I'm finally getting back to work! It's the start of another school year here in Australia, and we're all wondering where on earth the Summer went. The country has had a hideous time and we're not sure what the future holds. On a personal level our little household has been very busy with the start of renovations and a new puppy who is growing before our eyes. We also bought four new chickens who are delightful to look at because they're all black, but they're pretty useless. We've had several escapes as they try to navigate the ladder back into the coup at night and not a single egg has been laid!

Spoonflower this week

Of course I set myself some lofty and ambitious resolutions and goals for the start of the year. And of course they're not being met. One of them was to write a blog post each week...hahaha! Another was to complete two Spoonflower challenges each month. It's February and this is the first one for the year. It's a Springtime theme so an opportunity to illustrate some cute little lambs with the potential for making baby blankets. I'm really happy with this. I drew on some of the many many photos I took in the Devon countryside when I was home last year. My particualr favourites are heather and cow parsley (how good is that name!) because they remind me of walking with Dad.
