SO Bracing...

Well, the weekend is nearly over, and I don't know about you lot but my thoughts are turning to the coming week.  Whilst the 9-5 will no doubt dominate the next five days, I'm feeling newly motivated to get on with my creative pursuits.  Why?  Well, I've just had a rather inspiring weekend in Skegness.  Yes, really...

Laura goes pro...

So talented. So inspiring. So...

productive!

You see, my friend and fellow graduate of Visual Arts at Keele University, Laura Stamps, has put together a show of her work in the theatre at her seaside home town.  Not only that, but she's managed to get it all together around the demands of her day job - and pulled it off with aplomb.  I was really impressed by the professionalism of the show, down to the advert in the theatre's brochure, and the sheer amount of work she has created.  In short, I'm damn proud of her - and perhaps a little bit envious too.  But not as much as I am inspired...

Ommazing!

Still. Not. Quite. There...

This week I have managed to do some creating myself.  Whilst I'm still not 100% happy with the painting above, I'm rather chuffed with how my yoga mat bag turned out.  Next week, however, I shall be returning my focus to the writing.  My latest short story is poised for posting right here on the website and my top secret project is well and truly underway.  Watch this space...

Anyway, I'm off to have a soak in the tub before calling it a night.  All that sea air has taken it out of me!

Laters :)
