Progress

Good morning & happy #thicktrunktuesday. These look like they’re planning something. I’ll be painting in Tunbridge Wells again today…. Send staying dry weather conditions please. #trees #woods #onmywalks

Progress on the public art 🩷 #refreshtunbridgewells #publicart #mural

Morning all. A throwback to another time of year for #MagentaMonday. Sunny today so I’ll be back in Tunbridge Wells working on my Mural. It’s to the side of the The Amelia if you fancy dropping by this afternoon. #bloomscrolling

The outline of the design is on!

The most popular handbag hanger this week is the plum Bees. Love making these cute little useful items for keeping your bag off the floor and safe in view at your restaurant table. Great postable gifts as well. meikiedesigns.etsy.com/listing/1038...

Morning all. The turn of the leaves has started. A little #SundayYellow for you in the form of a baby #oak tree. Suns out let’s get out and enjoy it! #trees #autumn

Tell me you’re an artist without telling me you are……. Considering continuing the colours all over because I like them so much.

Good morning all. Happy #Saturday 😃. Gorgeous sunshine yesterday perfect for taking pictures. What’s the plan? Going out, baking, creating here. #autumn

Did I put the shorts and sandals away too soon?

Yesterday I really thanked myself for pre mixing all my paints! Great feeling when a plan works out perfectly 😃 #refreshtunbridgewells #publicart #mural #tunbridgewells

Good morning from the garden. Repotted that #Fuschia into a much larger pot. It already seems to have expanded into it. Love it! Wishing you a day filled with little joys like this 😘 #gardening #pink

Had a great day #RoyalTunbridgeWells painting sherbet skies on my public art piece for #refreshtunbridgewells. Wonderful comments from passers by saying how beautiful it was and thanking me for doing it. Like they all needed a bit of bright positive colour in the town centre. #goodday #mural

Help please lovely people. Final decisions on how the public art piece will look. The original design has swirls on the bodies of the swallows. What do you think.. with or without the swirls? #mural #tunbridgewells #testing #planning #publicart #RefreshTunbridgeWells

Morning… still raining. Here’s the sunshine the other day. Weather forecast and reality not matching up, how’s a girl to plan 🙄. Hey ho onwards! #trees #sunshine #onwards

On the workbench this morning. Test painting for that public art piece. #sketches #testingdesigns #artist #birdsinflight #refreshtunbridgewells

Good morning from the studio. View through the side door. It’s raining again… still a beautiful view. Rain coat at the ready. #GardensHour #trees #mygarden #rainingagain #MyView

Good morning & happy #thicktrunktuesday. #Trees are the best! Suns out, let’s make the most of it! #oaks #countrylanes

Made the mistake of going shopping hungry……. Working my way through a pack of posh all butter shortbread biscuits.

Bear has gobbled up four windfall apples today. I hope this doesn’t end badly 😂

Planned out the whole public art piece. It’s called ‘reach for the skies’. Now just waiting for wind and rain to die down 🙄. #refreshtunbridgewells #publicart #mural #planning

This

Good morning 🩷. It’s #MagentaMonday in the hedgerow. Natures decorations. Wishing for less rain this week…. I’ve got a public art piece to paint! Wishing you a week filled with small beauties like this 😘 #hedgerow #autumn

Spent two hours moving plants around, potting up cuttings and repotting. Bliss! I’m going to need more compost 😂.

Good morning Sunny ones. After yesterday’s downpour I went for one of my favourite walks. This gorgeous lane makes me feel like I’m in olden times. Been so wiped out last few days, if you have energy to spare please send some my way. #countrylanes #trees #favouriteplaces

Recommendations for films or series please.

I love arriving home to a plant in my doorstep. A gift from a neighbour. Pale lilac iris 😃💜

Pooped! Friday night gnt, pasta and a film! Hurrah!

Yesterday in Tunbridge Wells…. Removing stickers, cleaning, sanding and painting undercoat on my public art piece for Refresh Tunbridge Wells. It was quite windy 😂, hey ho onwards!

Morning Sunny ones. So many berries everywhere. Autumn on its way. Started that public art piece!!!! Steep learning curve but I seem to live a challenge! Now just need the weather to be on my side. Have a gorgeous day all. #autumn #berries

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great review! Thank you Helen. Happy customer happy me! Blueberry butterfly is still the most popular design in the hand bag hangers. meikiedesigns.etsy.com/listing/1103... #greatgifts #creativebusiness

Morning Sunny ones. A smiley Bear in bliss for you today. He loves getting a ‘rubby tummy’ I think my bad reaction to that horse fly bite may have stopped swelling up. It’s still about 20cm wide but a little less hot. However now extremely itchy. 😬 #happydog @keeper_of_books

Trying not to scratch!

Got bit on the back of my right thigh. Likely a horse fly 🤬🤬🤬🤬. As usual I have reacted badly, feels like I have a tennis ball strapped to my leg, the swelling is spreading…. Approx 20cm wide at the moment.

Happy customer happy me 💙 thanks for sharing Linda. Loving the little card you made. Such character!

Morning #humpday peeps. Blue sky before the grey rolls in. Intending to put the base coat on the public art project if the weather allows. What’s the opposite of a rain dance? #weatherwatching

Do any other artists love to work listening trip hop, trance and hypnotic dance while creating?

Really glad I waited till I was moved into the studio before planning out this public art piece. It’s so big I’m having to use the floor too 😂

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ what a treat to receive this review! Especially as they are repeat buyers 💜. Happy customers happy me. meikiedesigns.etsy.com/listing/8661...

Good morning & happy #thicktrunktuesday. Sunlight through trees is always a tonic. In the studio first thing, clear the desks of all the open studios display and get on. Have a gorgeous day all😘 #treepeople #trees #woods #sunlight

Good morning from the garden. My entry for #MagentaMonday 🩷. Best #fuschia I’ve ever had, just keeps on blooming these great big beautiful blooms. Wishing you a week filled with little joys like this. #bloomscrolling #gardening

Love to see you at my open studios today. meikiedesigns.com/pages/come-a...

Good morning from the garden. Bonus sun today. Hurrah! Ran out of time to post before my Open Studios started yesterday, hope you all had a good day. Making a banana cake in a min as I’m nearly out of the apple, lemon, mixed spice one to offer visitors. It’s perfect out here for tea&cake. #trees

Just when the neighbours roofing people have stopped making a racket and gone to lunch, another neighbour seems to be taking a mallet to his classic car 🙄…… hard to concentrate!

My lunch consists of a large mug of tea while licking out the cake mix bowl 😋

Good morning from the studio. In here early to set up… I’m a little behind. My view is still beautiful with the sun kissing the trees. I’ve hit that *I move it all around again point of set up* 😂 #studiodays #myview #needmoretea

There be dragons! New lamps and lampshades coming soon….. be the first to nab one at my open studios this weekend 😃 #dragons #artlamps #atmosphericlighting meikiedesigns.com/pages/come-a...

Crispy fried halloumi and tomato sandwich! Soo good! New food obsession. #lunch #foodobsession

Still the most popular business card holder, making introductions a pretty affair 💙. Blueberry butterflies I love those hues of the ripe fruit. #businessmeeting #butterflies #businesscard meikiedesigns.etsy.com/listing/8144...

Good morning. Raining out there… it’s still a beautiful view from the studio. In here early to finish some orders. Then it’s photographing products ready to list them. Then finish setting up for Open Studios this weekend. Have a gorgeous day all 😘 #garden #studiodays
