Looking for that creative spark with my camera... in the meantime...
Thank you, Dors
A wonderfully talented artist from Australia, Dors, has a way with pencil art. She asked me recently if she could execute a drawing from one of my photos, and of course I was delighted to say yes. You can see the completed work
here on her blog (
original is on my blog here).
Out of the blue a couple of weeks ago, Dors got in touch and kindly offered to send me the artwork. It arrived yesterday and, after leaving it for the day to "rest" flat after its journey in the tube, I had a look at it for the first time this morning. It's brilliantly executed and all the texture is there from it's woolly winter coat..
Well done
Dors, and thank you so much. I'm now waiting for it choose its space on my wall :)

Keep things safe
Cute stickers to keep a little pink princess's things safe. Stick them on school books, belongings and private things in your room.
Make sure no-one touches them at the risk of having their head chopped off! They have been warned!!

Heroes of Classical Myth
The customisable quote reads:
Non illegitimi carborundum est
Do you remember this humorous mock latin phrase from a few years ago? I've suggested two other Latin quotes you can use instead. Also available as a fridge magnet
St. Patrick's Day Stein
Here's a stein featuring Spudman Paddy and a number of traditional sayings in Gaelic for Paddy's Day, celebrated all over the world by anyone who can claim some form of Irish, Gaelic or Celtic connection. For example:
Croi follain agus gob fliuch: "A healthy heart and a wet mouth!"
Click the stein for more... and you'll find a link to all the St Paddy's Day gear I've made.
Even birthday card humour!
The sheep, with its cute inquisitive face is saying:
Is it ewe that's got a Birthday today?
with an equally dreadful pun inside! hehe!! Perfect for that difficult to buy-for friend or relative, it strikes just the right tone of friendship ..and you can always act a bit sheepishly (groan) at the dreadfulness of the puns!!
