'll show you some chickens :)
