Up, Up and Away

Weeeeeell I might have missed out on last weeks Handmade Monday, but that doesn't mean I've not been busy...

I started my Love Nature: A Bird A Day series the week before last. I'm honing in on my sketching skills by drawing birds four or five days each week. They will always be birds that I've seen with my very own eyes too. I think there's a bit of a character in all birds when you draw them you know.



The Great Crested Grebe.



On Friday I started making Valentine's Cards. I found a pack of 5 deep pink card and envelopes in the depths of my crafty box and created 5 limited cards - so once they're gone, they are all gone!

 
 
Here's the link to my brand spanking new shop - http://nicolaellenillustrations.bigcartel.com
 
 
 
 
Aaaaaand then yesterday I spent all day getting my website up to scratch. Added new work, changed the style, and organised it a bit better - yep, nice and simple with a few small bits left to add over the course of the week.
 
 
 
 
I have also taken up knitting again - I bought some beautiful baby yellow wool and have started making a scarf. By the time it gets to next winter I am sure it ready hehe! I will post a preview next week.
