The Siren Sings

I know she scares me too. And yet strangely enough, her song lures me, and I still feel like I want to sink down into the pools of her eyes ......................

The Mermaid & The Seals

Jester

To illustrate a poem............... When it's finished

Go wii Go

God I love those wii game consoles. Hubs brought me the wii fit board at xmas and Ive lost nearly half a stone. Recently I also brought the dance revolution software and dance mat to use on it and its fandabbydozee. I admit Im no John Travolta, but even I can do a basic stomp. I won't be rushing out and buying any spangly boob tubes anytime soon though. Any disco diva-ing will be definately confined to the privacy of my own living-room. I could frighten people.

Been working on a jester piece and also one with a phoenix............ Will post soon....

Went to our Daughters parents evening the other night and she made us proud with the teachers comments. Lovely kid and a hard worker,who deserves to do well in her coming exams, apparently............ However, shes like a banshee at home, so Its like they were talking about two different people. Her art teacher surprised me too. She said our kid is a good organiser. I thought to myself, you should see the bomb site that is her bedroom at home. It's about as organised as a bowl of spaghetti, and she cant find anything. I just sat there dazed and smiled and nodded a lot. On the way home hubs and I chuckled.

Catch Up

Err it's been nearly four months since my last confession (er I mean blog update). Well theres never enough hours in the day is there? Anyway, to summarise, Ive given up the market stall as I think I will make more by selling online and also by doing casual markets across the local counties from the Spring through to the Summer months, without having to tie myself up to a hefty rent outlay. Im not sad really, as it's served its purpose as a learning experience, and showed me I enjoy market trading. I never lost anything either, just breaking even really. As a whole the venue was suffering though, as other stalls werent doing too hot there either. I dont just blame a recession, it just seems to have seen its day, and no new customers were coming in. The venue is outdated and dosent attract the younger generation. I felt like it would be a lost cause and I wanted to hang on to my best remaining stock in order to have something to sell off in the following summer months. Also it means more time for my art, which was a major factor for me. ................. Riiiight, onwards and upwards eh?
