* Spring Days *

My little characters were so excited this morning - for spring had truly arrived! They clamored to be let out in the garden, so I packed them into my basket and carried them out into the garden...

...and they hurried off to play!
The garden is pretty big for such small friends - can you see where they are?
Oh look - there's Bert waving by the front door.

Buttercup Bunny is talking to the Primroses...

...and sniffing the grape hyacinths.Are there any characters playing in the flower beds?

Is that something by the white hyacinths?
Ah - ha! Hello Fleur Bear!

Here is Pussy Cat Bleu prowling on the Camellia...

...and Berta is dreaming by the pink hyacinth.
Pussy Cat Bleu then pranced over to the tulips...
...whilst Berta climbed up into the Forsythia bush (because the flowers match her little nose)...
...and Hobbes and 'Robber' friend joined in and basked in the spring sun down below.'What a happy spring day!' cried all the characters.

* Audition Bunny *

Sorry I haven't been blogging lately - working on Red Nose Day, my 30th birthday and holiday fun has all meant I've not had time to blog - but now here I am!

For my sister Sue's birthday, I made her an 'Audition Bunny' - she is a marvellous actor and I wanted to make a special gift that reflected her wonderful talents.
This bun is nice and pocket sized to hide in her pocket when she goes to auditions and stuffed with lavender from Provence to calm her nerves! I also made a leaflet to go with Audition Bunny to show how useful the bunny is when auditioning!
More fun to follow!

* Little Red Update *

So I'm progressing with my illustrations of 'Little Red' the Fox - Jon had the marvellous idea that I should make shapes and photograph them, so there is a 3D effect. Here's the start of the new illustration ideas...

...this is the summer scene

And here are my other Little Red's waiting for their scenes to be made:


Fleur Bear was watching all the photo fun under a vase of flowers... x*x*x
