I am moving!

For some time I have been a little unhappy with my website .... so over the last month or so I have been creating a new one. One really positive thing about this is that the new website has a blog feature, so it will keep all my blog and website work in one place!

Which means, the blog is moving!!  You will be able to follow it here: http://www.evelynmae.co.uk/blog.html

It should still have an rss feed so you can follow it in your blog reader - I would love to have your company over on the new blog.

Thanks so much everyone XX

Halloween 2013

My writings here have been somewhat sporadic of late - isn't it funny how we go in phases with things?  And I'm not the only one- I have seen a number of blogs lately who have been taking a break, and having time out.

For me, I have been using Tumblr-  Although a micro blogging site, it feels like a combination of twitter, FB, and instagram all rolled into one! If you fancy seeing my blog over there to see what I mean, you can find it here: 


Sharing off of Tumblr seems to confuse me, so it is more insular than the other social platforms, but I have been enjoying using it.

Do any of you use Tumblr? If so, let me have the link in the comment box and I will come on over for a look :)

Anyhow, its halloween today, and  although I don't celebrate, there is something really lovely about feeling like a new season has started!  It also brings out lots of opportunites for using pumpkins as art!  Such as this guy and his family ....


or this! Just amazing!!
