More animal fun!

Two new illustrations this week. Happy mothers day mum! I took inspiration from another one of our school runs I do with little Liv! She's so cute and loves being high up on my shoulders when we walk back up the path.

Liv calls these foxes but initially they were intended as squirrels.
Take them as you wish :)

And this illustration I did for my friend Sandra's babyshower. She's German, likes football and son number one likes lions so I couldn't resist to put it all together into this print for the new baby!

And then there were 3!

Valentines day certainly changes when you have kids... 

but the love keeps on growing! Have a lovely day peops :)

School Run

A little something from my sketchbook this week. My daughter's just started nursery school and it's a pleasant short walk from home. She's fascinated by all the noises around her; birds, chainsaws, cars. You name it we have to stop and identify each one! :)

Pin the tail...

This week my little girl went to a Dino themed birthday party. I thought I'd contribute to the games... Here's my "pin the tail on the Dino" for Frankie, Age 2.

Working mummy!

Hi Guys, hope you're all doing well. It's been a while since I blogged, I have to say! After a few months off having my lovely Olivia, I've been thrown back into a new colouring book thanks to the lovely people at Usborne. So I'm mummy by day, illustrator by night which is hard work but lots of fun :) Naturally I'm having to keep the drawings hush hush but I'll be updating you all when it's out, V. Excited! For now here's a little doodle I did the other day for my brother who very kindly lent us lots of baby things!

Little Olivia

A long awaited beauty - My daughter Olivia Leelawadee Crichton 

Born 27th October 2012 9lbs 10 0z

Having been conceived on our cherished trip to Thailand, we chose Olivia's middle name "Leelawadee" - from the Thai word for the Frangipani flower :) Already a little character, I think she's set to inspire many a future illo! Welcome to the world of blogging little one! x

Time to nest

With just over a week to go till our new arrival, I'm feeling more and more like an animal. Yesterday my walk resembled that of a large penguin. Today I think I'm preparing to nest, perhaps in a drawer somewhere, like a cat! The countdown to becoming a mum begins... Will keep you posted!

Something a little different in my 2012...

For followers who may not know, here's a little extra something
 happening in my world! It's all rather exciting!
