Goodbye 2010...


...I can't say I'm too sad to see you go.

2010 was a real mixed bag.

I lost sweet Tom the cat to cancer, dearest Ziggy, my dog, to heart disease and poor Mrs Grey the chicken to...well, we're not sure what.
I gained two beautiful kittens, Will and Lyra and the two surviving chickens, Mr. Brown and Mrs. Black, and they are all in good health (despite Will fracturing his leg).
The latest addition to the family is on the left, so meet Dexter. 10 weeks old, mother a maltese terrier, father unknown and utterly adorable. A lovely way to bring the year to a close.

A big thank you to all of you who follow my blog and my work, and who support me in my artistic endeavors - you know who you are. It would be very hard for me to continue without you so it is very much appreciated. It's been a tough year but 2011 is looking very exciting and I can't wait to get started!
A very Happy New Year to everyone!!
