a little artist girl

I have spent days in my art journal, with inked fingers, oohing and ahhing over my new pens, colour, paint all of it so familiar and yet so untouched for so long.

a little bit of my history in my present.

something small and filled with love, to make my husband feel special. A mini book with tags and photos pockets and secrets......

and a little xmas cheer, not my work but they sure did inspire me to start making my Christmas cards this year.

enjoy the evening, and pick up your current projects and create until you have left this world!

a little mixture of collage, my own drawing and painting. These pages have become a huge source of passion for me. I've missed this more than I can ever express.

Im off to sleep soundly in my bed for the night

There are days when my soul is completely drenched in dye where I cant be anyone else but a hand dyer. I am a colour palette daydreamer and this is my soul when I close my eyes.

Shop update...there will be a store stocking in the next few days, and these knitters balms will be released in the next 3 weeks...Im just getting them tested by three beautiful full time knitters. They are all natural and smell and feel amazing.

sorry for the lateness of my little blog update I've had my hands tainted with dyes for several days.

The day my little boo came into the world was not the day I was expecting, I was phoned up and asked to come in to try an epidural, I was scared and excited all at the same time, if all went well, I would have my little girl at the end of it. After 26 attempts to get the needle in my back, there was sucess. At 6:40 pm on the 5th of September 2008 Lily Mai Brook was born, and she has been an absolute joy to have for the past year. Happy Birthday my little boo.
