I'm back here....

Greetings from Fryup dale!!

I've decided to return to this old blog, I've renamed it but its still me.  Quick reasons if you're interested and thats because the blog on my website can not be transferred so I've decided to carry on my blog here so the content is keepable! (not even a word)

Well since I last posted on here a lot has happened.

1. I'm now a full time artist // illustrator - Slightly scary realisation.

2.  I do more than just wax!

3. I'm now a P.A (I can explain)

4. I'm a very keen cyclist

5. I've just done my first show in London in twelve years.

6. I've been married 6 years.

7.  I have an amazing studio.

8.  I've travelled to American (a big dream)

9.  My niece is twelve.

10.  Our internet is still pants but we're working on it.

So a lot has happened but some things never change.  I'm still a tea junkie and still loving my little family of animos.

Image above is for sale in an Etsy shop, I found it via Pinterest.

A Gaslight anthem lyric that I love and such a great moto.

My next post will be about the Kirstie Allsopp Handmade Fair I did last weekend at Hampton Court.

Well after been absent from my blog for what seems like a very long time! I've had ear infection after ear infection :( but hopefully this week will see the end of them or so I'm hoping!
Open Studios went really well. A massize thanks to everyone who came and I responce was great. Sold quite a few pieces! Which is always a bonus!

I have made some wax brooches which are great, if i do say so myself! So heres to keeping my blog up todate and good health!! lol

New mugs

New mugs long awaited 2 different designs??

Both designs are based on the birdcage design.

I have them on the not mass produced site. They look great.

New design for my Mug!! what do you think?

I've been busy trying to design my image for a mug! I love the picture above so I'm hoping that this will work and the colours will come up well. Fingers crossed! I haven't mentioned but I have been asked to illustrate a childrens book, which will be so exciting got a few frames done now so I cant wait to show the author! The other good news is I've been asked to join 'not mass produced' so fingers crossed I'm hoping its going to be successful for me. All this happened within a few days last week! good times. www.notmassproduced.com

Yesterday me, phil and friends Emma and Nick headed for Castleford to xscape. http://www.xscape.co.uk/snow/castleford/ We had two lessons for snowboarding, so to day as you can imagine my legs are killing. I think I am inproving and we all enjoyed ourselves, then we headed for a well deserved hour or two in Ikea! I bought some shelf brackets for my workshop so I'm looking forward to getting those up, make the place look a bit more like home.

Snow is here again!!

Snow here again in fryup dale, so no going to the studio today. a lazy sunday afternoon.  May get some cleaning and tidying up done, I've been looking at it for sometime.  Gutted for the GB bobsleigh team.  Did you see the ice burns?  Painful.

Just been out on to the moor with husband and our two dogs, walked for over two hours.  They are now laying infront of the stove, both producing zzzzzzz's. (even phil)  

I have been asked to illustrate a childrens book so I'm really excited about that, so may spend the afternoon designing the characters.  

To the right an unfinished piece birds in a tree cant wait to get back to staithes to finish it.
