Yesterday was such a great day. Birds singing, sunshine, 'spring' cleaning... and I managed to get three whole projects completed last night!

FINALLY
Ever get that feeling where you work and work and nothing seems to get done? That's where I've been for a while. It's frustrating. It's sort of depressing. It sure is nice to see the results when the things are FINALLY finished.

A new project
This morning these lovely things were left on the path leading down to the bus stop. I don't doubt for a moment that they are from the faerie folk here. The robins and sparrows were fluttering about and singing so happily yesterday that I am quite certain there was some sort of revelry going on last night.
It's a funny thing really because over the past few months I've been slowly working on a sister site for Knickertwist's... Pixie Hill.
Pixie Hill will be dedicated to faerie goodness and fostering creativity. It's really rough at the moment, and a bit of a mess, but in a week or so it should be up and running proper. I'll let you know when she's decent and ready for a peek :)
Anyway, part of the new site includes 'a journal of proof'. It will be a sort of record of the faerie sightings and magical activity that goes on here. I'm taking today's find as a sign to get the darned thing up and running already and have started the blogging here.
Hop on over and have a look at pixie-hill.blogspot.com/
Enjoy!

"Make your own damned mess" Giveaway
Here's the deal, I want you to be inspired. I want you to make a mess. BUT it has to be your own damned mess. No copying off of your neighbours work. Got it? Ok.
Over the years I've managed to build up a pretty nice collection of photos for use in my mess making. For the next month or so I'm giving away a high res sheet of grubby kidlet inchies made from my collection.
Here's the deal...
#1. Don't sell or give the file/sheet/images.
You can make as much stuff as you want from these. You can make as many copies as you like. You can sell or give or trade your finished artwork. Just don't distribute the images. You can direct others here to get their own, but don't distribute it, in any way, for free or for sale, in part or whole, in print or digitally, till death do you part.
I'm not one of those nice 'white' witches, and I am not above jinxing, hexing or cursing anyone who does not follow this very simple rule.
#2. Comment below on why it's wrong to steal, or the consequences of intellectual theft. Or, even better, why it's important to MAKE YOUR OWN DAMNED MESS. You get the idea.
And that's it! Everyone who leaves message will get the file... though I do reserve the right to refuse someone I think is a sneaky bastard.
Make sure I can contact you via email through your profile and you will be sent the full high-res jpg of the above. Email me at info (at) knickertwists (dot) com if you can not be contacted through your profile. I cross my black little heart that you won't be added to any sort of list, and I won't send you chain letters.
***Please note: I will send a 200dpi file at 1.5K which is absolutely suitable for printing. You can request a 300dpi file which is rather large at 3.5K.

The WIP is still IP
The 'work in progress' I showed yesterday isn't done but I've filled in a few of the compartments with happy things like old pencil crayons, buttons and birthday candle stubs.
I still have two compartments sitting empty. I'm waiting for the pixies to pinch me and give me a nudge to let me know what else they collect ;)

Today's WIP
Freshly papered, painted... today's project is just waiting for some proper lovin'
What are you working on today?
Frrr...rrr.rrr...eeez..zing
We've had a good and proper Canadian winter this year with a crap load of snow. I took these during the morning rush and the chilly walk down to the school bus. My darling husband was very kind and cleared a path down our hill so that the kid and I didn't have to walk on the road.
My favourite find this morning...
I'm sure inside there's a cozy place where the pixies are huddled in a warm pile, snuggled close together.
I can't wait for spring.
