The Bumpies
I'll level with you blog, I've been trying to shoehorn my natural self-loathing and intensity into some kind of workable cuteness, and some of my experiments don't easily fit into anyone's category, but bless them, here they are anyway.
Shoehorn?
In the meantime I've started an actually new (completely new) Etsy store, which I'll post about properly soon.
Here is a humble offering of pictures and punchy wordlets. I am a mother of one little girl. There is no more wordlumber, no more sitting on the hill contemplating, a lot more stepping on lego. I still think I'm quite good at drawing though
