I've been cutting up bits of card as I thought colourful backing cards would be good for brooches etc at craft fair. Found I still had some Leo Going On Holiday brooches left. 😻

By the way yes, I can do commissions of scrappy pet portraits (they'd cost a bit more). Might add the option in the shop.

Gosh I'm feeling rough. I've been to a family thing because I felt better yesterday. I hope I haven't infected anyone

Decided to make little envelopes for the scrappy cats.

It's a picture of cat paintings getting packaged up.
Handmade envelopes, one of them has a joyful looking painted paper cat sticking out of it, two others are labelled SYDNEY and TINY THUNDER. Also stickers with blue cats on them to close envelopes with and a cardboard box of more cut out cats.

WIP: a little regency peg doll. I think she should have a sash. And a fan.

Pip is here. She smells, mysteriously, of well rotted compost

I just re-opened my shop to sell some signed books... and original art. Scrappy cats, painted by hand, for you, go get one! I will add all of the ones in this picture today and then see if I can paint a few more... (I am raising some money to aircon my flat here.) vivschwarz.bigcartel.com

Colourful cats painted on scrap paper and cut out.

Also gave this little friend a rat toy that I made

Kitten chewing on a crocheted toy rat about half his size that he's hugging, looking up at the camera from the rug

What is your earliest memory? I can remember wearing this dress. I can see it looking down at the pocket which was a flower pot for the flower. Can't me a memory from much more than 2 years old

It's days like these where we reckon we've got one of the best offices. It's been beautiful here in Charmouth, the perfect kind of day for going out on the beaches and looking for some Jurassic treasures.

Also, look how cute my cat is when he's asleep

I found this lion that I made years ago. I think he deserves to see the light of day. Also made a couple of Wally dog brooches. Quite liking the brown. I'm going to do a craft fair at Andover Museum in November, so I'm using up materials I already have.

Painting some cats to put into books.

Cats painted on paper and cut out. They're colourful. There's brushes and paints scattered around, too

Wally dogs... I think I'll give them all names. Also found a sheet of shrink plastic so I made another dog. I quite like it. The back is a mess, but I've enough plastic to make a couple more

Here we go. Made it.

A copy of I WILL HAUNT THIS, a little teapot and cup and a plate with three slightly scrappy pieces of upside down apple cake and a dollop of yogurt on a pallet splattered raw wood table.

I made some chutney a couple of weeks ago to use up pears and apples. Chucked a bit of curry powder in and some lovely shallots. It tastes amazing! And more amazingly I even wrote down what I put in it.

Buttons are on. And I’ve spent hours picking cat hair off it. Tip: don’t let a fluffy cat sit on you while you knit. It’ll be 100 times worse than you imagined

Another photo of small me in thrall to a cat. I wonder why I like cats? Do you know why you like cats?

Done with these now. I'll pop them in my shop sometime. More ideas brewing that I want to work on.

I've been to the hairdresser! Got recommendation from a friend and it was very very reasonably priced and really good. The lovely hairdresser didn't even laugh at my uneven home haircutting. He was also quick and talked exactly the right amount.
