January
Happy January! Happy New Year! Happy Hooray I am updating my blog at last!
What exciting things have I been up to? Well, sorting out the kitchen drawers for one thing. I know it might not be a glamourous job but someone has to do it, right? And it looks SO much better when everything is in it’s little home.
I bought some of that rubber drawer lining stuff and some little white plastic baskets and got to work, sorting and organising - finding long forgotten things and op-shopping a few more.
See? That was worth waiting for, wasn’t it?
What - you want more? Oh, okay then. I’ve also been doing a bit in my art journal:
Above: Queen of Hearts - done with crayon, playing card, paper flowers, old postage stamps. I also cut a stencil of the face and used black to fill it in and the white flower is from the packaging of a Heidi Swapp scrapbooking thing that a friend was going to throw out. I ran it through the Xyron and stuck it right in.
This one is called Two Faces - to me they are angry but Paul said they don’t look angry to him so I don’t know. They are supposed to be grotesque in any case so I think I got that bit right. I have been feeling cranky and annoyed these last two days and this is what came out onto the page.
Above - Home Improvement Project. This one came together really quickly and seemed to draw itself. The words are from a “box of words” that are used for scrapbooking and I literally just pulled these word strips off the top of the pile and they told my story.
You can see all the pages from my art journal here.

You sound like an organizing mommy with all of this going on. I did just finish an upholstered chair. It isn’t exactly ART, but it turned out nice. You may like it.
