On the art front I'll give a bit of an update...

After our move in the snow over Christmas, we are settling into our new home nicely. I'm soon to be nesting in my new studio. So some new artwork should be available soon!

Graffiti

Here are a selection of shots taken as I took a cruise along the canal in Manchester to Salford Quays.

Snow Fun

We are getting settled into our new home slowly. It's been a challenge moving house whilst being snowed in :)
A bit of snowboarding today in the back field. I will be an eternal beginner, but I did go quite fast - for me!

The sling lives! My almost 3 year old has happily been slung this week after a 9 month sling strike. With all this snow, slinging is the way forward. We had a great hike out to local farm shop in the winter sun. I didn't quite get him up high enough, but he was sheltering from the wind. He even had a nap on my back. Happy Days!

It's gorgeous here!

Happy New Year

Wishing you all a wonderful 2010!

We are all moved and sorting our stuff out. We are very happy in our new home!

Sling Video Origin

Here is where and who made the funny babywearing music video - Check her out!

Sling Out Sisters!!

Here is a really cool babywearing music video!

Festival of Light

We went to watch the Festival of Light last night in Huddersfield. It featured French trapeze artists Transe Express. It was really cool. I love street theatre and fireworks, so it was a perfect night for me! The picture's aren't great as usual, I'm waiting to see what Santa brings ;)

New Horizons

We are on the move again, but this time just to next village. We exchaged contracts on our new home today. I'm so happy and excited. I've felt in limbo for too long now, and this change in life is much needed. New Chapter here we come.
I will have a studio in the new place so I can really buckle down and start investing in my artistic career again. I'm also planning on marketing my floristry skills too. I've found a new path I want to explore artistically which I'm really looking forward to. I'm sure I'll keep you informed as to how I'm getting on.
I've been finding much inspiration from Drew and Maria Brophy. Great to see such professionalism and optimism in the arts. Check them out!

Culture Vulture

We had a cultural day out in Manchester today. We caught the train in and went to the Museum of Science and Industry. I saw a sinclair C5 in real life!

We then wandered around the German market, which was lovely. However it has made me want to go skiing desperately! Mmmm hot chocolate on the slopes in little wooden huts. Love it! There were some fab stalls selling Dutch door wreaths and Yule decorations. I may have to go back for another visit.

Please take a moment to sign this petition
