Philly blue eyes

In a moment of madness and with a weakness for getting arty and creative I have agreed to bind myself into a big task. My soul isn't yet sold to the devil but by the end of the next 2 weeks he will probably have my name printed in blood............. eww.

But because my generosity is all in aid of this fabulous leggy blonde.....


..................Best friend since age 4, then I don't mind quite so much.

What is this big task I hear you say.

Simple.

Turn this rectangluar peachy canvas.....


.....into this.....


It's pretty sizeable let me tell you and not an easy task, particularly because my 'studio' consists of my bedroom floor and I have developed a habit of spilling the painty water all over my carpet like a 5 year old. Bummer.
Thank you for your well wishes, much appreciated. The final master piece will be unveiled asap.

But rest easy knowing that this Van Gogh sure ain't gonna be chopping off her ear in a moment of madness. Phew!

Ta-Daaaa

So I have now painted my frame and I'm not afraid to say I have a bit of a crush on an inanimate object.

Thank you beautiful friends who all voted for their favourite... including those who wanted it to stay white. NO! That was not an option!!


Drum roll please.....


Well done everyone who voted turquoise, you have great taste!

Now the next step is deciding what to do on the inside and after a long hard think and lots of long hard looks over the bloggersphere I have decided that it will either become.....

Exhibit A. A black chalkboard


You know, obviously without the whole 'I <3 storage' thing going on. Although I'm not adverse to a bit of storage loving (which by the by is going for a cool £75 from Heals) Or... Exhibit B. Some bright print/clashing fabric to make it into a pinboard, a few fabrics that I like.....



Sadly my Photoshop skills failed me this time, I know lots of you complimeted me on the last show of skill on the colour swatch idea (confused smiley) so you will have to use that imagination of yours.
But if I go with the fabric idea I will get enough to match it up and put it in this bad boy.....


So that it looks like this even badder boy.....


YUM!

Now off to Facebook with you and let me know your favourite

Fancy framing

Oh and for those of you who voted for your favourite frame colour..... I am half way through the final product. Stay tuned

Beach baby!

I love the beach. Any beach anywhere... I love them. One day I want to live right on the beach somewhere in the world. Like open the french doors and be able to step out into a garden that backs onto the beach kind of living.

Over the weekend me and sister Bee took a trip down to Sandbanks in Poole for a little wander...... We didn't pick the best day ever.....


Then I got a little snap happy. I LOVE my camera! Enjoy



Now let me show you this GREAT house that we saw right on the beach, if ever I was to fall in love with the outside of a house this is it!


And it was ten times better with this beauty parked outside.....


I'm just off to find my rich house-funding husband.
Nahhh, just kidding.







Kind of.
