some great wallpapers!

my kitchen, the progress of which i have been blogging on wessexfm, is still not finnished altho it will be this week, with the tiles going up on thursday. it will be nice not living with a cluttered dining room including the fridge next to matty's high-chair. it is covered in sticky finger prints!

its not easy to get any sewing done, but i have managed a bit, and the drawing of flash was admired by at least one of my kitchen fitters ...

i should finnish that minature camera for the raggy rat soon, in the meantime here is a peep at the treasure we found behind those very old 50s style cupboards ....

this second one takes me back, to wearing plastic bibs and sucking rusks.... do pop over to the blog of sebs progress, linked from the left if this doesn't work of course ...

squark ! a new puppet commission ....

yippeee i got the job pf making a parrot puppet for a cumbrian performance company, just thru word of mouth which is famtastic ... i have done some sketches and lots of fun research, and i hope to begin this week and get it done before 24th feb, as their deadline is 1st march ...
i also need to make a special raggyrat holding one of these camera cases ....
and containing one of these ... and talking of cameras, i forgot mine on friday when me and the fuzzy twins went to see seb green leaving on his round britain walk. We met flash, who i felt i knew really well after spending so long drawing him, but his barking made daisy cry. Matty eyed up the paramedic who was on hand, and i said hello to seb himself, who said he found my blog while 'googling' which was funny, i didnt even think of him finding me himself! i managed to wish seb good luck and shake his hand before it was time to go ...

my first blog entry - ever !

For weeks i have been thinking of things that would be good blogged ... these are very exciting times for me and my work. i dont really have enough time to blog. i type badly and hardly use spell checkers, so i shall become famous for mistakes ...

for starters im going to try and get flickr to talk to my blog. that way i can share more behind my pictures, which i am very proud of.

something small that happened over this weekend involved daisy, when she said poo and did the baby sign during a nappy filling moment, and then today when i apeared and she said poo, and so we went off to check nappies. poo was duly removed. yipppeeeee, not bad for 15 months. matty doesnt say or sign poo at all ....

The lobster? my new job .....
