Meet Casper! He’s the newest member of the Taylor family. Casper is named after the friendly ghost. He’s a Bearded Collie, he loves slippers and he’s about 12 weeks old.


That came round fast didn’t it?
I had bigger plans, as ever, to post more and complete more projects. But overall I think I’ve done well this year. I finished the Beardies in Need Christmas cards (I swear I will post about each one soon), finished some pieces in lockdown and even had a stall at a craft fair. It could be worse.
I have one more day at work and then out of office is going on. I think everyone really needs a break this year.
So, let’s ignore the Tier 4 stuff and the fact that so many of us can’t see friends and family. Instead, I’m going to think about what I can have this Christmas.
One thing is, I hope, plenty of time to just do nothing. Maybe Mario kart, maybe a board game, maybe just ditto watching the with a glass of wine and a fire.
Today after work I finished a long overdue Christmas card. It’s going to my parent’s grandparents and includes their two favourite kinds of dogs. It’s been a while since I did a good old fashioned step-by-step post.
If I don’t post again before, I hope that you have wonderful break. It’s been a tough year but, we’ll make it through.
Stay safe everyone.
I thought, “oh I really must post before July ends” only to see a Hello August! post on my Instagram feed.
Another quick one today. I’ve been enjoying doing smaller sketches, I’ve definitely found that it keeps me more motivated.
Here’s an overgrown pup that’s got a bit big for their jumper.
