I thought I had better break up the post as it was going on for ages!

A few friends were in the Jacob’s Well production of Narnia, which was most impressive!

The craft fair happened and made me feel Christmassy!

Not many days are allowed to pass in December without a tree!

I always know when work is getting stressful, as my doodles become more prolific!

Bob (from 2 doors down!) came to visit the studio

Claire and I met Sophie Kinsella (Madeline Wickham) at Waterstones

A trip to London turned up some amusing sights such as this poor man who clearly wasn’t “lovin’ it”!

Hyde Park had a brilliant Winter Wonderland. With an hour to kill before our meeting round the corner, it would have been rude not to pop in…..

Christmassy!

Finally got to our meeting at the Goring. Not too shabby!

The Selfridge’s Christmas entrance

We entered Pink Sky for Young Business of the Year in the Women in Business Awards for 2011

Monty decided that wrapping presents was pretty boring.

Amy S and I went to see a very excited little Ollie at his special school. He had done a Christmas production and they had drinks for the grown ups afterwards.

“Mummy and Naymie see.. OLLIE!”

Then the snow came… Wow! It was so beautiful!!

Buried car!

Nativity

My favourite park

Christmas boots!

Grandma thought it would be a good idea to wear the tea cosy that Aunty Julie had knitted for her. She is also the queen of the “most hilarious present” contest, which is held every year.  This year, my cousin and I are joint winners with:

This piece of ’boutique chic’, a 1969 ‘cologne’ from Avon!!!!  (This was my entry, seriously, you should smell it!!)

My cousin’s entry (and she possibly gets the prize this year) which is the People’s Friend tea towel calendar for 2011!!

Twinkle LOVED Christmas day

I have been poorly all Christmas with a really bad chest infection and, as a consequence, poor Rufus has also been poorly

I missed out on Christmas no.3 with JT’s brother, sister and niece, but they did send me these lovely Cath Kidston sewing bits which I love!

Lego soap bricks in my stocking! How cool??

My present from my parents was this lovely Paul Jenkins hare.  I saw a tiny one in a gallery ages ago and loved it. Unfortunately they are becoming really popular now but I still love them!

Just before Christmas this was how I was getting to work! I even went to a meeting, pulled by Mark on the sledge, much to the amusement of the client who, unfortunately was looking out of the window as we made our clumsy approach!

A sketch from a childhood favourite book… “Not Now Bernard” – I doodled it whilst on the phone on a particularly sticky call!!
