Hello blogland! How I've missed you!

Hey folks how are you? I've missed blogging and reading all of yours, and hearing from you all of course! I am busy with work and my two part time courses. Yes thats right I'm now doing 2 part time courses! I enrolled last week on a level 2 Diploma in Horse care, I'm doing 2 evenings a week after work. I'm really excited as I have always wanted to qualify as a riding instructor and now it could be in my future. :-)

Today I started working on my Christmas card designs, it was SO much fun to be drawing again. I've finished one design that I wanted to share with you now and I'll post more this week. I want to have them designed, printed and packaged by the end of this week for my Etsy shop and the 'Chrstmas at the barn' craft market that I'm selling at, in Frome on the 26th/27th of November.

I will post more designs very soon, until then  xox

ps: Sorry for the early Xmas chatter !

I made the front page of Etsy this morning!

Hey all I couldn't believe my eyes when I went to Etsy today, my new camera print the Zeiss Ikon Contessa was on the front page! It was surrounded by lots of other lovely items too, here is a screen shot:

I do love this print, you can view it here in my shop. Have a great day all!

Illustration Friday 'Journey'

Hi all, my entry for this weeks Illustration Friday for the word 'Journey'

The idea came from a conversation I had with a friend yesterday about careers, we were talking about how we had thought that if we went did well at school, went to college, then to university that we would be on our way to a well paid and fulfilling careers by now. And I guess we both are, sort of at that point except we are now trying to decide if we should do further training, an MA maybe, to get where we want to be. That then throws up the questions like: How can we afford that? Do we still want what we wanted back when we chose our university courses? Will we get a job at the end of it all anyway?

So basically life isn't as simple as A, B & then comes C..Sometimes there's a whole lot of stuff in between the start point and your goal. A bit serious maybe but that's what inspired this illo!!

I hope your all well and enjoying your weekends, I have people over for dinner later, and I'm looking forward to tackling a new recipe, cheerio for now  :-)
