Sneeky peeky!

Heres a peek of the painting I hope to finish today..............

February Love......

Hello, are we all glad to see the back of January? We are one month closer to warm weather! I was walking Toby the other day and came across this tree, I think it got hit by lightening - poor thing!
So, whats new? How are your new years resolutions going?
Today I am going to pick up one more set of prints from the printers (duh! where else would I get them?) and hopefully finish the latest painting. I am also on a mission to find Amelie
she has some very sweet pendants made with her lovely art and I know someone who'd like one very well!!! ( yes, me - but actually this is for someone else)
Its windy and rainy today, and Toby is afraid of the wind. I'm trying to type this with him on my lap with his chin laying on the keyboard....... he will follow me everywhere today, he really doesn't like it. Perhaps I can get him doggy ear plugs?>

Anyhoo, enjoy your day,
lotsa love,

Oooh Pretty!

Its not my birthday till April but i'm making a wish list now, you know just in case anyone (Tim!) should want some ideas.......
And this is top of the list-
A necklace from Gwynnie B the only problem is choosing which one!
Aren't they pretty? I love them!!

I also happen to love her boots that are in her "weekend fun" post on her blog - perhaps i'll put those on my list too!!

Its 3.20am, I couldn't sleep (that is a VERY unusual thing for me) so here I am in blog land, I suppose i'd better go back to bed and stop thinking about sleeping and just do it!

Good night x

Etsy - Betsy!

Hello, exciting news!!!! ( well I think its exciting....)

I had some (lets be honest, it was only two, but still !) enquiries about the Polly paintings and so I've taken the plunge and had prints made and am listing them on Etsy!!
The address is www.etsy.com/shop/scrapzville

Only Polly Pilot is there at the moment but as soon as I get a chance all the other Pollys will be there too. They will soon be followed by Polly greetings cards - yes, its true, the Polly Dollies have taken over my world!!!

Very Cool........

Hello, I have found a really lovely blog and etsy store, it belongs to Katherine Quinn and is well worth a look.
Her house pictures are so cute that I may just have to buy one! click the little badge on the right to have a look.

Tims Birthday!

This week we celebrated Tims birthday by taking a night way in west Cork. Now when I say "celebrated" I mean, I did because Tim is having another Bah Humbug moment! He is very good at making a huge fuss of me for mine, but prefers for his to pass un-noticed.

No Chance!!!!

I made him a card - why is it so hard to make cards for men???? which he liked and on our way to Clonakilty we visited Lough Hyne.

We will definately be going there again in the summer, its a great spot for canoeing. So, after cards and presents and cake and a lovely day, he had to admit that birthdays aren't that bad after all!

What else? yesterday I went to a craft class at the Crafty Alley shop - we did 12x12 layouts, i'll post those pictures later. The papers were fab, Lost and Found from My Minds Eye, and it was lovely to see everyone again.

Thats all my news this week I think - I'm working on a new Polly painting, which i'll show you as soon as its done.

Byeeeeeee! x

This week......

Hello lovely ladies,
how was your week? mine was interesting, it flew by though and now since it is howling a gail and puring rain, i'm at home "pottering" .

My cousin Paulette posted on Facebook yesterday, "Dear God, please make my bank balance fat and my body thin, I only ask as it seems to be the wrong way round!"

And Ebony posted that she wanted to go to Notting Hill (or Primrose Hill, any London hill will do apparently) and open a cake shop that does late night sessions, craft classes and makes hangover killing bacon sandwiches..............

Dreams are funny things, mine usually involve living in a house that we have built that will have craft room ( a whole room!) and magically this house will always be tidy...! and I will finish everything I start..... but I'm much better at that than I used to be!

So, ladies, what did you dream of this week?

p.s. Get better soon Maggie x x x x x x x x x x
