Monday Monday!

I can't believe it is Monday already! Never mind, it is one day closer to next weekend! I had a great time catching up with friends and making lots of Easter cards and a "congrats" card for my Uncle who has just got a new job. I will post pictures later =)

I'm feeling so inspired today - it's a lovely, sunny Spring day, I've been to the Baltic art gallery

and had a look at all the new exhibitions and bumped into a friend I haven't seen since we left school and got talking about our future hopes and dreams, and I have discovered an organisation where I live specifically tailored to recent University graduates who want to start their own businesses! =D I can't believe it! I hope I can make it to all of their events. Its hard working such long days, I miss out on a lot of important stuff!

Hope everyone's had a nice monday!

YES! It's that time of the week again! This weekend I MUST catch up with my orders! As I've been feeling like Spring this week (despite the frosty mornings and bitterly cold nights!) I thought I'd gather some inspiring spring images =)

This weekend I MUST catch up on all my orders! My Mam has asked me to make two Mother's Day cards for my Grandma, one from her and one from my brother and I. I still haven't made one for her yet! I was hoping to get some done to sell but I think I have left it too late =( I'd better get myself prepared now for Easter!

Hope everyone has a lovely Weekend!

Inspiring lunchtime!

Today I decided to go to the Laing Art Gallery on my linch, since I now work 5 minutes walking distance away and I haven't been in ages!



First, I went round all the old exhibits, and then I went round the new bit, which was all about music in the 60's and 70's. (It was called from Bowie to the Beatles) I was amazed that I took a leisurely stroll there, admiring the beautiful spring weather, then walked around all the exhibitions, and took another leisurely stroll back to work and STILL had some of my lunch time left! So I read a magazine and ate an apple =)

Here are some pictures of my favourite paintings. They remind me of my childhood, when I used to go there a lot with my Nanna and then she'd take me to Mark Toneys for ice-cream!

This is called "the Stone Pickers", and my uncle admired this so much he painted his own!

Sodom and Gomorrah - this used to captivate and terrify me! I'm religious, and the thought of making God angry as a kid was something that gave me nightmares!!

And last but not least, my most favourite! Isabella and the pot of Basil. Its a tragic tale of love and I'm a sucker for those!

Hope everyone has had a lovely Thursday!
