Just popping together a portfolio of some of my paintings so that I can pin it, feel free to ignore 😆 All traditionally painted in a combination of watercolours and pastels/pastel pencil. Commissions are closed I'm afraid.

My Remembrance pieces for this year are finally finished and on display in Northamptonshire. The dress is wearing my father's RAF veteran pin in his memory. The display in total contains around 1000 knitted & crochet poppies ❤️ #yarnbombing #RoyalBritishLegion #poppy #remembrance

Almost finished! The dress will be forming a part of my #remembrance yarn bombing display from next weekend. I think I have about 100 more poppies to make and attach, and then we are there! The Spitfire has been refreshed and will be displayed alongside. #poppy

612 crochet and knitted poppies so far. My biggest, most ambitious piece of Yarn Bombing to date. Still another 150 ish to finish the back, but she's getting there. #poppy #remembrance #Crochet #yarnbombing @PoppyLegion In memory of my dad who served in @RoyalAirForce

Was looking forward to the Unreal Engine, State of Unreal livestream, but instead of innovation, it's just AI bullshit Build it fast, with no thought to the cost. Studio's hemorrhaging employees and switching to AI pipelines, projects becoming carbon copies of the same assets.

Ultimately, the more studio's and indies depend on AI tools, the higher the cost of computing components. They are already spiralling. The future of gaming will be massive amounts of AI slop and no one able to even afford graphics cards to play these 'creations'.

I'm wondering if Twitter can do that thing it was always so good at and connect me with a community, a women's #running community? Particularly 50+ #perimenopause or #menopause ladies training as beginners. I'm training for my first marathon and could use a support network x

I think this is my first time posting about it here, but I'm pleased to say my little indie game is finally in development - prototyping the collection card system today. The Deadly Aquarium will be a cosy, pixel art fish collection game, with a spooky twist #gamedev #pixelart

When the world is dark and depressing, throw some whimsy at it. My latest postbox topper is out in the wild today, I hope it raises a smile or two x

There is life on the other side of #perimenopause. It's taken a good long while, there's been health scares, breakdowns and burnouts, grey hairs and tons of wrinkles. But today, at almost 51 years old, I got my arse on the treadmill for a run, and I didn't die!!

I've been absent from the Ark Survival Ascended circles for a good long while, but fired it up last night and discovered Lost Colony? No idea this existed, but there's a hot vampire, so I'm hooked again 😆 #playArk Better go catch up, I guess!
