saying goodbye to a book – and hello to a new one
This week I handed in the last piece of artwork for Martha and the Bunny Brothers I Heart Bedtime, second in the Martha and the Bunny Brothers series. I’ve been living this story for so long (you may even remember us discussing the bedtime-evading tactics our own little bunnies use – funny and infuriating! you can read it here and an early post here too).
Now my storybook bunnies are happily propeciafinasteridestore.com tucked up AT LAST.
It’s been such a happy time, working on this book, and I came away with an empty portfolio and a bit of an empty feeling. I sort of sloped about in my studio, clearing away.
But!
The only cure I know of that always always works is A NEW BOOK.
This week I have been secretly talking in a little huddle with some very exciting and outrageously talented people. Our first meeting involved looking at classic 1950’s designs and eating the most delicious blueberry and yoghurt cake.
I began to recover INSTANTLY.
ooooooh wonderful news! I can’t wait to see it – and loving bedtime is definitely something H is growing towards – now she’s almost dropped her daytime naps!! Oh and the cake looks amazing too 🙂
Thank you so much! Bedtime is such a big deal, isn’t it: sometimes a battle of epic proportions, sometimes the best bit of the day – which is why it makes a great theme for a picture book I guess.
I’ve been really loving following Holly’s happenings on http://misshollyblog.blogspot.co.uk/ – it’s always such a good read. Dropping the daytime nap is a big step forward (I’m just about ready to start mine again!)…
Oh goodnight little bunnies, I hope they went to bed with their little bunny slippers on.
You have done so magnificently with Martha and The Bunny Brothers and I can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
Next time we meet I must hug you until some of your super creativity rubs off on to me.
What a lovely and encouraging message – thank you SO MUCH! Consider yourself provisionally hugged until we meet again.
(yes, bunny slippers at all times: I’d wear them myself if I thought people wouldn’t give me funny looks…)
How did I manage to miss this post earlier?! Exciting times all round, and I can’t WAIT to see what new book you’ve got up your sleeve.
Thank you so much, Elli, and I might add – DITTO!
