At home we have a crazy black cat and a lovely, fun dog, and it’s through walking our dog in the park every day that I have made some really good friends, human and canine! One of these friends recently had a special birthday, so I surprised her with a painting of her cat (who I had the pleasure of looking after last summer). This is the wonderful Bob:

Cold Autumn Morning
Took my camera to the woods today. It was a beautiful sunny morning, with such a clear blue sky.
A bit on the nippy side for me but these colours can’t help but make you smile.

As this is also Children in Need Day I have decided to donate the money from the first mosaic mirror sold to this very good cause.
If you would like a mirror made in other colours or styles, please feel free to message me to discuss your design.

Lucky finds
Although I have probably stepped back in time by about a quarter of a century, this week I bought an electronic typewriter …… I know I can’t update my blog on it, but I couldn’t resist. I’ve been on the lookout for a manual typewriter to use for making labels etc., but this electronic is brand spanking new, still in the original box with a correction tape (for typists who make mistakes!) a user’s guide and instruction manual.
Now, I can’t help but think the guardian angel of office supplies was looking down on me because then I came across two metal filing cabinets which are going to be so handy in my workshop for tools and mosaic tiles. Is it normal to be so excited about these things?
