I always love your newsletter Jane! Tiny clouds you can give to your best friend!! It’s so good to hear all the ways you find inspiration and I love the thought of a full size papier mache man skulking in your sister’s bathroom! 😆
This is my favourite newsletter to date! I love King Otter's golden coach and all your inspirational moments - especially the yellow lines - and of course the Dream Man.... And at this moment the idea of autumn is quite appealing!
I loved those yellow lines so much - the painter had gone a bit rouge and just mixed a new shade just to be different. There was also a lovely bit where the paint had solidified down a drainage grille - niche interests!
Oh, Jane, I completely agree about not being able to sleep properly in summer! When the first nip of cool fall weather hits, I'll be the first to dance under a leafy tree!
Please extend my congratulations to King Otter on his lovely golden coach! It's the kind of classy that money can't buy, and that only comes from loving, handmade craftsmanship. :)
I was already looking forward to school visits, but this interview really kicked it into high gear! :)
Verrry tempted by the Comics class--I'm getting my fall schedule nailed down, so hope to know more soon(ish) on that front, 🤞! But keeping one eye on it!
I love "it's the kind of classy money can't buy" - that's it exactly! Best of luck with your school visits, have you got some scheduled? Let me know if you want any tips... and I would love to have you in the comics class, so fingers crossed :)
We are setting some up for October! (School doesn't start until September here.) And I'm ALWAYS open to tips for that--I was a substitute teacher, but it was a long time ago; I'm hoping it's a little like riding a bicycle and some tricks will come back to me. But...we'll see! Ha ha!
I love that your dream man ended up in sister’s bathroom where he scared child visitors! Also, your jacket project is inspiring. I recently binned my jeans because the holes got too big. I wish I had a sawing machine and knew how to do "visible" mending.
Oh, I know what you mean Jane. Even though I'm alarmed by how quickly the year is whizzing by, I'm also craving cooler days! A golden coach for King Otter and tiny clouds - how lucky are you!? : )

A lovely read, Jane :) Looking forward to the zine swap!
Thankyou Emma!!🥰

Freya told me this morning that seeing the picture of the papier mache man has re-traumatised her 😂😂😂
Loved reading this .
What a lovely gift those clouds were 💙
wasn't it the sweetest thing - I kept one to treasure and gave the rest away as instructed!
How sweet!
I’m starting teaching a preschool class again in September, 2 mornings a week. Looking forward to meeting them :)
Ah lucky you, what a treat! 🥰
“I made you some clouds” 🥹 It’s always so lovely when you can witness the innocence and generosity of kids!
Your newsletters are a mish-mash of creativity and beauty. Something we could use more of these days - so, thank you!
Those clouds were the loveliest thing! And thankyou for your comment, it's so nice to hear you enjoy my ramblings!
Your words and images are always so up lifting Jane. Swimming in the big thunderstorm. The gift of clouds. Those yellow lines. That mural. That Day!
It was a very special day and we will do another one soon! Weren't those yellow lines so thrilling... and thankyou for your kind words!

I think that earnestly offered handful of clouds is the best thing I've ever been given!
