Bringing Back the Bacon

Well, you know what they say...the more space you have, the more you put in it! 
I'm currently being overrun by pigs. As if it wasn't already enough with the dogs, cats hens, sheep and cattle. My new studio is now bursting at the seams.

These little porkers have no manners and will eat anything that isn't nailed down!
That includes the paint which explains the unusual breed colours.
Now where's my shovel...

Moving Home

It's finally happened. I need more room for my animals so I've been preparing a bigger space in which to work. I moved into a larger studio this week with the aim of working more efficiently. It has caused a little disruption but I hope to be back up to speed shortly.
In the meantime I have been developing a few new ideas and they are currently in production. I hope to have something to show shortly.

A big hello to you all over the world who have been showing an interest in what I am doing. It is very flattering. I hope you like what you have seen.

The drying racks.

My well-used work space

I will have more pieces ready to view in my next post. Bye for now.

The Hills Are Alive......

with the sounds of mooosic!  Daisy, Dora and Buttercup are very excited as Angus is travelling down from Aberdeen this weekend. Hopefully someone will see how well suited they are and want to adopt all four of them!  There has also been much frolicking in the field this week, as 'The Jersey Boys' have been rehearsing their latest rendition. A tour is planned, hopefully before they get snapped up. Rabbit season is upon us, but as yet, only a hare has appeared (and it won't be around long if the Greyhound Boys see him first)!


 More news from the farm coming soon...

A Spring in the step

Butterflies are in the air, birds are singing, the lambs are leaping - the farm is being kept very busy. Mother Hen has introduced her two latest editions (Chirpy & Cheep Cheep). Also 'Three little kittens' have appeared this week, looking very adorable and desperately needing a new home. Other animals are becoming inquisitive, trying to get in on the action so watch this space.... Must dash off now as it is feeding time (for me)!

Party Girls

These girls will celebrate at the drop of an egg. They've got on their best sparklies and they're out to ruffle a few feathers. Who needs a handbag to dance around with eggs like this! Watch out for more capers at a gallery near you.

Best of Show

All the hours of brushing have paid off. My pampered pooches have come back home from Crufts with best of show, best of breed and best of the rest! I've so many rosettes it's looking like a florist's shop.

Here's the dogs posing for the inevitable press photographers. Please bear with me while I wipe back the tears.....

A Very Special Delivery

That's done it Now that the cats and dogs have had a piece of the limelight-they all want to get in on the act! Visiting the coup this morning we noticed that our feathered friends have been busy. Feathers have been flying and there's lots of gossip about the new arrivals.Talk about the golden goose. The hens have gone one better and the results are below.
