Jammy and Jelly



January 11, 2014

I’ve been following Emily’s blog Jammy and Jelly for quite a while now and thought it was such a cool idea that she asked her readers to tell her their New Years resolutions and she would draw them.

I don’t know that I’ve written anywhere here on my blog but my resolution of sorts is to get things done this year. This is the year that I do all of the little things I’ve been putting off, like properly learning to use my digital SLR (kindly illustrated by Emily above) and actually learning how to knit and crochet with the how to books I’ve bought. I tend to get very flighty with projects, well not this year! If I set out to do something (especially if I buy supplies for said something) then I’m going to work at doing it.

 I asked Emily a few questions about herself and her illustrations so I could introduce you to her a little more, because I think everyone should go and check out her drawings!
1) How long have you been drawing and illustrating?
I did the first illustration on my blog a couple of months into having it… it’s an awful, scribbly little thing about a ‘Body Shop purchase’…it’s still buried up on my website somewhere! It might be quite embarrassing now – but I’m so glad I decided to pop that sketch up, it meant my blog finally had some sort of direction – before that it was just weird little posts where I attempted a bit of interior(?!?) and beauty blogging… and now I’m obsessed with drawing up all of the embarrassing funny little things that happen to me daily.
2) What tools/supplies do you use for your illustrations?
I still use the same watercolour set from my very first painting – and it’s got a lot of life left in it yet! I think it was a birthday gift? There’s only one brush with the set as well, but it does the trick!
3) Have you ever/would you consider doing commissions for people?
I have done a couple of commissions (even a portrait for a wedding!) and have lots of plans to do more! The information should be up on the website soon so watch this space 🙂
4) What are five random facts about yourself you’d like to share.
5 random facts about myself? That’s tricky. I studied to be a ballet dancer (definitely random), have a ridiculous sense of humour, an incredible family (an older brother and an older sister if thats interesting at all?), my hair really is as curly as I say, and… I go to the cinema an unhealthy amount.
If you want to go say hi to Emily and catch up on the resolutions she’s been drawing (which I highly recommend you do) you can find her on her blog Jammy and Jelly, or pop by her twitter.
What are some things you’ve been putting off that you want to accomplish this year?

These two have been thick as thieves today chasing These two have been thick as thieves today chasing each other round the house, cornering ants and looking for birds in the window. Sometimes they want nothing to do with each other (well, Claude wants to get away from Remy) so it’s cute when they pal around.

On the opposite side to the amenities at Clumber Park there is a huge woodland with seemingly unlimited different paths you can take. We are so lucky to have this gorgeous place to close by.

We also got a new bin unit behind it and used the same piece of wood. It just brightens up the kitchen and makes it feel more homey! Now to get rid of that wallpaper...

No it’s not Stonehenge, it’s The Druids temple No it’s not Stonehenge, it’s The Druids temple (or William Danby’s folley) in Ripon. It’s said that wealthy landowner William Danby hired local workers to build this not so prehistorical stone circle to help with unemployment in the area. It’s set on the grounds of Swinton Estate with some walking paths with sweeping views over a reservoir and the valley. There’s also amazingly cute cabins we want to stay in once we are able to again!
