excited

it's not the greatest picture, but is the only one on the estate agents website, i'm still yet to take any myself.
there is an old lady living there at the moment and she is just lovely, she will be leaving some of her furtiner behind which is a great help as we simply wont have the money to buy all new furniture for the house.
what i love most about the house are the gardens, there is around 3 or 4 times the amount of space i have now in my rented house. i cannot wait to get stuck in!! i love gardening, a bigger garden was one of the priorities we had when buying a place.
the house is in a suburb of the city we live in, it's called Cwmrhydyceirw (cum-reed-ee-kie-roo) (i live in wales if you didn't guess) and it means reindeer valley, i think that is so wonderful! :)

we are still patiently waiting to be approved for a mortgage, (dawn i have been reading you journal, i so know what you have been going through with all the waiting to be approved!) and at this rate i think we are looking to move in around early to mid february.... roll on the new year!!


we now have a new addition to our family.... a kitty!

her name is Nimue, well actually she is a he. being a tortoishell we assumed that he would be a girl, (as tortie's are almost exclusively female due to the way the coat colour is inherited)but when we took him to the vet we found out that he is actually a boy. it is very rare. he is kind of a boy and a girl, having three chromosomes - XXY. Basically he is a boy with female characteristics.
we still decided to keep the name Nimue anyhow. we've had him for nearly 3 weeks (he's around 4 months old now) and i can't believe how much he has grown. we adopted him from a cat charity, where he was being fostered, and i am glad to say that he is very happy in his new home.


i've been crazily busy with doing everything for christmas, making presents and decorations and also finally getting round to doing my xmas card design. i've very nearly finished it, and will post up the painting later today if i get a chance.


better leave it there

bring on the bright crisp days of winter!

i had big plans today to do lots of art, but am still yet to even look at my sketch book. i want to try my hand at some ACEO's, challenge myself and see if i CAN paint that small.

i've got this fae floating round my head, she's been there for weeks now. i've sketched her and tried to colour in coloured pencil but didn't like it, then i tried with pastel which looked ok, apart from the eyes.

shes an autumn fae, any is going to be another mixed media piece with autumn leaves and other bits and pieces.

gah! my scanner is being a freak! i want to post up a pick of the sketch but i'm gonna have to reset my pc.
grrrr
ok i'm posting this then will post the sketch in a new entry in a bit

You are a Rose:

You are creative, sensual, passionate, and bold.
You pour your heart into everything that you
do. Alluring and gifted with strong sex appeal,
you very easily draw people in with your animal
magnetism.

Symbolsim: The rose has always been a flower
heavily loaded with symbolism. In general it
symbolizes desire, passion, beauty, and
enchantment.
