I've long admired Ross Chapin, an architect based in Seattle who designs homes on a diminuitive yet lovely scale....
Would would not want a place called Plum Cottage, after all?

The other architect I admire lately designs the modern-day versions of gypsy caravans, though as my better half points out, living in one with 2 small children might be less of a fairytale...still, I'm sure they'd be fun for short-term!

We're busy planning our little girl's 5th birthday party...hard to believe she will be 5 already. So here is the invite so far (minus the text)...

My lovely friend Kimi supplied this one...I don't know anything about the person who wrote/said it, but it really makes me get that 'never give up' feeling...

Watercolour and Aquarel pencils, 1997

Just revisiting an old painting I did many, many years ago - is it really 13 years already? Anyway, it's nice sometimes to look back at work I've done in the past that I don't actually cringe at completely, and makes me feel inspired to do more...
