Merry Christmas!

Just a little note to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2011!

These are not macaroons...

I was planning on sharing some photos of my latest baking project from the new 'Making' magazine, but it turned out to be a macaroon disaster! Hopefully I'll have better luck next time... for now though, here are some new paintings instead :)

These budgies and guinea pig are all ACEOs, drawn in pencil and painted in watercolours.

This is Basil, my pet guinea pig, who loves to eat parsley amongst other things! Drawn in pencil and painted in watercolours (a 5x7 inch painting).

I'm currently adding new ACEOs to my Etsy shop and will also be adding listings for pet portrait commissions.

Snow!!

Fresh snow always looks so pretty...

Sellers Assisting Sellers

I came across the Sellers Assisting Sellers Team on Etsy today and thought their blog was really informative: http://www.etsymentors.blogspot.com/ It's full of tips and advice for selling on Etsy - although a lot of the articles would be relevant and useful for non-etsy sites too.

Reindeer Treasuries....

My Reindeer ACEO has been included in two treasuries on Etsy today :) You can take a look at all the other lovely items featured here -->> Milky Dreams and Reindeer Games
