Today, I am 25 days sober. Its been a good day. I feel good. Mondays are art club days and I absolutely love that club. Being social with other artists and crafters. I love the lady who runs it. I’ve known her for about seventeen years and she used to teach my girls art at a wonderful club she ran way back then when my … Continue reading Sobriety and Gratitude.

The list is seemingly infinite! Simply type in the name of an animal, insect, etc and pages upon pages of images will come up. Have a look for yourself, if you’re interested. https://wildlifereferencephotos.com … Continue reading Lion Portrait in Pastels

If you’re interested in purchasing one … Continue reading Baby Headbands
I love autumn. Settling into the colder months with warm knits, snuggles up with a bowl of soup, or out walking amongst the visual display of those incredible colours. The term Knitting for Mental Health is really a thing. It’s helping me, that’s for sure. I have two craft fayres coming up next month and so I’ve been knitting like mad. Hopefully I’ll have enough … Continue reading Autumn, Knits & Mental Health

However, whilst I was driving through the county of Hampshire and never one to shy away from adventure, as soon as I saw a road sign for The New Forest, I got straight on it! After all, isn’t that … Continue reading Kicked by a New Forest Pony!
If there was one thing I learned from my road trip in March, it was that my van desperately needed insulating! I was a fool to sleep in it then, but I needed to visit my dear old mum in her care home. First, I brought some insulating board from Wickes which was then cut to size. All I had was a piece of ply … Continue reading Insulating my Campervan.
We have a beautiful little, long haired, Pomchi ( Chihuahua and Pomeranian mix), named Pixie. She’s absolutely adorable, Such a sweet natured, friendly and cuddly dog. Normally around this time of the year, mid spring, she would head off to the local groomers to get her hair cut. It’s a win, win for everyone. Our clothes are no longer covered in her hair, and she … Continue reading Homemade Natural Flea Repellent
