To all the wonderful mums out there....

Happy Mother's Day! 

20% off everything today in my Etsy shop

I hope you all have a wonderful day - brekkie in bed (even if that means soggy cereal and lukewarm tea!) crafty cards made by your little ones, bouquets of chysanthemums (or crepe paper roses)....all of the little things that make Mother's Day so special. 

To celebrate all the mums out there, I'm having a one-day 20% off sale, on everything in my Etsy shop. So if you'd like to treat your mum (or yourself!) head on over here and enter the code 'MOTHERSDAY' at checkout for your discount.

After a big week (which I'll tell you all about on Monday), I'm heading off to visit my lovely mum this afternoon. Hope you all have a great day with your loved ones, and I'll see you all tomorrow.

Belle Bijou

This new painting has been a long time coming. Sometimes, I start four or five paintings at once, and then finish them when the mood takes me. But as bright colour has been the order of the day lately, it was nice to put the finishing touches to this piece.

I thought it would be fun this time to add some wallpaper to the room as well - what do you think? I'm thinking of adding another version without the wallpaper as well, for those who want to add this to their other 'Interior Portraits'.

Now that I have my internet back (for how long who knows, but I'm trying to make the most of it while it lasts) I'm planning on spending some time catching up on all my blog reading. I've missed all your news over the past few days, so I'm looking forward to reading all your posts. 

See you soon,

Kerri
