This week I’ve moved on from dogs to birds. If you read my post last year on seagulls you’ll know how they have annoyed me! Well it seems they are eyeing up my chimney breast and I am determined that they will not nest there again this year. Obviously I don’t want to harm the …
My latest painting is a ginger cat on a glass mug and I added the goldfish bowl for a bit of character! Hope you like him. Trying to get the colour ginger was quite difficult, I used orange, white and a spot of brown in the end. However having looked at other people’s work ginger …
My Robin christmas decoration/sun catchers have literally been flying out of my house, which is great news. I’ve sold them on Folksy, in Quay Presents shop and on craft stalls. Shame I don’t get any real ones in my garden! It made me realise that I currently have a collection of birds for sale. As …
Friday already, where does the time go? Well I am now in possession of a new mobile camera phone. I was brave and ordered a 2nd hand Nokia N8 from ebay! This was my first attempt at bidding and with trial and error and a few failed bids, I eventually won an auction. The purchase …

Firstly I’m sorry I didn’t get round to writing a post on Friday but my exciting news is that my glassware will be available to buy in Quay Presents, down on the Quay in Exeter, very soon. I’m so pleased to have found another outlet quite quickly after Exetra closed. My space in the shop …
I continued to do two mini markets a month and with the run up to Christmas increased my sales month on month. With this boost in confidence I got into my first shop. It actually happened in a spontaneous, unplanned way. I went into an independent shop that sold handmade glass coasters and enquired if …
I’ve always been artistic and at school would do great drawings, which I then managed to ruin when painted!
