Dib dib dib!…

June 12, 2012 Julie Gardner2 Comments

It was so nice to have a break from it all in half term last week, shame about the weather but at least I had a chance to lie-in and spend some time with the boys and friends. The only thing I had to do was draw this picture of our local scout hut as… Continue reading Dib dib dib!…

Everyone loves a wedding… gift!

I love weddings but I find wedding presents really difficult to choose. Buying something from a wedding list at a department store can seem way too impersonal but then again buying something not on the list could be disastrous. This portrait of Notley Abbey near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, with a mosaic paper sky is my… Continue reading Everyone loves a wedding… gift!

I love drawing, but not running…

I'm not a natural runner, but I used to run every week, without fail, round the streets where I live. And I have to say I didn't enjoy it much.

Our house in ink and collage

This is just something I did the other day to fill some time in between appointments. I've always loved our house and I can remember really clearly the first time I saw it two years ago.

A couple of weeks ago I ran a lampshade workshop @toast_marlow
Another large empire lampshade recovered this week. Using @clarke_clarke_interiors Linoso II in charcoal. A nice contrast against the pink flowers!
Gorgeous gorgeous lampshade in the sunshine ๐ŸŒž
Hmmmm! Little Rosie is a pickle. Into everything! But I'm managing to make lampshades in between stopping the digging and chewing (she's very vocal, I tell her off and she barks back ๐Ÿคฃ)
I'm looking forward to teaching a lampshade workshop @toast_marlow tomorrow evening. Six attendees will be learning to make a small drum lampshade from a selection of lovely @toast fabric remnants. Can't wait! ๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒž
I hope you're enjoying this warm spell! Our garden is going crazy, lots of colourful flowers and the veg patch is coming along nicely. I love picking lettuce for lunch every day and am looking forward to peas, raspberries, chard, sweetcorn, tomatoes, cucumbers, French beans and lots more ๐Ÿ˜‹
