If you go down to the woods today...

 My girls have been begging me to draw some fairies - and this is the result! I took these photos in Kew Gardens using the Hipstamatic App. However I am going to look into some pin-hole photography soon as I think that will give a much better result for my fairies...

Book near completion

It has been a busy time. I am trying to get my posters all finished and ready for print. I'm buying frames (most of which got broken en-route first time around). I have also finished book 3 - which feels like my best yet. Now I need to find an agent. 

Babies on the brain

I have been working on greeting card ideas. Here are some baby 'congratulation' card sketches and ideas. I welcome comments, thoughts and ideas!

Darling...

Having fun with my Photoplay magazine cut outs.

My companion while I work

I cannot get enough of Ruby Ruth Dolls. This doll is called 'Ruby'. Matilda and Georgia adore her. Ruby asked me to paint her portrait - which I obliged. The least I could do as she such a good friend.

Ruby and her portrait

Ruby's portrait

Look who I found eating the macaroons!!!

I opened up the dolls house this morning and found a strange little mouse trying to steal the macaroons.
He did say sorry however, so I said he could stay...

Gift Wrapping - Pirate Style

I had fun with Matilda yesterday - wrapping her cousins birthday presents which happened to be a Pirate Costume! We used old fabric samples, twine, clothes pegs and my favourite 'Sharpie Pens'!

"Darling - you must come closer to get a good shot"

 "Like this? Does this look good?" 

 "I had braces when I was younger - it definitely helped Darling" 

"That is SO funny - stop it you are making me laugh.." 

Tatiana

Tatiana dreamed of getting away from it all. The summer was hot and it was time to clean out all of the old memories...

Magic in Ireland

Baby series

I did these a while ago - they were a series of cards for new arrivals. I think it is because I have babies on the brain I am only uploading them now!
