I’m not too sure where this challenge originated from but when I heard that it was about to start again this year, my immediate thought was that it was perfect timing because I’ve been practicing drawing people. Last year I would have shied away from this challenge and stuck to my food sketches. My day […]
5 Reasons to Love Scarborough Beach
In previous posts you’ve heard me say how we moved back to Scarborough a few years ago. We lived here pre-child and pre-marriage about 20 years ago when the Scarborough was considered to be less savoury lets say. Since moving back so much has changed here. We feel like we’ve come home or more to […]
18 Things I’ll Do in 2018
I’m part of a mastermind group and have been for a few years now, run by Amanda Kendle, Social Media Consultant and Travel Writer. When I received Amanda’s December 2017 newsletter it caught my attention because the title of her blog post was “18 Things I’ll Do in 2018”. I wanted to know what Amanda […]

We recently had three overseas sketchers visiting Perth at the same time, one from Malaysia, Singapore and Nairobi. What […]
Urban Sketching : UWA Perth Up Market
Not realising that we scheduled our monthly meet up at UWA (University of Western Australia) on the same day as the Perth Up Market made our sketch meet a serendipitous event. The Perth Up Market was established in 2008 and initially held at the Perth Town Hall but with its growing popularity, the markets moved […]
Rediscovering the Joy of Writing
Writing. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do but either didn’t believe I could or that I had the creativity ability for. As a child I would write stories, fantasy, fairy tales, adventures, write poems, rhymes and limericks. I don’t know when it all stopped. I don’t think it was a sudden moment when it […]
Some Days I just Can’t Be Bothered
It’s just been way too cold to do anything lately. Even going to the park to see my friends is an effort. I do get excited (hmmm, my version of excitement, a couple wags of the tail, a slight alertness in the eyes, my head uplifted and a long stretch from my couching on the […]
