Carrot Onesie Meets Miss Dior ...

The blog break is over and you may be wondering what I got up to so here is a recap

slept, drank tea, drew a little, watched crap tv, got out of the house as much as possible,

caught epic flu, slept, contemplated my half eyebrow, 

and my badger hair, read rubbish books, and trashy magazines, went skylarking

flu came back, did an impression of being the physical embodiment of a bed for a few days, delighted in having enough hair that I got bed head, drew a little,

watched a ridiculous number of youtube videos with Phantom

was sneezed on, slept on and licked a scary number of times by Mushu aka Blog Dude

had my frozen yogurt hoovered by said mutt when I wasn't looking

was force fed superfoods by Phants and Sinus

to the point that if I sneeze I am getting chia seeds shoot out my nostrils

and if all that wasn't enough we ran headlong into Phantom Steve's 18th birthday!

Somewhere along the line our gloriously mad little girl grew up

and this birthday has brought a flood of memories, 

like the fact that she spent two years having to be bribed to put on clothes

 there was a memorable four months that she was a cat

and this was serious method acting, meows only, meals on the floor...the whole shebang

she has changed her name too many times to count

 was a scary perfectionist about her hair braids all through school

she spent months wearing only tap shoes because they made such a great noise

but these days manages to walk with the stealth of a cat burglar

scaring the bejeezus out of me at least twice a day

she has never failed to laugh at a good fart joke or whoopee cushion

not to mention that to this day won't mix foods on a single fork of food

well that wonderful daughter

has become an adult and is now able to vote and drink and all that good stuff

plus her grandparents got her some Miss Dior Perfume

which provided me with a fabulous subject for the painting for this post

and yes the colours are a way too bright, but I can't help but give them a tweak

Her card this year was a slightly slap dash number dedicated to Hannah Hart's Carrot Onesie

which is a madly addictive part from the video below

It is the constant stream in my head at the moment

and will forever be the soundtrack that I associate with this birthday

I make no apologies if you find yourself muttering carrot onesie, carrot, carrot onesie for the rest of the day because it is so wonderfully, gloriously mad that it will make you smile every time

if you are reading on a mobile device then the video isn't playing

no clue why... and it is hurting my brain trying to re do it

but I don't want you to miss out... so click on this link

and you too can have it running through your head endlessly

Carrot Onesie

So happy 18th to Phantom Steve

she is an oldie but a goodie and we love her to bits

I am now off to try to finish my homework from the last lesson of Sketchbook Skool

happy painting all ... xx
