March Sketchbook

Hi everyone,

I hope you're well and staying safe.

I've been so inspired lately by artists I follow. For months now, I've been wanting to get back into my art but I have been too scared to. I continuously compare myself when I know I shouldn't - everyone is different, I know & preach this! In the end (after a few really dud doodles), I'm pretty chuffed with what I've done so far. I've taken inspiration from flowers (due to their beautiful colours) and I have used Pinterest for images of animals to sketch. Being happy with my work so far has really spurred me on to do more and more. Even small amounts during breaks at work.. I have no idea where all of this has come from but I hope it's here to stay! I want to create more and more to share with you guys and create a nice community here.

Fingers crossed (!!!) that I continue it to develop my skills, create more content, and do something I love for you all in this little corner of the world. For years now I've tried to do various posts on my blog and I decided a while ago that I need to stay true to what I enjoy and what inspires me (which honestly is a little bit of everything!) and I hope you guys all enjoy too!

From art to spirituality, from makeup to reading - there'll be plenty to choose from here, I'm sure!

Stop me from rambling.. Below, I have my sketchbook journey so far, just a couple of images to show my growth in a few days. Feel free to giggle at the shocking, childlike attempts I started with. I'm so happy to see my growth in the short period of time and work on my strengths.

I mean - what did I think I was doing here?! 

I mean - there are a few which I haven't shared but that's to save my embarrassment! They were just too bad!! Here's to continuing my motivation and I'll keep up with you guys on how I get on.

Stay safe everyone and speak soon,

George

Moving Home

Hi everyone,

I hope you're well!

Long time no inspiration but here we go again! I have an update and hopefully this will then become a little series..

I'm jumping on that property ladder this year and buying my own home with my other half. I'm far more excited than I could ever imagine, I tell you. It's been non-stop Pinterest searching from the moment we put the offer down.

Everything is taking it's time but running fairly smoothly I'd say. Everyone has been super helpful to us; we have a few bits and pieces already filling our current homes. I never knew I'd be so excited about crockery!

We have planned to decorate each room, to put our personal touch on the place. It's going to be so cosy and welcoming to us and any guest we invite along. I'm doing as much reading I can, (look out for my booklist post coming soon!), so that I can create a peaceful and loving environment with a little bit of magic.

Like I mentioned, I will probably do a mini series on here about each room. Inspiration, colours, themes, etc. We have a million and one ideas going through our heads so I'm excited to have the end result soon.

It's a cute and cosy home with enough space for me and the other half. We're honestly obsessed and talk about it non-stop.

If you want to follow me on Pinterest to have a sneak peak at our ideas then I'll pop a link below for you guys! I love looking at home improvements and house inspiration around the web; so, I'm hoping to create a little bit of sunshine and creativeness in my corner of the world.

Whilst waiting for the big move, I'm hoping to continue with my creative streak. I'm proper back into my art again, which is amazing. I'm also doing cross stitch and other creative bits to keep my mind at ease.

I'm also trying, (as you can see in this post) to get back into blogging and my social space. In this time of confusion and mild panic, it's fab to have a space where I can stay positive, creative and motivated. That's something I will continue (hopefully!) to do, as I sure love being creative in more ways than one.

Stay safe guys, and speak soon,

George
