Something Magical

This photo is always going to bring a lump to my throat, no matter how many times i have already looked at it, I have glassed over.

Eli was meant to be born around the 4th of November but decided that he was going to say hello to the world on the 10th of August.

Due to being so early, he was rushed into a NICU cot as soon as he was born and so the picture above is Jade and Eli having there first ever cuddle together, 8 days after of his birth.

Hes our first grandchild and we are so proud of both of them and just had to share this with you.

Blast from the past!

I thought I would pop up one of my sketches.....cant quite believe the date........well they say time flys but...............June 08!!!


This witch was inspired from a mix of burlesque and a TV series called Bewitched. I remember trying to wiggle and twitch my nose like Sam but I never could manage it :O)
I don't often sketch ideas out for my figures and its not often they end up the same.......mind you, the sketches arent exactly how I see them in my head either.........so I guess they just evolve in their own way as I go along.
I enjoy just going with the flow and even though you have the essence of the idea there....................you don't always know what your going to find at the end.

A nice Suprise

Thank you Jain giddykipper
Name 7 things about yourself that nobody knows
1) looked like a Sweeney Todd extra upon a time, white streak included.
2) Danced for the queen as a child
3) Don't like to be alone in the dark.........I know..... not a very brave....lol!
4) Hate the noise polystyrene packing makes!
5) Adore lightning storms
6) The mad cat women in training...with a few rabbits and other beasties to make life interesting
7) Love everything about the Autumn
Again thank you so much Jain, i have had a strange few months so was lovely surprise to find this waiting for me in blog land.
Lots of wonderful blogs to choose from...but i would like to pass this along to:

Bald elves

Thought i would post these chaps up............its been ages since i last made something. Not the most festive of colours but felt that all that sneaking around trying to gather treats for their winter stash.......muted colours would suit their needs best :O)

Have had these two waiting to be finished for awhile now and now that its cooler and with Christmas around the corner.......... I may well just give them a colourful candy cane or woolly hat and scarf ??????

Mind....I think what with the winter chills........I think its time I at least pop some hair on these two!

Mini monsters

All finished.......

I had a lot of fun with these although large Lily was my third attempt and im not all that happy with her, although I do like the others.

Unfortunatly the first Lily I made too big and the second got burnt in the oven. I think I should have maybe stepped away......but its all part of the learning curve.

Talking of learning ...Hermans jacket was the first mens/monsters I have made and is removable too! So I was chuffed about that and although I can see faults with it, the experience has taught me a lot.

When it came to mini 24th hermans jacket I was able to make his with a bit more ease and again its removable.
