Hello anyone out there!

Finally, Blogger has let me type a post. It was having problems on my previous post, hence all the pics and no text. Now I'm back.

Sian is almost 12 weeks old. We have been so wrapped up in the newest member of our family I haven't been near the computer for quite a while. I've been going to bed early to cope with the night feeds and have been able to drive my boys to school safely - not in a sleep deprived comatose state.

It has been nice to have a break from blogging but I feel I have the urge to post again. But where to start.... I have a phone full of photos from the last couple of months - mainly of Sian.




A few months ago I discovered Flora Bowley's blog. I love her art and the process of her art making. I was  inspired to dust off my brushes and paint a picture through this pregnancy. I had this creative urge to paint when I couldn't knit due the excess fluid from being pregnant making me feel like a puffer fish. At least I  could paint.

So in a Flora style I closed my eyes, breathed and just painted, not thinking about it too much. There's a few layers as I just kept adding, walking away and coming back to the painting. I let go of my fears of it not being perfect and just enjoy painting. So here is what I came up with....
