Hello Moon

I'm still figuring out the settings, I haven't done a header yet. But I've got to make a post.
I'm sure this is not how to start a blog.

So, hello out there. I was an illustrator and artist for about 7 years after graduating from Art College. I had great years, I had some not so great years. My last was the worst and after that I had a real crisis of confidence in my ability. Then moved to America from UK with my husbands' job. Turns out that most people in my field had a rubbish year that year - 2005. The following year I pretty much dried up artistically. So we decided to start a family. This has been wonderful, I've never been so happy and content, and also free from the expectation that I have the time to be drawing... which made me even happier. Now 5 years down the line, the thought of getting going again is incredibly scary, but I feel a huge part of me is missing from me and from my children. I need to show and tell to keep me motivated, I think.

I have produced small pieces of artwork for the children (mainly birthday cards), but nowhere near as many as are in my head.

So, here I go. Next post I will have something to show.
