30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 8 + 9

Day 8 - Your fav animated character - Ariel from the Little Mermaid.

Its rather ironic though that although she is my fav character I actually hate water. Dont panic I do wash its mainly swimming pools and the sea that scares me.

Day 9 - Fav TV Show

I decided to give myself a break from it today as when I thought of fav programmmes a) I couldnt think of a stand out one and b) I couldnt think of anything to draw. Im probably giving up to easy on this one but tbh I dont watch that much TV anymore. I tend to fill my evenings crafting and catching up on chores... oh and the dreaded Facebook. So here is a quick sketch of an idea I had years ago to turn an old tv into a fish tank lol

Decoupage Bangles

I made these lovelies using thrifty, cosmetically damaged bangles and decided to cover them in paper. I really like the shell like texture that's developed. They will be available in my folksy store soon...

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 7

Still a day late but what the hey!

Day 7 - Favourite film

It defo has to be Lost Boys everything from the music, costume, scenery to the oh so sexy vampires. It was probably when I realised my mind is not quite all there when I concluded that I would be nothing in life if I wasnt a vampire lol

Soz Kieffer for the terrible piccy eeek!

Flea Market Thrifting...

You just cant beat it! Although I have to admit this is just the tip of the iceberg. I am finding bits for my wedding so have plates, cups and serving platters stuffed in every corner!


I just love the teddy mould and i'm totally clueless on what to use the fabric for, it feels like soft baby bed sheets so something snuggly maybe???

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 6

A day late again. My excuse this time blimmin wedding invitations!

I kept arguing with myself with which book... To Kill a Mockingbird, Labyrinth, Any Karin Slaughter... so I choose my fav mag instead lol
