14/29 and feeling.....

BLURGH!!!!


OMG... no wonder my daughter has been whining all week..... I feel a bad mum for not being a bit more sympathetic!!!  I feel (and look) like shit!  This is NASTY!!!!

Sat and felt very sorry for myself today...... and done a little sketch....  I am not so much getting bored with pencils, (shock horror.. that could never happen) but I feel the need for colours......  so I also had a rummage in the boxes and found my paints... tomorrows face is hopefully going to be more than black and white shading! :-)

Right....  I have made it to 7.15..... and I think that is a suitable bedtime for such a poorly Artistic Goddess!!!!

Toodles! :-) x

Nearly forgot..... Friday the 13th

and face 13

Stroppy attitude bi-atch.......  Matches my mood perfectly!

Roll on tomorrow!!! xxx

Pushing my Luck a little for day 12

OK.. Look.. I have been so proud of me.... against all the odds.. I have blogged a new face everyday.....  so I figure I am allowed a cheeky little moment now and then!

Said a teary Goodbye to my beautiful cupboard today... for a number of reasons she had to go, and new stuff is coming (Sunday!!!!)  but at the moment, I have gone from this.....

To this......

And all this is behind me un-gettable at!!!!

Sooooooooooooooooo... with that in mind, and considering it has been an emotional day saying goodbye.... and pushing my luck here to the limit.....  todays face!

And that my friends... is as good as it is getting!!!! PMSL

Hopefully tomorrow I will be back on track! :-)


Toodles! xxxx

Never Forget 11/9

Thoughtful day today..... remembering the hundreds and hundreds who lost their lives so tragically, brutally and unnecessarily twelve years ago.....  I still remember the disbelief I felt at the time.....  I was watching a DVD at home, hubby was off work and doing the decking in the front garden........ and when it finished,  I turned it off and thought I was on the Movie Channel or something watching some awful second rate action film.... then I realized I was watching Sky News and an airplane had just hit the Twin Towers..... in sheer horror I screamed for my hubby and just after he came in, the second plane hit.....  I will never forget the feeling of sickness and the heartbreaking realization that it wasn't all an accident..... my heart then, and now goes out to all who were affected on that terrible day....


I had art club tonight... and while I was there, I drew todays face.....  I tried for pensive..... I may or may not have got it, but I did get pretty......

Until tomorrow... she will do nicely!  Toodles <3 xxx

#10...... La Loba ....

Another day another sketch..... very proud of me.. we are a third of the way through and I am still on target!

I have a poorly daughter today, she was off yesterday and is off today with a rotten raw and inflamed throat, and will probably be off tomorrow too..... so I was still up at the crack of dawn to phone the school, and decided to do a bit of reading.

As you know I am doing the Fabulous Book of Days and Moonshine with Effy..... well, I am also in another group and we are reading Woman Who Run With The Wolves, and journalling our thoughts and inspiration from the book.  Now it is not the easiest of books to read, I will admit.  Very deep, but very enjoyable and very thought provoking.....  I am only on chapter one, and this morning I was reading about La Loba.... The Wolf Woman

Combining the magic I have learned in Moonshine, with the thoughts and research we have been doing, and my early morning reading ..... (and a quick Google search for image inspiration) this lady appeared in my journal.  I am rather pleased with her.....

Now I am off to empty the last of my cupboard and find the screws so I can put the outer doors back on!!

Till tomorrow! <3 xxx

Day 9

and trying very hard to think of Snappy Heading and failing!!!!  In fact, failing to think of very much at all today!

Packed away more of the unit today ready for it to go and the new system to arrive..... so before they got buried in the pile of stuff, I grabbed my pencils and did another face......  tilting to the other side this time, and added a bit of colour to her hair using tinted charcoals....

Very seriously looking forward to getting my art space..... I am missing painting! :-)

Until tomorrow.......  Toodles! x

....and onto day 8 .....

Hello Fabulous People!!!

Another day .. another face.... have been watching the Moonshine Videos and still learning lots... loads of lots...and I really do feel I am learning, actually taking in on board and using it instead of just watching and carrying on as usual!!!  I am thrilled with how my faces are turning out!

Been busy again, emptying the cupboard out, but took a bit of me time to play... and here she is......

Until tomorrow!  Toodles! :-) xxx
