Well, this has been a time of much change for me, and unfortunately, the art side of things has had to go on hold whilst I adjust to my new circumstances.

I started a new full time job in August, just at the time my exhibition was due to take place. Although I am working in an office, I'm getting to use my artistic and creative skills at work in the creative department of a food company. Now I have settled in there, I am just beginning to pick up more commission work again after finding the energy in the evenings now I have adjusted to my new routine.
My hubby and I also moved house a few weeks ago (never an easy task), my sister had her first baby and I have been involved in my drama group's latest production of Oliver! (That's why there's a picture of me holding a basket, as I'm being the strawberry seller!).
It's been rather hectic and I've paid the price in the form of a string of chronic illnesses which just keep me feeling below parr.
And there's little respite with the prospect of Christmas looming!

My artistic ambition is to get my entry for the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the year competition done,but I think it'll be a struggle what with everything else (panto rehearsals, Christmas shopping, bla bla...). I've written it here now, so if anyone reads this(?) feel free to hassle me to see if I've started it yet - I need the pressure!
