Things that inspire Me&My

 

When I was a child, I assumed I would grow up to either draw pictures for story books or be Indiana Jones, it was pretty simple to me, in the end Iv kind of ended up drawing pictures for a living, but it was this version of Pinocchio that my grandad bought me when I was very young which fuelled my ambition to do something 'arty' when I was grown. It is beautifully illustrated by Roberto Innocenti, its Gothic and dark, but as a child I poured over the pictures for hours seeing new details every time. I still love this book and it will be handing down to my son and hopefully in time to his children. I also bought these sweet postcards today by Belle and Boo, they are going to be framed and put up on the wall above my computer so I can look at them every day and remind myself that childhood is an innocent, playful and fun time that should be full of imagination.

When England turned into Narnia.....

Its not often I get 3-4 days off from working, but with Narnia turning up and nursery closed, I enjoyed a very wintry few days mucking around in the snow, My son and his Dad built their very first snowman, accompanied by a snow dog, we picked up a bargain sledge in a local toy store, which meant navigating town became a doddle, and we went and made sure the local ducks and swans hadn't frozen in the pond! but now I'm dreaming of Sunshine, lazy summer days and not having to wear several jumpers at the same time! Back to work later today...maybe!

 

 

 

 

snow day off......

Hi, So in typical British fashion, every time it snows everyone acts surprised and the country slowly grinds to a halt!, so after picking up my little man from nursery, and watching him skip home in delight at the snow, we are now having an afternoon off! cue Toy Story box set, homemade cookies, and absolutely NO sewing for me!

St Albans is a very pretty place to live in the summer, but in the winter is looks magical.....
