Clutter City Yuletide Weekend



 
Just a quick post to say myself and Will are going to be selling our wares at Clutter City again this month.
We'll be there on the Sunday only but it looks to be a good weekend all round so you should probably check out both days, just be sure to save some pennies for the second day ;)

A few pics from my 365 challenge over the past month. I gave up on the weekly updates seeing as this project is always the first to get pushed to the side when I have other things going on (therefore making for some boring photos) but I'm not giving up on it. Almost finished now!

Spooky City Parade

Untitled Untitled Untitled Untitled Untitled Untitled Untitled Untitled Untitled

This year was the first Spooky City parade in Norwich. We didn't dress up but went along to have a look at everyone that did (and to take lots of blurry photos that kind of work because it's spooky...). The parade started up at the castle, we joined it just below and it went through to The Forum. There were performers along the side of the route, the best of which had to be the bats. I love their big furry bellies, best bat costumes ever. Also she was making the oddest bat squeak sound which was just brilliant.
Then we came home, ate sausage and bean cassorole, lots of sweets and watched some classic Hammer Horror.
Our Halloween always lacks in trick or treaters but I don't really mind, more sweets for me :)

All Hallows' Eve Eve

Untitled Untitled Untitled Untitled Untitled Untitled

We're big fans of Halloween so obviously we had to go and see the giant pumpkin being carved in The Forum the day before.
It was so big it didn't look real. I thought it looked really soft because of how it's kind of splooged out at the bottom but obviously it's not. (carved by Ray Noakes)
Then we came home and made ghost biscuits. They may well look like they were made by children but they were in fact made by two adults that bake like children, children that bake awesome tasty ghosts.

Zine ~ The Chapess

The Chapess The Chapess The Chapess The Chapess

A few months ago I was asked if I wanted to contribute an illustration to the next issue of The Chapess and I obviously said yes. The theme was inspirational women and it's turned out great. I got my copy last week and it's so good, such a great mix of contributors and subjects. It's available in Zara Gardners Etsy here, I recommend it.
