My dear Aunty Nin loved to crochet and she made me some antimacassars. I’ve had them for decades and they’re still going strong. I don’t need to use them on the backs of the chairs as men don’t wear macassar any more so I drape them over the chair seats to protect them from aContinue reading “Aunty Nin’s Antimacassar”

It’s MYYYY Chair!
So I’ve had a tiring and frustrating day slaving over hot computers to earn a crust to pay for catfood and I finally get some down time and head for the living room and the telly and WHO is sleeping on MYYYY chair? Not Goldilocks! The psychokitteh, Sparta Puss. On my nice fleecy blankie. AndContinue reading “It’s MYYYY Chair!”
I Love My Bed
Horrible weather this morning, very dark and pouring with rain and I really didn’t want to get up. Husb kept nagging me but I was grasping at any excuse to stay put – soooo cosy. Little Ming jumped onto the bed and padded around to make herself comfy so I grabbed my little watercolour padContinue reading “I Love My Bed”
Apes And The Psychokitteh
Greetings, Monkeys. Sparta Puss here. I have control of the pooter box while the hairless apes are chillaxin’. I’ve been hearing a lot about a dog called Pavlov who trained his fur-less monkeys to give him food whenever he pressed a lever. Not bad going for a dog, but a bit too complicated, I think.Continue reading “Apes And The Psychokitteh”
Wonky Feet
Carrying on with my mini-theme of drawing everyday things from a different angle, I curled up on my chair this evening and drew the view down my legs, with my cat, Sparta, curled up next to my wonky feet. There was some serious foreshortening going on and it’s not a flattering portrayal of my gamsContinue reading “Wonky Feet”
Hair Light
I try to blog a drawing a day but sometimes it gets hard coming up with something new. I don’t go to exotic places and meet exotic people every day; I just trudge through the rain between my little house and my littler studio; hang out with Husb and the cats; wander down to theContinue reading “Hair Light”
Pigs And Onesies
The two little great-nephews had a sleepover and today they played Pass The Pigs with Husb – they went completely hysterical. It’s difficult to draw kids at the best of times but when they’re going crazy with excitement, you have to get their essence down in so few seconds! Here they are in their darlingContinue reading “Pigs And Onesies”
The Gadget
Husb has a new smartphone. He is now lost to me 😉 Drawn in my A5 purple silk recycled sketchbook with a Pentel V5 pen just a few minutes ago……….
Mayhem In Waiting…
After the excitement of blogging about Iceland and wrestling my computer back from Sparta the psychokitteh, I’ve settled down into some domestic normality. Husb and our little great-niece put the Xmas tree up this evening and I sat and scribbled – and issued directions. I sketched some of the tree and baubles and noticed someoneContinue reading “Mayhem In Waiting…”
Sprog Sitting
Did some sprog sitting over the weekend with a gaggle of small nieces and nephews, so I grabbed the chance to do some more scribbles of children’s heads. Weird little alien bonces are very hard to draw. The proportions are so difficult – they have impossibly huge eyes. I’ll get there …. one dayContinue reading “Sprog Sitting”
