today...

...is my nephew's birthday...he's SUCH a gorgeous little boy,turning 2 today!!!Happy Birthday little Mr.M!

The drawings above are for a series of canvases which I'm painting for a friend's Natural Health Centre in Toronto called Pure Health...she hosts Artists work on her walls...



We're all feeling a little under the weather here...probably not enough fresh air...(I can hear you Mum!!!) So today will be a quiet day, painting,drawing,lego building with the girls. Miss A sounds like a Seal with her cough...and she can't stomach much these past couple of days...
WHEN will Spring arrive here?

cloudy HUGS,

sugar-free SWEETNESS

Hope you're all enjoying the start of another week...it's gorgeous weather here today, the girls have been cartwheeling and forward rolling for hours this morning...
Here are a few pics (if I can upload them...) of pure sweetness from these past couple of days.

smiles from Mama...

little Miss J enjoying taking care of the horses...

little Miss A tending to her Fairy Garden...

Tea and cake with Sis and Tam...I changed the recipe a little from the traditional Apple cake I make for my Dad's B-day last year...I will post later....PROMISE!!! It's hazelnut and Macademia apple cake.

Sunset is sweet here...we can treasure the views with all the deer grazing every evening...

I'm SO happy I have been able to FINALLY post some pics...and whilst they were loading...I cleaned the entire kitchen!

Patience...that's all I needed...haha...

what sugar-free sweetness has entered you day today???

Until tomorrow...

A Mother's day Wish for my Mama in the UK...

a painting in progress for my Brother who has a Birthday on St. Patrick's Day...on wednesday(don't worry...I won't be showing you the finished painting...that would be giving it away:-)

Liss Miss A and Little Miss J joining me in my painting adventure today.

I love to see them enjoying painting and drawing so much.

my little Bro turns 33 on Wednesday...he's a farmer...and has those great green boots too!

A regular day for him would be feeding the deer and then working the rest of the day in the Farm Shop.

I really loved working on this painting...hope he loves it.

Ok...so on my brother's Birthday, Dad goes in for his Operation at 7.30 AM...so hard being this far away.

So I'll be praying that everything goes smoothly.

Tomorrow evening I am hosting a GIVEAWAY...so make sure you check back.

Thanks for all your encouragement and positive thoughts regarding my last post...I know it's not a lovely thought, and have come to conclusion that everyday is more important to love and cherish those around you than to worry about the future.

Mum...you're the BEST!
Bro...I miss you and your Family...and wish you a wonderful Birthday.
Dad...I'm praying for a GREAT St.Patrick's Day for you.

Until TOMORROW.

Colourful Spring

I'm creating a new series of watercolours for our Mamas and Chicks Show which is only a month away...AAHhhahhaaahhhhh...I have so much to do.
I want to keep the name of the people/children on the story in the painting left blank, this way I can personalize...or the buyer can personalize the painting for whomever they are gifting the piece to.
This one is inspired by where my parents live in England, they're surrounded by farmlands and deer...a very special place in my heart.
I'm excited about this project because it involves colour.
I figure if I can do 5 in a week, I'll have 20 to offer for the Show.
Sorry I haven't posted for a while...we're all better now, but it was a tough week last week.
Back with lots of energy and ideas!
Come back soon and see what others will be in the new "Colourful Spring" series.
