I just can't help myself

I seem to have come across all spring feverish. 

Procrastination

I'm liking geometric patterns at the moment.It must be their undemanding nature.

Tentative

I feel hopeful about spring.

Small joys

I am a firm believer in the magic of hot beverages to calm any situation. More tea should be served at war cabinets, peace talks and saloon gun battles. When combined with a chocolaty looking biscuit the effect can be very civilizing. Plus no one can pull a gun or make a rude gesture when you have a biscuit in one hand and a cup of tea in the other, at least not without getting a withering look from the hard working tea-lady...and no one wants that.

Deer duel

Flame lily

Pretty but poisonous.

Mini chickee

My teeny-tiny chicken figurine. It is so little it must have been made by elves or fairies...or small children in a factory. It all depends on how whimsical I'm feeling. Today: no very.  

Tasseography

Go on, have some tea, I bet you've earned it... but make sure to watch out for any ominous shapes at the bottom of your cup. they could be signs of imminent disaster! Although Wikipedia assures me there is no scientific evidence that the future can be predicated through these patterns. So rest easy...unless you get a raven-shaped tea blob, then it's all death and despair and dead puppies. Okay maybe not the puppies, but I'm pretty certain about the rest.

Rainbow

It's been raining a lot here recently. Biblical amounts , I'm pretty sure I've been seeing more animals going around in pairs with smug ' I know something you don't know' expressions on their whiskered faces ...and then there's that big boat... Anyhoo , the upside to all this rain is you get some pretty spectacular rainbows. No CGI, WIFI , or 3D glasses required just your eyeballs , a little sunlight and some rain. Everyday ordinary magic.

Something unexpected

An inkblot I did for a book about reading tea-leaves and telling fortunes.

On closer inspection

I used to like pigeons...

Baby blackbird

Mint

I like the minty colour in the background. I'm sure she likes it too.

Orchid

Some sort of ridiculously extravagant orchid.That blooms once every hundred years...but only if no ones looking.

Milk and flowers

 Tiny flower pattern I found on the side of a milk jug.

Wildlife photographer

A gift from my lovely husband and butterfly stalker extraordinaire.

Flowers for a Grand lady

What ? Not Edgy enough you say ? In this case, that's probably for the best. I don't know the last time my gran knitted me a skull festooned jumper, or commented on how much she 'digs' neck tattoos - which would be awesome but realistically is never going to happen. So...yes, she gets flowers. I feel it's a solid choice.

Coco loco

I have been obsessed with cuckoo clocks for a while now, it's something I don't really talk about. I like to lure people in with a false sense of normality before I release my quirks upon them. It's worked for me so far. *Please note : I did in fact act play a cuckoo in my preschool Nativity production. I was not aware that there was a cuckoo at the birth of Christ , but the outfit was bright blue with workable wings ( it was the wings that sold it ! )  so I let the historical inaccuracies slide.

Birds birds birds birds

This is a pattern I made ages and ages ago, when dinosaurs roamed and it was safe to drink the water. Ah good times.

Bonsai!

Tiny trees, one day I will free you.
