Kate Crumpet Space IllustrationEveryone knows you can’t go into space without sieve on your head – or at the very least a cardboard box.

Kate Crumpet Tropical www.crumpetcottage.comOh, how I wish I were sipping a pineapple cocktail on a tropical island. Imagine wearing just shorts! No thermal leggings or woolly socks.

Hiding from the cold indoors, I have been experimenting with different watercolour papers, this one is a little too rough, maybe the next one will be just right.

Beginning Kate Crumpet IllustrationI love the beginning of a story, don’t you? Sometimes, I am so eager to get to the next chapter, I forget to enjoy the page I am reading. A beginning has no pressure, no disappointments and no distractions.

As much as I love the smell of books and the texture of paper, I am loving the new Kindle Paperwhite Mr Crumpet got me for Christmas. Now my heaving bookshelves are soley reserved for art books. And my Kindle is overflowing with Anne of Green Gables and Enid Blyton adventures.

Dressing Up Box Search - Kate CrumpetI have never been one of those people who gets their outfit ready, clean and pressed, the night before. However, searching through a dressing-up box, rather than through a dusty old wardrobe, would make the mornings more fun I am sure.

When I was 16 I owned a pair of bright pink cowboy boots and wore them everywhere – I wonder where they are adventuring now?

grandfather time paintingThis year is starting to fly by already! I hope at the end of the week Grandfather Time will put his feet up in a cosy jumper, with a mug of Horlicks and settle down in front of the latest Midsomer Murders episode.

Of course, we all know the best animals for keeping time are white rabbits.

What is my favourite time of day you ask?
