Woooo thankyou

Vote, originally uploaded by Champignons.

A belated thankyou for anyone that voted for me in the etsy vote- I wasn't expecting any votes so I didn't bother to campaign but look- I appear to have come second! Woo hoo! thank you :D

And I have been lucky enough to be featured in these beautiful blog posts recently too:

Plus oooooh- it's my 100th blog post!

On more distressing notes, I have not been able to get so much done* (on the computer, anyway) as my monitor seems to have decided that red is a bad colour that it wants noting to do with. If you look in my store you might note that red is a colour of which I am particularly fond, and so not being able to see it impacts my ability to work on the computer somewhat. The screen also has an amazing cyan hue, that has lent an underwater feel to my screen, and given me a strange tic under my left eye. yay

*this is a shame as I really need to make money to pay for the new monitor..

impossible?

Is it an impossibility? I hope not, though sometimes my faith is shaken. Still, I solider on.
What seems to be impossible to me is that it is Friday already! I feel like I just uploaded my last illo. Perhaps its because of the many distractions I face right now, what with it being Easter holidays and being unable to find a sticker in my development book that say 'first learnt to vomit through the bars of the crib so he doesn't have to lie in the wet patch'. I've had to make do with 'first rolled over*'. ho hum.

You can see the other side of the page here: - and no, I still haven't released threads issue 2, another impossibility...

*in order to chunder on the floor.

illo fleeting

This is mostly a testament to the crows on Southampton common, that flee as soon as you turn a camera on them, no matter how close they come in search of scraps of food. The buggers. This fellow is not a crow; he is a rook that I met at Stonehenge, who had the great advantage of staying still for a few minutes (whilst singing me a song of sorts; while technically lacking, no one has taken the trouble to sing to me before, so I appreciated his squawks none the less).

Anyway, you will notice this picture is unfinished- this is because at the moment, my spare time is fleeting. My little munchkin is keeping me busy, indeed. Happy Friday.
