July Full Mead Moon

This is the goddess Sunna - I decided to use coloursoft pencils for her face as I really struggle with shading (and drawing faces). I can work on the shading better with the pencils than acrylic paint but I suppose I will only get better if I keep trying.

Hope your week is starting off well

Gettin my moonshine on!!

When I should really be making a christening card for my god daughter next weekend and actually starting some Christmas cards!. This is June New Oak Moon - which shows you how far behind I am!!

I started out with gelatos for the base and then put a metallic acrylic paint on. I then found some bp that I liked and tore some up.

I then went over the top with more metallic paint.

I used a metallic gelly roll for the lines on the tree. The leaves were punched from some watercolour colour paper I had been playing around with gelatos on. 

The quote reads  Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world'.

I am quite pleased with how this turned out.

Hope your weekend is going well

Dog of the Week

This gorgeous girl is Millie!

Millie is a girl who needs a quiet peaceful home that can help her adjust to domestic life - she is somewhat shy when she first meets you but is fine when she gets to know you - Millie would need an owner that is prepared to give her the time and patience that she needs

Millie has not been tested with domestic dogs or cats

A Lovely Week Away

We got home yesterday from a lovely week in Down Thomas - very little was done except lazing around on the beach or patio :)

View from the patio

It was dry all week although one day was VERY windy - back home now to mountains of washing and ironing

Hope you have all had a lovely weekend

A nice day by the river :)

September Gratitude Journal

I am still continuing with my gratitude journal and here are the pages for September

I always think of September as the start of a new year - too many friends/family who are teachers I think! I had to use book pages and my pencils stamp as it seems so apt!

I love September as it means autumn is close, I love the colours, textures and bundling up that it brings. I also love halloween and bonfire night - I guess I'm just a big kid really!

Me Time Messages Week 4

Clare came up with a summer school called me time messages - I have got very behind but this is my week 4

It reads - organising is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.

It reads - organising is a journey, not a destination and one of the pictures reads - blessed are the list makers :)

Hope your week is going well
