It's once again been rather a long time since I've said or done anything on here, but I have finally made something which I can upload pictures of! A little angel, and just in time for Christmas too.
I'm pretty pleased with her seeing as it's been over a year since I last made anything. I expect it will be an even longer while before I get round to making anything else as with this one I had to wait until Lainey was napping and then work like a demon, but Lainey is napping less and less as she gets older and I'll be back to work in March too so I don't suppose there'll be much time for making things.
Oh well.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

It's been a pretty long time since I uploaded anything or even wrote anything. I've been a little busy giving birth to my greatest piece of art yet- my gorgeous baby daughter Lelaina. She's nearly a month old already (time really does fly)
Obviously all my time lately is taken up with looking after her so I don't imagine there'll be many deviations I'll be making for the foreseeable future. Oh well- I think she was worth it!

Just a weeny quick update, just to prove I'm still around, despite not producing anything in terms of artwork, and hardly ever remembering to log on and check what's happening on here.
I am now 26 weeks pregnant- all has gone well so far and it looks like we're having a girl- though I've been warned that mistakes can be easily made, and not to be too surprised if the expected baby girl comes out with unexpected anatomy!!!
Like I said- I've not produced any real artwork, though I have been sewing little felt bunny rabbits onto corduroy patches to go on the nursery curtains. I may or may not add them to my scraps at a later date.
That's about it really. Don't suppose I'll be on here much from this point on, unless I happen to have a very well behaved baby who lets me get some free-time when I'm on maternity leave!

Well, it's been a while since I put on any new work or updated anything. I've just uploaded a pretty rough, not very well lit version of a piece that I'd started working on some time ago and then sort of didn't finish.
The model was all complete and ready to photograph back in about October or November time. I then took a week off work so I could concentrate on taking the pictures and getting everything to look right. Well- first of all the floor I'd painstakingly made was a parquet effect affair, all in natural wood colours which looked very nice, until I photographed it, and then it just drowned the whole piece out. So then I painted it white and tried again, but then it was too stark. So finally I tried digitally adding a purple tone to it, which wasn't great but worked okay. At this point I still wasn't happy with my lighting, so I tried to go back and take some more pictures- but for some reason I just could not for the life of me get into it at all! I was just feeling really lethargic, and slightly sick. I thought this was probably just a side effect of being in the house too long and not going out for any air, but going out didn't seem to help either.
Anyway, my mum came round one day for lunch and told me I looked pale and asked me how I was feeling, I told her I felt a bit sickly, to which she gave a knowing smile and asked if I'd thought about taking a pregnancy test. Me and my husband had started trying for a baby a little while earlier, but I couldn't believe I could be lucky enough to get pregnant that fast. Anyway I took a test (well- two actually cos I didn't believe the first one) and low and behold- mystery solved and mother knows best!
So- that was about 10 weeks ago, I'm now 16 weeks pregnant and haven't done a scrap of artwork this whole time!

Oh yes- more 's' titles...might make a habit of it!

Just a quick entry to say Merry Christmas to all.
I've not been around an awful lot lately- I do have an excuse, a good one, not like my usual pathetically poor ones, but more about that in the New Year.
Anyway- hope you all have a good one, and see you all in 2008!
