Grrrrr!!

Howdy lovelies!

Hope you had a super duper weekend! I should be full of happy and smiles but I AM VERY GRUMPY today because I have misplaced my usb stick which I use for all my illustration stuff! GRRRRRRR!!!


This means I either have to buy a new one or hope that the old one turns up. GRRRRR!! On the plus side (and a massive reason to be happy): I AM OFF ON HOLIDAY tomorrow evening! YIPPEEEEEEEE!!! Just one and a half working days left and I'll be sunning myself on that beach! woo-hoooo! Now I just need to start packing... oh dear!

TGI Friday!

Well helloooooo lovely readers!

Things you should be aware of before reading any further:
1. I am tired
2. I have a sore throat from singing my head off (mainly to Disney) at karaoke last night
3. I am tired

!!! I am so pleased its Friday and that I am on holiday soon! Oh can I just say a big thank you again for all my recent comments but particularly to drend for their lovely words, truly made my morning! Actual work (graphic design) is getting me down a bit so it was an amazing boost knowing that the things I really love doing (doodling, illustrating etc) are making others jolly out there :-)

I'm afraid it's another Crimbo design for you to feast your eyes upon today (I've not managed to do very much this week, apologies!). I'm planning a doodling day tomorrow so with any luck I'll have something non-crimbo related to show you next week before I go off on my hols!



Have a super weekend all :-) xxxx

Something a little self indulgent

Morrrrrning all!

Hope you are smiling wherever you are :-)
It is positively grotty outside today, WHERE ON EARTH has the summer gone? Good thing I'm off on my hols next week! he he!

Something a little self indulgent for today's post; Treasure Hunt Boy is the piece of brown bread (a nickname I have given him) and I am the sunflower (he calls me that as I have a big smiley face). I know he like this pic as I showed it to him a little while ago... I couldn't wait!!

 

Tonight I have the gorgeous Charles' birthday party; we're going for a meal and then doing Karaoke which I've not done since I was about 12... it should be interesting and super fun!! ha ha, get those ear plugs out!

A tired old Nana

Hello!

And welcome to my new readers and facebook likers! It's so nice to have you along for the ride! :-) Thanks for your nice comments toooooooo!

So, I have been a pretty tired Nanny... The camping trip this weekend was great but I am absolutely pooped now. Actual work is very busy too which is not exactly helping matters!! All I keep thinking is that this time next week I will be on a beach in Ibiza with one of my best buddies (the lovely Miss Kattavenos), which reminds me... I regret to inform you I won't be posting at all from 23rd Aug until about 5th Sept!! I will try to get as much stuff as possible on line before I go which will hopefully keep you going :-D

Sooo, I know it's August but here is another Crimbo goody for you!



YUM YUM! Christmas Pud is my fave!
Lots of love, Nanny xxxx

Camping times!

HAPPY FRIDAY-ING ALL!

Hope you are all well and enjoying the very last part of the working week. I am so very much looking forward to 5.30pm tonight when I can hit the road and make my way onto my weekend of CAMPING FUN! I have just read the weather report and apparently it's going to rain a little. I'm sure we can cope with the raindrops but I'm kinda wishing I hadn't forgotten to pack my wellies...

This is for all of my favourites ESPECIALLY the book florist who continues to not only bring much needed support but also a big smile to my face!

 have a great one all! Nanny xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Busy Thursday

Hiya!

Hope you're all well in the land of the interwebs! I have been crazy busy with actual work, plans for illustrative work and also with family commitments (namely making sure my Mum is behaving after having her foot operation. It is proving to be rather difficult). ALSO I have been trying to see treasure hunt boy as much as possible which continues to be just lovely. Generally I am feeling very happy (YIP YIP) but also super tired too. Think I need to properly catch up on sleeps times this weekend although that plan may go out of the window seeing as I'm taking my young cousins CAMPING! ha! Oh lordy I'm going to be exhausted!

Anyway, here is something inspired by recent happy times. Hope you likey :-)


Thanks for reading this post my little sweethearts, it makes me so very happy that you do!

First proper post of the week, sorry!

Hellooooooo lovely readers!

Sorry for my utterly RUBBISH lack of posting this week; I have been rather busy at my day job and spending my evenings getting to know Treasure Hunt Boy better :-) Anyways, I am feeling full of happy this week in general so this image is even more relevant than normal! The Egg Magician is baaaaaaaack, he couldn't stay away!!! Well, actually, a rough doodle of this image is what inspired the whole comic thing with him in the first place... So I guess you could call this "The Egg Magician: The Prequel" ... ??!!



SENDING NANNY HAPPY AND LOVE YOUR WAY PEEPS!
:-) Hope you're all smiling as much as I am!!
