December

December is such an odd month. All the hard work and extra craziness getting ready for Christmas seems so far away once Christmas starts and now that the first week of the year has happened it seems like even Christmas and New Year happened ages ago too.
December was good though, I was lucky to have to work so hard (so hard that my wrist gave up on crochet for a while, oops) and Christmas was a really good break from the work. It was really nice to have a massive sit down and eat and play games.

I also now have a mighty fine pile of presents to enjoy, including a pretty impressive book pile that I can't wait to dive into.

What My Phone Saw ~ December

Making huggers way back before Christmas // Playing Lego after Clutter City



Father Christmas on our tree // Sunset



Our wreath // I had a go at making lebkuchen



If you've never used sweet wrappers as filters, try it. It's really fun // Me and my new hat

Happy 2015!

Happy New Year from Will and me. Hope it's treating you well so far ^_^

Last Minute Christmas Shop Update

Sandra the paint by numbers fan.

I've had one last quick shop update before Christmas including a few brand new things as you can see. I'll be staying open over Christmas and New Year but if you need something to arrive by Christmas (in the UK) the last day I'll definitely be posting is Friday 19th which means you'd need to order by about 9.30 Friday morning for it to come into the city with me.

Dorothy the occasional fizzy pop drinker.

Huggers

And, as ever, here is a link to my Etsy and Folksy shops.

November

Norwich gives good advice / Ready to be posted



We decided to take some new photos for our Clutter City application.

 

Never gets old / The last of the Halloween sweets



Will got a year older.

 


He also did some huge drawings / Notes for orders



I took some photos of Will's crap leg so he could start sharing stuff on his new facebook. (You can go follow him here.) This is all work he has done and that is his own leg. I hope you're suitably impressed.

 

Coffee drawing time on Will's birthday / Legless llamacorn
 

I don't normally mix dslr and mobile photos in posts but I didn't have enough of either for separate posts, November was a complete mixed bag that I won't bore you with and not much photo taking was done. The worst is over now (so long as nothing else goes wrong), just the Christmas rush to get through which is equal parts stress and awesome. I'm counting down the days till I can just have a sit down and play scrabble ^_^

Clutter City Yuletide Market

The Christmas Clutter City is this Saturday (6th Dec) and I'll be there with Will selling our fancy wares along with about 30 other awesome arty types so do come along if you're in the area and/or be lovely and share the event page on facebook.

Now back to frantic stock making ^_^

Illustration ~ Self Portrait

This is me. Hi.
I've done myself a painting to use everywhere I need some sort of icon/profile photo type thing. I also utilised my limited knowledge of digital colouring to do the orange background without completely losing the texture of the watercolour paper. Yay opacity settings!
Now to remember everywhere it needs uploading...
In other news I typed most of this without looking at the keyboard which I didn't know I could do. All those years of not going out and lurking online have finally paid off.
