The pig

"They want my bacon slice by slice, to sell at a tremendous price! They want my tender juicy chops, to put in all the butcher's shops! They want my pork to make a roast, and that's the part'll cost the most! They want my sausages in strings, they even want my chitterlings, The butcher's shop! The carving knife! That is the reason for my life!" Roald Dahl - The pig

Just for the record - I do eat bacon and I've heard that pigs make great pets. The pig image is from the Graphics Fairy  - linking to Brag Monday.

Friday freebie- valentine stamp 1

With valentine's day around the corner, here is the first of a few heart stamps that I made. This was so much fun - I scanned an orange mesh bag and created a few stamps with it, using different brushes. Click here for your free copy. Have a great weekend!

Butterflies

I suppose I could enter most of my designs for the Take a word butterflies challenge -  since I use butterflies all the time, but this one though is hot off the press ;-) I just love the burnt orange - it makes me happy!!!

Daffodils

I am always so excited to see the first daffodil bloom in my garden and in the words of William Wordsworth - "then my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils" So when I saw the Spring challenge at Theme Thursday, my first thought was daffodils. The daffodil image is a black and white drawing from Graphics Fairy - I just love to experiment with various techniques to add colour to these drawings.

Must love cats

Even though I am allergic to cats, I simply love them - just look at that adorable face! My entry for the nature's creatures challenge at Three Muses.
