My latest life drawing sketch

Hello everyone. I hope that you're all well.

Just a quickie to show you all my latest life drawing sketch. I loved working on this one, it's a 40 minute sketch. If we ever won the lotto I think I would have a list of life models who would be on call 24/7 so I could get my fix of life drawing! Ha ha, maybe I'd throw in a couple of exotic holidays or two as well.  :  )

Good morning followers!
I hope eveyone is having a good Friday so far and looking forward to the weekend.
I thought I'd do a quick blog post to show my latest life drawing pic. I really enjoyed drawing this onto the coloured paper but found it a bit of a struggle to get the depth in the darker areas. I think I'll be experimenting a little more with my media next time.
Hmmm, I wonder what my chances are of getting my hubby to strip off so I can draw him?! Probbaly slim at best!
On that note, have a great weekend folks!

Jenny's Christmas designs featured in Cross Stitch Crazy

Hi everyone. I hope you're all having a good weekend so far. It's our half term now...let the madness and mayhem begin!
 I received my lovely copy of Cross Stitch Crazy this week. It's jam packed full of Christmas designs including my carol singers designs.  I'm wondering when we'll get our first carol singers this year. Can you believe they came in November last year!! Yes...NOVEMBER! I hate to sound miserable but my husband told them to come back in December. Needless to say, we didn't see them again!


Here's a sneak preview of my designs anyway I hope you all like them.

Jenny's latest sketches

Hello all. Well, it's a beautiful day here in York. I'm enjoying it whilst I can as rain is forecast for tomorrow (or so our lollipop lady reliably informed me this morning anyway so it must be right!)
I had another enjoyable life drawing class last night. Here's one of my sketches, I thought it best not to post onto facebook as I didn't want anyone's children seeing my naked man on their parents accounts!


I've also uploaded my (child friendly!) owl sketch. I much prefer drawing animals to people but think it's probably down to needing more practice. Hmmmm, I wonder if a cross stitch design of a naked man will be very popular?!.......

Bye for now everyone and enjoy the rest of the day  :  )

Jenny's update!

Hello everyone.
I've been lovely and busy with commissions over the past few weeks so I've not had a great deal of time to dedicate to my website. However, I've started working on some new charts which should be appearing soon (both as dowloads and charts by post) so watch this space!
In the meantime, here's a picture drawn by myself in my life drawing class (another reason why I've been struggling with my time!) Such a struggle fitting in all of my creative wants and needs around family life!

Hi everyone. Sorry it's been a while since I last blogged. I've had sooo many commissions that i'm afraid my poor blogger account has been a little neglected lately!
Anyway, here's a sneak peak at my latest Christmas gift ideas featured in the lovely Cross Stitch Crazy magazine. It's available from 3rd Oct. Time to start thinking seriously about that Christmas stitching!
