Ammo Magazine

I was given 4 Ammo Magazines for my birthday.

Ammo Magazines are small books of illustrations and interviews.

Ammo Magazines are open to submissions from any illustrators, and if selected will be asked to make a specific piece for the Magazine.

Fox Necklace

My mum and dad got me this really beautiful fox necklace for my birthday also.

It was made by an art teacher from my old secondary school, and a colleague of my mums.

It is really nicely made and has both smooth and textured parts to create definition and imply a bushy tail.

I liked the more abstract design as it's not immediately identifiable as a fox, its only with a second look you can really see the details.

Last week

As last week consisted of pancake day and Valentine's day I thought I would share a couple of treats we had with you. 

Pancake Day

I've only eaten pancakes about 3 times in my life, all with Tom's family. This year Tom made me help with the making and flipping of the pancakes. They were very tasty and fun to make. 

Valentine's day

This year I bought an M&S £20 deal and in that we had two bottles of sparkling elderflower drink, a starter of two Thai fish cakes with sweet cooking sauce, a main of a rack of lamb with potato rosti, a dessert of raspberry panna cotta, and a little box of heart chocolates.

Moby's Adventure

Every time the weather is nice we let Moby out to have a little roam about. He's a really nervous cat so he never goes further than the neighbours garden, and he's usually popping in and out of the house if and when things scare him. So we were a little confused Sunday morning when Moby had been out for about 15 mins without checking in. We decided to have a little search for him, calling his name. More time passed and we began searching gardens, and the neighbouring streets. Still no Moby. Then we searched the allotments at the end of our road, after still no sign of Moby we were out of ideas, standing outside our house wondering where else to check. Then he is found - inside a neighbours house, he had ran up into her house and up the stairs maybe thinking it was our house, and she had spent about an hour getting him to come downstairs.

Oh Moby, such a scared cat - why would you run into a random person's house!
