One of the highlights of Torquay was a visit to 'Living Coasts'. It's a large coastal conservation site with penguins, seals and marine life. Me and my mum had so much fun there!

Devon Days Part 1
I have not blogged for a while due to my dull life, and total lack of inspiration or creation......But for the past 5 days I have had a well needed break with my mum in lovely Devon, and am now feeling revived. We stayed in Torquay and visited lots of the surrounding little towns. I took lots of photos so here's the first batch....

Violet Creams and a Kipper
Today me and my friend Sarah had a day off, so we went on a little mission to find a new charity shop/warehouse thing we had heard about. It was pretty tricky to get to, on some small back road near the canal in a part of town we don't usually go, but eventually we found it.
It was so cold today, even the canal was frozen.
We were greeted on arrival by Kipper the shop cat!
Outside with my purchases. 2 soup cups. The design on them matches a set of cups and saucers my mum gave me, which she got as a wedding present, so I was happy to find these!
Sarah got a cute little cat jug, but you can't see it very well in this pic.
No day out is complete without a trip to Cocoa. The most beautiful little chocolate shop.
We had hot chocolate and violet creams. The violet creams from there are my favorite chocolates ever! They also do equally dreamy rose creams.
The pretty lady who worked there gave us a free snowman chocolate!

finally I drew something
Here's a sneak a peek at a drawing I did last night and have started colouring on the computer. It's not finished and it wasn't what I had in my head at all, but at least it's something!

Inspiration & frustration
Images from dustjacketattic
I am trying to regain some creativity. Sometimes I want to craft and make things and sometimes I want to draw. At the moment I really want to draw but everything I do is rubbish. I have been trawling the internet for inspiration. In doing so I get really absorbed in a world of images and photographs, which pulls me off in different directions. Hopefully my brain will make sense of all the different ideas swirling around in my head, and engage my hand into drawing something half decent!
