Hi Guys and Gals! I am on a bit of a blogging break. I am sure many of you have missed me (or not?) Well I find I am happy as a clam and the urge to blog has left me for the moment. The artistic muse has bitten me and I am doing a lot of crafts. I have gotten heavily into Amigurumi. No that's not a new designer drug. It's actually the Japanese name for crocheting animals. I think something happens to us ladies around the age of forty and we become inexplicably attracted to crochet needles, crafts shops and making cuddly animals. Or is that just me?

I have also started to do some pastel portraits and am even getting some commissions! People just give me a photo and I create art from it. Like these:
So there you have it. I am up to my eyeballs in creativity and hunkering down waiting for Hurricane Irene to strike. Wish me luck.

You and Tony Hart. I want you to be my new best friends.
@Steve....Done. I have Morph on my left shoulder guiding me all the way!
Mumitis at it's finest (your portrait is great!)
Do what makes you smile...
portraits are bloody great.
Cheers, Sausage.
Excellent work!
I've been thinking of you since I saw the news, take care, Emmak.

Stop showing off you fickle how - get back to blogging and talking about knobs this instance.
oh yes - you are a talented and a creative genius! But I prefer when you talk about furry lady gardens.
That is cow not hoe or 'how'
God, I'm so glad Modern MM cleared up that typo - I thought I was seriously behind in the Twitter jargon...
Yes, I'd go with the pastels. I used to knit the same things you're crocheting and let me tell you, most "outsiders" don't appreciate the effort and skill that goes into them. If you get my drift.
Oh, and I used to totally heart Tony Hart. And I will now have that glokenspiel-type music in my head all night long!
...Oh yes, the music from Vision On... I now have that music in my head!

Nice to see you back, complete with cute crochet animals and lovely arty-farty pastels. Could you do rude crochet things and naughty pastels and then I'd feel more at home here? ;-)

You're adorable, Emma.
I have zero artistic skills. Your painting looks great.
Don't give up the day job ;)
Oh Emma. Put down these needles and start writing again!! We miss you.
Metropolitan Mum...Oh I don't spend all day knitting!! I have a lot of irons in the fire! Just enjoying being all Zen ....
Where are you? Has someone tied you up against a tree with crocheting wool???
