Chocks away. . .

Chocks away and here I go...  I decided last week that I needed a website to showcase my portfolio and get my name out there as an Illustrator for children's books. A friend of mine suggested that I use Wordpress themes.  Jolly good I said and merrily went off to look up Wordpress etc and launch into creating my very own professional looking website that will attract a flock of publishers. I was all fired up and excited, this was going to be a piece of cake.  All the blurb says it's easy peasy lemon squeezy.  The website creating bit not the attacking of publishers bit.

AGGGGGGGGGGGGG.....I couldn't even get passed the filling out my name properly.  I had to download Wordpress then open it then find the zipper to unzipper it. Then what to do? Which theme to choose, still haven't worked that one out.  I've tested a few but they won't let me do what I want to do. At some point I decided I needed a teenager but my teenager has gone to Uni, far away from Mummy.  So I can't even haul her cute little bottom back here and get her to do it for me.

I've spent hours, scratching my head, drinking cups of tea and staring at Wordpress pages and I've decided that suddenly I'm as thick as a brick.  I'm a dummy :(    and I'm stuck.

So for now I'm looking to thin out my brick and undummy myself.  I know I have a brain, I'm sure I do. It's here somewhere, I just can't remember where I put it.  I think I'll have a cup of tea and think of a Plan B...

That's my Fun and Nonsense for this week.

Black or White. . .

Things are seldom black or white...these two sad characters popped up in my sketchbook this week. They haven't uttered a word, so I have no idea what the problem is, if there is a problem or if I can fix it, if it needs fixing....maybe they like being sad.  Thankfully I have lots of happy people in my sketchbook, hopefully they will cheer these two up... :)

That's my Fun and Nonsense, what's happening in your world? xx

Sitting on a cloud. . .

It's the weekend and I can't think of anything I'd rather do than sit on a white fluffy cloud and watch the world go by and wait for a little inspiration...

What Fun and Nonsense are you upto this weekend... I'm also floating off to see Lottie at Paper Saturday, come with me... xx
