Well I have written a story about a gardening obsessed rabbit who causes mayhem in her home and thiks she has to give up what she loves – it has a happy ending though 🙂 And she is not based on anyone I know honest…. ok well maybe a little bit! Now for Christina’s story […]

Easter Stories

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

I am going to attempt to get Ester Rabbit and Christina Clucklesworth written in time for Easter and our little girls Easter Egg Hunt 🙂 I have a vague idea of where the chicken story is going as I have a cute little tale from my nan to use 🙂 The Rabbit story I think […]

Therizinosaur

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

I submitted my rather wonky looking creation to Art Evolves Therizinosaur Time Capsule. I decided it looked like something out of the Dark Crystal! The live blogging however suffered a set back in me being inept with remembering where I have put things :/

Horace The House Dragon… Finished!

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Horace The House Dragon

I have started writing Horace The House Dragon – this is actually from a game my little girl plays and so unsuprisingly it is about Jean finding Dragons in her house 🙂 The only thing is that my husband was abit upset that there is no Mummy in the story. But part of what I […]

Publication Decissions

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

You may have noticed that I am talking a lot about producing books myself – why am I doing this rather than going for a pub. company? There are many reasons not least the fact that one small/medium sized company is still sitting on some stuff I’d done and are not likely to do anything […]

Palaeo-Environment

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

I submitted my first Palaeo-Art to Art Evolved, it is of a Benthonic Upper Ordovician Seascape and is actually only the rough idea I sketched out in Biro at the back of a note book as I run out of time! I have already started reading up on the creature they want for the next […]
