Is not so great for the person who doesn’t really like chocolate. OK that isn’t strictly true, but I don’t like Easter egg chocolate much. I don’t even have a particularly sweet tooth. I did however treat myself to some orange chocolate. That...
But the work won’t stop for me! The kids will be off for two weeks so it will be a little bit disjointed due to various interruptions and wars etc. I am hoping my husband distracts them, but that will probably be wishful thinking. I have been juggling the two...
Today I started the first of two cat portraits I have to do. This is Jerry the cat and he is the amazing age of 19! His owner decided to commission a portrait of him for his partner as a surprise. I have to say he doesn’t look 19 does he! I have put some live...
I am starting to get rather excited for tomorrow. I am under no illusions that I will if I am lucky get more than a two second clip, but however I will be so happy if I get that or less. The documentary follows the story of the 6 finalists of Scruffts, and as I...
It is so nice to be back in the studio a bit more, it seems to have come in fits and starts the last few weeks. What with filming, Dr’s apts, snow days and birthdays! I managed to finish Arabella’s portrait. Isn’t she stunning. She is an older cat,...
So I have had a lovely few days for my birthday and I have the rugby to watch this afternoon which I am looking forward too. I hope we do better than we did against Scotland last week. France is never an easy game. Unfortunately it clashes with Scruffts so I am going ...
I am 40 today, I can’t believe it. I still feel I have a mental age of 19 and I am pretty sure physically I don’t feel anywhere near 40, maybe. Who knows. What are you supposed to feel when you have reached middle age. What I do know turning 40 is not any...
For the kids anyway, so hopefully I can get cracking. Got a lot to do now after beng behind and guess what? I am the big 40 on Thursday……really can it be true. I have been having a wobble over it for weeks now, but finally I have got to the stage where I...
Well so many artists seem to do these time lapse videos now, and after the filming for channel 4 I thought there were no more excuses for not giving it a go myself. I love a challenge so I set myself the weekend to learn. I have had great fun and here you can watch my...
So the kids had a snow day today. Not that it made much difference to them as the both have the rotten cold that I have had. Poor Leo was crying last night as his ear hurt. He does tend to get a sore ear when he has a bad cold. Both my children never sleep during the...
