New Beginnings - January 2018

I am a bit late in beginning my blog post for 2018 as it has been a busy but wonderful time socialising with family and friends over the holiday season.  I hope you all had a very safe and happy time over the new year and life is beginning to settle down. I would like to wish you a year full of love, light and peace.  

Where to begin, firstly over the busy season I saw a lot of products from my online gallery go to far corners of the world, including, Canada, Germany, UK, America and more! A selection of sales are shown below and I would like to thank those that purchase and support my work it makes my heart sing whenever I receive a sale, large or small.

A little family news: we managed to fly to Melbourne in January to visit our travelling family The Blonde Nomads, who have finished their lap of Tasmania in their Jayco caravan and are now in South Australia. It was so good to see them all and celebrate our granddaughter's birthday who turned 5 in January and spoil her with some gifts, as well as our grandson who really loved his 'mubcrab' (as he calls them) t shirt from 'Nana'. Here he is looking very smart and cute  in my 'Blue Crab'  t shirt design. It was a very eventful trip going over, as after missing our flight booking in time by a few mins, we were relieved to be put on the next flight 20 mins later but not without a $300 charge! lol. Such is life!

I have just completed a commission for a return customer but will not be able to share it with you until after Easter when the client has received it. I truly hope they love it and will keep you posted! I have managed to do some small A4 watercolours in between everything else as you can see below. These are not framed at the moment and originals are available for sale. Please message me or click on image and purchase prints on line.

Seeing as Valentines is just around the corner I want to wish all  the romantics a 'love' filled day with whoever or whatever you find special. Here are just a few of my 'Love heart' designs to light up your day. I am feeling very lucky as just returned from a surprise weekend away with my dear husband who has always been an romantic at heart. ♥

That's all for now, oh I nearly forgot we have decided to open an Airbnb with a room/kitchenette to let and have been delighted to receive 6 lots of guests so far from Sydney, Holland and the UK. We really are enjoying the interaction with some lovely people and sharing our beautiful location.

I will pop back in March to let you know the latest news so until then, stay well and keep safe!
best wishes
