Can you tell who it is yet...??

Ooh I,ve been a bad blogger these last two days. I just don't know where the time has gone to be honest. I am running around like the proverbial blue arsed fly, as usual. I get up in a morning with fabby intentions and then suddenly "poof" its 2 am. Has someone pressed the wrong button and sent my life into X16 fast forward..?? I have had lots of magazine deadlines, a restructuring of the business plan, The Ranger weekend to prep for, Planning for the demo day, cupcake stands to buy, Northern Soul dancing to do, ogling of builders ( just in case a fit one turns up), creating of many masterpieces, lots of blowing of snotty sniveling nose and the usual day to day running of a business and home. Apart from that I cant think where on earth the time may have gone..!!

So this weekend we have the Mini Ranger 2 weekend. Mini Ranger 1 was a great success and I am really looking forward to it. Topics this weekend include, colour wash, Ultra Thick Embossing , Melt Pot, Beeswax, Grunge and the new alcohol ink pens. YES they are finally here. Will get them filled up and played with as soon as and will report back. But we all know they are gonna be a must have don't we..??

I am also preparing for our demo day next Sat 20 th June. It is all to raise funds for Carers Society, a Charity that was very special to my mum. I will be demoing techniques all day, and we will have 3 make and take tables where you can be creative. There will also be a big raffle, with one of the prizes signed by Tim himself. Oh yes..!! There will be tea and cupcakes in abundance ( all contributions extremely welcome) . I,ll tell you more when its organised properly.

Need to show you these pages from one of my students art journals that she is doing at home. I just think they are fabby and looking at them you wouldn't believe that the lovely Katie is only 10 yrs of age.. Wish I could have done this at her age.

Maisie came to the studio today. She was looking gorgeous with her hair all braided, though not sure how Lucy got her to sit still for that length of time..

Of course she heads straight for something arty. Today it was pencils and drawing teddy bears. She gave me a quick crash course in that skill, for which I will be eternally grateful for..And as a big bonus she brought me and Ems a cupcake each. Yayy, I shall be sniffing that tomorrow..

After the drawing she discovered the Scotch tape. I use this tape all the time and she is always fascinated with it. She started off today by taping her mouth up.

Then one eye.

and another

We thought it would be funny to draw these on the pieces of tape.

And loved it so much we went a bit mad, lol

Only one thing missing, some ruby red lips. 2 Min's later and here's my little darling looking irresistibly gorgeous, don't you think..??

Now everyone is aware of one of my addictions. This is the severest of them all. My shoe addiction. I,ve tried to cut down, I,ve tried to go cold turkey, I,ve tried counselling and I,ve even tried HSHA ( high strappy heels anonymous ) all to no avail. I thought I was on the road to recovery , but today's binge just shows that I was obviously in denial. I am not gonna beat myself up about it and as Ems says "Mum just take it one day at a time, you can always start again tomorrow".. With that in mind I bought 3 pairs, lmao. Oops..

Well everyone needs a pair of Gladiator flats, don,t they..??

And you cant live without diamond encrusted, high heeled flip flops, surely..??

And this pair just sort of followed me home..!!

I can see these being a firm favourite already. Very high, very chunky and extremely bondage strappy. Everything a girl could wish for. So tomorrow can be cold turkey day..!!!

Enjoy xx
