remember, remember...

...don't eat too many chocolates or you won't eat your dinner...

i thought you'd might like to see some family pics of our little 'do' last night...(well, you might not, but my brother paul occasionally reads this, so there's at least one person interested ;) top photo is of my two nieces molly and anna and the fella with his hand in the choc tin is my frank. and below that, a rare pic of yours truly with arth who looks like he's trying to ingest his anorak. do you like my pink coat? i bought it on a sweltering day a week ago in portugal, along with some winter jumpers. it was a very strange experience, but i'm so pleased with my coat, even if it's an a-line swingy style...i'm just waiting for someone to say: "i didn't know you were expecting another! when are you due?"

update

i was planning on sharing two new sketches up in my shop, but the blue one has already sold. i thought i'd post it anyway because i like it. it's called 'hello bluebird' and he'll be winging (geddit?) his way over the sea to reside in canada tomorrow morning. the second one is called 'foundations' and has a retro vibe thanks to the groovy brown and yellow vintage wallpaper found in a charity shop.

packages...

it's been a bit quiet on the blog front because i'm frantically making orders for door plaques for not on the high street. they are now all packaged up (done whilst cooking last night's dinner, i'm getting good at multi-tasking, but then, i am a woman) and ready to be enjoyed by the recipients. i hope. i never stop worrying that people will hate what i've done, or i'll have made an obvious spelling mistake...actually i'm going to stop worrying now, otherwise i'll be ripping open all these packets to check. off to stop obsessing, and for some breakfast. happy saturday chaps, i've got a lovely day of making...the kids are off making a bonfire for tomorrow night's farm firework display. woohoo. (frank doesn't want a guy, i think he's a little freaked out by the idea of putting a 'person' to burn on the bonfire...actually, i see his point ;)
