For the first time I failed to do 2 blogs in a week last week, unless you count reblogging! I do have a good excuse, a customer wanted a pet portrait but she needed it by the end of the week, which gave me 3 days. This was achieved just, I was baking the glass …
The weekend didn’t start well with the village fair being cancelled. I was looking forward to it but the fields were too soggy! So in light of my positive blog on rain, I’ve been busy creating 2 new products. The first are sun catchers because we might get some sun one day! I decided to …
Feeling very pleased with myself, I’ve completed my tax return on-line, phew! Took longer than planned of course. First of all it said I already had an account, it turns out I did register in 2008 but for what I have no idea! This meant I had to apply for a new ID number and …

I wasn’t sure I’d write a blog today, having been concentrating on the mundane admin tasks. Didn’t think reading about book-keeping, tax returns and printing business cards would be too exciting! However I’ve just had a lightbulb moment. I have some old drinking glasses that are cloudy and definitely past their best and today bought …
So much for flaming June. I went to Exmouth beach today, a slight detour from delivering a dog portrait, well any excuse! The beach was deserted, the wind blowing a gale, forboding clouds and I’ve seen it busier in winter. I think everyone was hibernating after getting soaked yesterday. On the plus side the water …
Good advice here for all you artistic people.
This weeks theme is sunflowers, inspired by a commission and the fact that I’ve grown some from seed. Last year I had a monster sunflower: As you can imagine this produced a lot of seed. Some went to the birds and I planted a few seeds but to my dismay 3 of the young plants …
Love these BT boxes, such a great idea.
