Boredom baking: gluten-free oat & raisin cookies recipe by Jamie Oliver
Yesterday was one of those days. Lockdown + boredom = baking motivation!

However, after rifling through my baking cupboard, I discovered I only… Continue reading Boredom baking: gluten-free oat & raisin cookies recipe by Jamie Oliver

My stripy knitted cushion using a Zoë Mellor pattern
This project has taken me many years to finish. I guess I am a faddy person because I find that I start projects and then move on when something new and exciting comes along! Back in November 2020, I posted some images on Instagram of a couple of projects that I wanted to resurrect and… Continue reading My stripy knitted cushion using a Zoë Mellor pattern
Illustration inspired by Artful Box: a hoopoe
This illustration was inspired by the Artful box theme: a hoopoe from Saturday 9th January 2021. Most people are probably familiar with the orange coloured hoopoe with the amazing crown of feathers. I thought I’d find out if there were any other types of hoopoe and discovered the green wood hoopoe. I loved the rich… Continue reading Illustration inspired by Artful Box: a hoopoe

ELF ON THE SHELF: six years of elf antics remembered + photos
Amongst Brits, our family was a fairly early adopter of the American Elf on the Shelf phenomenon. I discovered it back in 2014. It was getting close to Christmas, so by the time our scout elf arrived, he didn’t get the chance to perform as many antics as he did in later years. I’m not… Continue reading ELF ON THE SHELF: six years of elf antics remembered + photos
Illustration inspired by Artful Box: a pocket with personality
This illustration was inspired by the Artful Box theme A pocket with personality from Saturday 26th December 2020. I sketched the design with a pencil and drew the black lines using a fineliner. The watercolours are acrylic inks and the smoke is indian ink. I know that the phrase pocket rocket can have sexual connotations,… Continue reading Illustration inspired by Artful Box: a pocket with personality
