Hello there

If you're feeling that you've *already* heard enough talk of sales. then please feel absolutely free just to enjoy this week's bright and cheerful watercolour poinsettias.

If you *are* into sales...

If you *are* into sales, then it would be remiss of me not to mention that:

♥ My designs on Pixels are 20% off most items until December 2nd 2025 with coupon code: XPRDFU

(For instance, these poinsettias especially suit greeting cards and Christmas ornaments, ;-) ).

Update on Dec 1st 2025-my Craftsuprint sale has now ended.

♥ For crafters-all my main poinsettia design sheets are already 20% off , *and*

My entire Craftsuprint store will be 20% off from November 27th-30th 2025 inclusive

♥ Redbubble, Zazzle and Spoonflower discounts and sales may still be buzzing about, but utterly beyond my control.

I did though, want to show you the alternative design option for these poinsettias, which I'm really liking on, eg:

This all-over print tote-bag at Redbubble, and

Red and Green Poinsettias 
All-Over Print Tote Bag

Red and Green Poinsettia Fabric

-Fabric and other items at Spoonflower.

And finally...

And there you have it. Thank you so much for reading down this far.

 I'll just wish you a great week, whatever you end up doing with it. 

More soon-of the distinctly non-salesy variety.

Quick Sketch of a Corgi

Hello there

It's Friday, but very hard to know what, if anything, to post on a day like this. 

Here in London, the atmosphere is so...quiet.

Whatever a person's opinion about royalty as a concept, anyone who spent 70 years  opening hospitals and listening to pontificating politicians at dull dinners,  deserves at least a nod, and thanks for their service.

That got me to thinking about, by contrast, how important and enjoyable her corgis might have been for her. 

So, in very much a change to the post I was planning this week, here's a digital line and wash painting of a corgi. It was a quick affair, this morning, obviously,  in Krita.

Quick corgi sketch-download here

 But I hope it makes you smile. And feel free to use it if you need it in a project, either now, or later.

More soon.

Grateful: Free Clip Art/ Ecard for Thanksgiving/Gratitude

Click, right-click or tap to download this graphic

Hello there.

Well, that was a longer break than was meant, and I ended up really needing to recover. This is ongoing, but I couldn't go another day without posting...Especially as I know that if you're in the US, it's Thanksgiving this Thursday  soon (apologies for my lack of knowledge here in the UK), and so a freebie around gratitude is in order.

(And for the rest of us-there's never a bad day to be grateful, is there?)

This is  also one of the first pieces of anything at all have created for nearly two weeks, and not least because I am feeling immensely grateful for all the help, love and support have received, and for having more energy day-by-day.

So this image is yours to download and use, in line with my angel policy.

Or, if you need something more solid, it also looks great on magnets, stickers and other items at Redbubble. 

Here's to gratitude-and a good week for all of us. Thank you for being here.

More soon.

PS. For another freebie on a similar theme, you can also have a look at this post.

Hope something helps one way or another, and have a great day.

Cute Scottie Dog Sketch in Krita

 

This cute little Scottish terrier is my Day Five Sketch-A-Day (done stroke by stroke in Krita digital illustration  software). And yes, he will be available on lovely items to buy soon. Happy Monday!

New Digital Painting: "Lilacs"

Whenever the world feels turbulent (and there's a lot of it about as I'm writing) something in me decides, most determinedly, to spend a little time in a world of whimsy. 

And so, whilst it might or might not be spring for you as you're reading this, please let yourself do the same. And allow the colours of these spring lilacs to be a part of your world, too.

If you fancy putting the feeling of this into, your life, these lilacs also look gorgeous on an easy-hang Displate metal poster.

Have a great weekend, and more soon.

New: Illustrated Byron Quote

Apologies. Thought I'd already posted the illustrated version of an inspiring Byron quote.

Turns out that I'd forgotten to do so... (though it is already in the shop).

It's also one of my answers to the "Rainbow" prompt for "Creative Every Day 2016".

Anyway, apologies again and enjoy.
