Lotta, Pony girl and Patricia.

finally I have a few moments on this mother's day to catch up on my very long list of things to do. I'm enjoying my day by the way. Lovely little presents received. Breakfast in bed, followed by tickles with both the kiddies. I can't escape the washing that is heaped up in piles everywhere and I don't trust anyone else in the household to do it!

So before the little munchkins come home from their bike rides in the park with Mr N, I will get back to the list.

Now available in the shop are 3 original paper dolls, Lotta, Pony girl and Patricia.

on my desk

have joined 'on my desk this wednesday' as seen through a few blogs and I think it might have started here.(?)

I love this work day. I am always so eager to take the kids to school/daycare and hide myself in the studio.

I'm working on new artwork. Some of which is for an up and coming exhibition in May in Adelaide.  Apart from that, not a lot to say, just boringly busy, so I will get back to it!

paper dolls on a slow sunday

What I thought was a bit of jet-lag I think is actually a virus. This week has seen me in bed most nights around 7.30pm. Last night I made it to 9.20pm (Saturday party girl that I am). Miss M, who actually is a party girl, was playing quietly in her room, and became a little miffed to discover that everyone had gone to sleep before her. So she came in to tuck both Mr N and I in bed. She is frustrating and funny at the same time.

It has been a slow day, but whilst the kids were at the park this morning kicking around a ball, I did manage to start some new illustrations.

shoes and kokeshi dolls

As promised I am updating my shop and will have new works available from Monday night Jan 21st. Brisbane, Australian Timezone.  Meanwhile you can see them over on my flickr page.

I also have a new free wallpaper called "Suki says". Look at the top of the screen to your right.

chocolate coins can wait

True to my word, i'm posting everyday this month. Well it is only the 3rd day. Lets see how things go tomorrow. Today's advent offered a small chocolate coin. Miss M gobbled it down in an instant. Mr A's is still sitting on the bench. He woke with a fever and just couldn't even manage breakfast or lunch today.

In a nutshell, there is more sickness in the house, more visits to the doctor, more work that is piling on my desk, more ideas tapping in my head and more muscles aching in my body after I decided to start jogging with the babysitter. Here is some recent work going to Cherry Blossom, here in Brisbane. Yes, I have started selling locally. Something I wasn't going to pursue until next year when I had more time, but as it turned out, sometimes these things just happen when they are supposed to.
