Snow Days

Well we had snow all over Easter which was great fun, especially walking Ellie in it. Her first time in the snow and boy she did not like it lol.



This is Ellie in our back garden trying to make a run for it to go back indoors lol! We are off to puppy training tonight, it'll be our second class, I'm looking forward to it.

Yay! My New Toy Has Arrived!!!

Hi Everyone
I am so excited my new camcorda just arrived so I will now be able to do videos with sound and you will actually be able to see me lol

Now I've just got to figure out how it works!

My first offline class went really well today, I taught a class on basic sewing and it was great fun. If you would like to take a class with me but would prefer online I am now offering classes. I have two available atm which you can sign up for and I plan to do more in the coming months.

Quick Update

I just wanted to let you know that I am moving all my art to my Etsy shop and will have all my website content now here at this blog.

I decided I needed to simplify it all and this seemed the best solution, you can reach this blog by using any of my urls:

http://www.thevintageartist.com/blog/blog/blog/blog/blog
http://www.vintageartist.co.uk
http://thevintageartist.co.uk

I have two new paintings on the go right now which is really exciting, one is virtually finished and the other has a bit more work to do. They are going to be my entries for our local Art Exhibition in April but I will be offering them as prints at my Etsy store and more origianl paintings will be ready very soon.

Have a great rest of the weekend!
