Ok. Relax. Breath. So I am working pretty hard here to write this post! I have a little munchkin who has just started crawling/bunny hopping and it is none stop! If she isn't kicking at the library ladder, crumpling my beautiful cartridge paper, chewing on Daddy's computer cables, eating my favourite recipe; she is trying to get at my ornaments, find the stairs or empty the waste paper basket.
At the top of my 'To Do List' this week is 1. Baby proof the home.  But not everything can be baby proof.

I am lucky that my little munchie-face sleeps at night but the pay off is (and I know I wouldn't want it the other way round) is that she doesn't sleep much during the day. This makes getting any work done very hard. I just need an extra hour in the morning and an hour in the arvo to work without feeling like I'm neglecting her.

So for all you Mummys working from home out there - any suggestions of how to occupy a 6 month old, so you can get a little work done? I am very interested to hear what the rest of you do :D

Signing off to get a little work/play/entertaining/multi-tasking done! LOL Happy Monday lovelies!! xo

Up, Up and Away...

- Up, Up and Away... -

Happy Weekend Everyone :D It couldn't come round quick enough for me, I need the break! I have been busy working and looking after a baby who is getting top teeth and just started crawling - it's been HECTIC! To top it off I have a cold - damn you sickness!

I'm trying to finish off Skyla's Nursery. She is 6 months now so I really need to get a move on before she becomes a teenager! The only thing left to do is the artwork and hang the other bits'n'bobs around her room. I have collected frames in different styles and sizes which I have sprayed white, so it is just a matter of filling them. Easier said than done and I am so indecisive.

I have made another version of 'Up, up and Away...' so it ties in with her quilt and cushion in her nursery. I will be using these materials for a couple of other prints too. "Up, Up and Away..." is in my Etsy shop along with a few other prints which is rather EXCITING!!! YES my ETSY is open for business again - HOORAH! Over the next couple of weeks I will be continuing to add items for sale :D xox

Here is 'Aquarius' for all you water-bearers out there! Speaking of water, I'm off for a swim with Skyla today. Must make the most of this lovely hot weather :D

Fabric Illustrations continued...

Using the fabrics from the Matryoshka illustration, I have done two new designs. Here is 'Up..Up..and Away' and 'The Neighbourhood'. I hope you like them!

Jazzy Matryoshka Print

This afternoon I played around with fabric swatches on the computer and jazzed up a set of Matryoshka dollies! A nice change to standard pink and purple for girls I think :D

Hello All,

I hope everyone had a Magical Christmas and your NewYear started off brilliantly!
I have had a wonderful festive season celebrating Skyla's first Chrissy with several parties and a week down at the beach. Now I am finally home (with an extra 3 kilos! I think I may have over indulged... just a little!) This year I'm hoping to actually stick to my new year resolutions - get healthy & fit, create more art and..... I have forgotten the rest already. Hmm not a great start.

Thanks for reading and commenting on my blog, it means so much. I hope to have plenty more for you all this year. Wishing every single one of you the best of luck for 2012! xxx
