It’s been a long time since I made words creatively, so to celebrate the fact that last weekend I added a few hundred words to a short story I’ve been picking away at for years, I thought I’d share the first half of that story here 🙂 Hope you enjoy it! Warm steam filled the […]

I’ll be honest, these are not strictly from within the last month, but creative-outside-of-work is a scarce resource right now, and I haven’t shared these yet, so here we are. I had school holidays for 3 weeks back in July, and as well as recovering from the Gluten Death Challenge, I started working on the

Another quick board sketch today, since that’s all I got. A student made a comment about the line in Romeo and Juliet that starts with, “Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo”, saying that they always expect the line to go, “Romeo, Romeo, let down your hair.” Naturally, I had to illustrate it B-) Read more:The

Today, random sketching. Finally finished reading Macbeth with my class and we had ten minutes left of class. They’d come in the day before from art all keen and drawing-y, so I was like, cool, let’s illustrate! As some of you will remember, Macbeth is described at the end of the play as the ‘dead

Made this one a few weeks ago for a friend’s daughter’s party. The inspo picture they provided was a fondant cake, and they resignedly said that they didn’t like fondant, but assumed that to get the look they wanted, they’d just have to put up with it. But no! I assured them. This is a

Shockingly enough, this week we are back to cakes! It’ll be cake next week too, as I’m running one behind for you at the moment 🙂 Anyway, this was a super quick one I made for my husband to take to work. As Liana helpfully pointed out, it does indeed look like I put a

Just a quick one today. Mr BoyChild had a Harry Potter day at school holiday care last week, which we were both super excited about (he got to make a wand and have broom races and everything). I was even *more* excited when the Gryffindor tie I’d ordered for him a month ago arrived *exactly*

Quick lil unicorn cake this time for the family birthday girl, who has been unicorn-obsessed since before they were popular <3 (Clearly not influenced by her mother, ah ha ha no way.) I’ve been sick all week with a horrible cough on top of the whole gluten-induced misery, so I literally only baked the cake

So, I’m kind of claiming this one even though I only kind of made it, but I SUPERVISED, DARN IT, SO HA. Kid 1 had to make an alpaca for school. I remembered this the day *after* the recycling had been collected, and we had nothing in the house… Except fabric scraps! So I taught
