MISS FUNKY and the FUNKY GEEGEE'S !!: January 2014

Well helloooooooo my funky fans :)

And I would like to take this opportunity to

wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR :)

Gosh, It has been a really long time since i posted last. Eeeeeek and Ooooops. I Didn't mean to leave it so long to post but I've just had sooooo much going on with Baby funky starting school (OMG . . . . Emotional wasn't the word, Seeing her in her little uniform and waving goodbye to my baby and picking up my big girl was a Yank at every emotional string there was inside of me, Both Children at school, Huuuuuge emotional Milestone. It was very tough for me, but i'm getting used to it slowly, and filling my time slowly and getting into new routines as you have to, just curb and adapt to change the best you can . Looking at the positives, I have more time now to create lots and lots of funkyness : )

Then once i got over the initial shock of that, I found myself not very well for a while and took some time to get back on my feet, So of course not much happened creatively for a while.
And then the Christmas build-up Absolutely brilliant, but busy, busy. Coupled the emotions of Both Children in their Christmas nativity, THIS WAS A TOUGH ONE . . . . . Eeeeeek teary moment indeed. But i survived hahahaha, and i must admit after the mayhem of Christmas, tiredness has allowed me to enjoy the time now they are back at school after their Christmas break. We have had a fantastic time, really have enjoyed every single magical moment with them. Making memories :)

So a good start to the winter, Magical memories and making plans.

So then what are the plans for 2014 with the Funky GeeGee's ??

Well I sat after the New Year, with my coffee as i debated over ever letting another drop of alcohol pass my lips (I had a few drinks at New Year and lets say the next day was just not worth it hahahaha).

ANYWAYS . . . . I wrote down a list of the things i'd like to achieve in 2014, I think i got bit carried away, and well maybe ive planned the next decade. But hey . . . . At least I'm forward planning hahahaha. Anyways, re-evaluating my list into priorities and deciding what,where, when, who, and how well I have now devised myself a canny little work planner to get through week by week. Ive also made time to have time off from creating to write, and expand on my photography skills. Im also going to make my health my main priority, i really need to keep myself in a healthy routine this year and not try and do 100001 at once.

So 2014 I plan to hopefully FINALLY get this book finished, I also have another book written that I need to illustrate which I hope to publish in 2014 ( If life behaves itself, and time takes it's time hahaha ).

I also had a think of what paintings I would like to do this year, And last year my theme was SUMMER FUNKY HOLIDAYS so i was thinking this year we would be a little more traditional but just as FUNKY, and just as many Giggles :)

This years theme is going to be ' INSIDE THE MIND OF THE COMPETITION HORSE' As we journey through the seasons, from the Weekly showjumping qualifyer to the Big County fair with all the hustle and bustle and mayhem we will find there :)` It's guarenteed to be full of Giggles, and hopefully plenty of chance for reminissing.

I'm really looking forward to these, And im hoping to capture the seasons from winter through spring and summer and beyond. With mishap, mayhem and madness all along the way.

So, Id like to share with you my work from the End of 2013, A very Christmasy time indeed :) ENJOY :)
