Nothing ever goes to plan!
I woke today all pumped up and ready to start the final, hand painted, artwork for my new book. I planned to share a quick post of where this is all up to, when I discovered that my blog had been bombarded with random comments - IN CHINESE! Just when you start to get comfortable with the whole computer world something always seems to bring you down a peg or two.
So I have spent the entire morning checking through my backlog of posts to delete the random spam comments. (I think/hope I got them all!)
It turned out to be a walk down memory lane! I guess that's the amazing thing about blogging. I've never really bothered to check back through my own posts, (I mean why would you?!)but it really is a bit like journal reading.
I feel that my blog has changed a lot since returning to full time work, and I need to make more time for it - I forgot how much I enjoy it!
So here's a few things from previous posts that I hope to get back to sharing in future posts:
ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY: what a great way to get an inspirational break away from current projects)...here's a few topics I had particular fun with:
STITCH
CLANDESTINE
SEED
INSPIRATION MONDAYS: I miss this! I have continued to collect things to share with you (and have at least a years worth backed up to get into a format to share with you!)
...Life Drawing....I intended to get back to regular classes this year, but it just didn't happen - if I can find some local classes it might give me a chance to meet some people in the area, as we still don't really know anyone here!
DESIGN PROCESSES: you know - sharing the processes I go through in various projects....I have been documenting the processes of my current new books to share with you once they get into publication. I have always found that sort of thing interesting in other peoples blogs. This post was an exceptionally long version of what I mean!
...writing....goes without saying really, but it's still on the cards....more house stuff - I need to bring some colour and craft into this house!
...never a dull moment, hey?!

Happy belated Birthday to you!
Your country house is amazing! Truly amazing. I cannot believe you drive two and a half hours to work. I certainly hope it is a job that is very fulfilling!
You are very talented and I always love stopping by your blog!
thanks so much for stopping by on my neglected blog :-) and thanks for your sweet wishes! Your illustrations are amazing, love them :-) best to you too!
Fantastic artwork! I haven't seen most of these Illustration Friday pieces before, but I love them and look forward to seeing more.
And about those Chinese comments? Sorry about that. I'll use English next time. (Just kidding)
