Just a few pretty garden pics. With all the rain this year, the sudden few burst of sunshine have brought out SO MANY lush colours! There's something new every day I go out to check on the garden! 

 

In Amelia's little wildflower garden (which the bees have just found :)

 Feeling sorry for this little geum, who bloomed so beautifully and strong last year - this year, she's being inundated with aphids! I've given her a good feed to give her extra strength, and there should be a good rainfall later, so fingers crossed she'll pick up.
The other, yellow geum is much happier.

 

I'm working on a few arty pieces, so should have more to show you very soon!

New Austen Prints

My mind is completely frazzled today - probably because I've been thinking too much about recent news events both here and in the States...and the world over for that matter. Maybe I should give the news channels a rest for today and just paint and think about pretty things...speaking of which...

I thought I'd make up some new prints from recent paintings! Hope you like!

 

"Jane and Bingley Take A Stroll" - 5 x 7 print

 "Kitty & Lydia" 5 x 7 print

New Kickstarter goal and extra goodies...

Shhhh! Lydia Bennett has something to whisper to you...

 Yessss! Only £28 to go on the Jane Austen Postcards Kickstarter Project and I've decided to add some extra goodies if we can take it up to £200...

For ALL pledges £10 and over, I'll add in there a pack of the popular Jane Austen bookmarks, normally on sale over at the ETSY shop for US$9.50 (currently £6.29).

The bookmarks are each feature a different character from Miss Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice' (the five sisters and Mr Darcy) and are really popular especially over the Holiday period.

So spread the word - the more we can pledge together, the more freebies, bargains and surprises I can give to you!

Thank you so much for your help!

Jane Austen Postcards

 Hello! Happy Thursday (where do the days go?!)

This is today's workspace. Four commissions for a lady, and a couple of little extras too. 

 Kickstarter...

Some of you will already know about this project I've put up on Kickstarter. I'm so excited about it!

  

 

It's a new Jane Austen postcard pack, and you get to win rewards if you pledge a bit towards it (the more you plege, the more you win, as you might have guessed). 

If we go over the intended target, I will be able to add extra goodies to each reward, no matter how much you have originally pledged. 

The reverse will look like this:

 

Please come and help us out here >>> Jane Austen Postcard Pack <<<

Hope to see you there!
