Stick 'em Up!

They used to tell me not to draw on my hands in school... Ya know what I say... "Stick 'em Up!"

Yes I was just doodling and drew this on my hand lol... anyone who messes with me today get's blown away!

Banus with the Bambina

I'm back from Spain after a lovely relaxing sunny couple of weeks... And tactically managed to avoid most of the torrential downpours in London *Phew*

It's all just Speculation...

Business up front...

Party in the back...

Happy Belated Easter

From my little Bunny & friends

I'm an Angel... Honest!

Keep Calm and Drive Me Home

It was one of those nights haha...

#Drawsomething

Yeah I'm addicted... here's a few of the scribbles I did last night... if you're on it add me "SuperAbs" (but don't expect all my pics to be master pieces... my creativity and patience is limited by time & mood lol)

Mischief at the Playboy Club

What Girls Really Do While Getting Ready

LOL soooo true!

My little lady is 4

It was Bella's birthday last Sunday, we had a fantastic party for her, face painter, bouncy castle, entertainer and a LOT of cake! Must say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came and made the day so special for her, she loved every minute.

I can very highly recommend Dotty the entertainer, the kiddies were mesmerised in fits of giggles!

New tattoo

So I've been thinking about getting a new tattoo for a while now, and I've decided on a swallow, black & grey, on my left side, on my ribs just under my bra/bikini... I've been debating this for a year or so... Unlike my first tattoo which I bunked off school to get, and chose on the day what I thought was a very original Chinese symbol on my hip (thankfully I have now had that laser removed... haha see mum, tattoo's don't have to last forever)

But anyway... my lovely friend Carl has sort of photoshopped the design I want onto a pic of me to give a rough idea how it'll look (see below) The swallow pic underneath is a close up of the design I'm thinking of... Feel free to encourage or try and talk me out of it...

Will you Marry Me?

Joke!!! Haha leap year or not I'm a hopeless romantic and firm believer that the guy should ask the girl... I am nowhere near tying the knot... But with all this talk of proposals I thought I'd post this video which I thought was really touching. I don't even know the couple, but if one day I say "I do" to the man of my dreams I kinda hope I have a wedding video like this... slightly alternative in a chilled and simple yet sentimental way.

This is another little gem I stole from Danny Kelly

Young Love

I met up with an old friend recently and we had a lot to catch up on, he's a philosophical soul, and as we giggled over our pints of cider we discussed life. Our opinions contrasting yet complementing each other, he has lived his life by the beach in sunny California, where as I have always lived on the outskirts of London.

We talked about love and relationships past and present, and where I still find myself very much dazed and confused by the subject, he did offer a moment of clarity when he exclaimed... We are all just searching for young love, the love you fall head over heels into without caution or hesitation, where you love passionately and freely with all of your heart blissfully unaware of any of life's pressures or responsibilities. Unfortunately this kind of love rarely lasts and when it ends it scars us. We then go on to yearn not for that person but for the feeling we had when we were with them. But experience and wisdom teaches us not to be so reckless with our hearts for fear of being hurt again. We build metaphorical walls of protection around us and make those who want to love us work hard to get in. And as we grow up, making lives for ourselves our priorities change, and love is never the same, it takes a back seat to work, obligation and responsibility... Young love becomes a hazy memory, a dream.

It makes sense however much I'd like to believe I can prove the theory wrong. I suppose I too am afraid of falling so deeply in love that love itself has the power to drown you. Can you emerse yourself so deeply in another without suffocating? And can you really trust another person if you make them responsible for your happiness? I guess I'll have to wait and see... Bob Marley once said "The truth is everyone's going to hurt you, you just got to find the ones worth suffering for"

My Art II

I've been busy painting the last few months, here are a few finished pieces and a couple of "works in process" please contact me for stock lists or commissions... I also paint murals on walls & ceilings etc... you can see some of my other work Here

Today is that day!

Nothing is going right today... and when someone asked me outside Bella's Ballet class if I was ok I thought I was going to burst into tears! Why is it when you're feeling a little emotional the more people ask if you're ok the more upset you seem to get... Brave face Abby *sniff sniff*

Planes Trains & Automobiles...

Sometimes I like train journeys, I very rarely sit still for this long with nothing to do but contemplate life!

Drunk Yoga?

Saturday nights sometimes get a little crazy at my house lol...

Freeze your ass off and build a Snowman!

Our snowman Walter

Well and truly snowed in!

Bella my little Snow Bunny LOVED it!

Today I'm wearing...

I'd really like to start doing a "Today I'm wearing" feature on my blog but seriously in this FREEZING weather, fashion takes a back seat to pure layers... feeling a bit like the episode from Friends where Joey puts on all Chandlers clothes "Could I BE wearing anymore clothes" haha Brrrr...

My little Tiger

Bella loves fancy dress... this morning she has decided to be a Tiger!
