Oh, 'tis the end of the week and the scotch is flowing like Hogmanay!

Not a lot to say - just had to get rid of that damned Halloween story - how would you like it if carol singers turned up on Valentine's day?!! Quite pleased, I suspect, if one of them was your Valentine!!

I need to thank all of you for your inspiration and helpful words. I've been drawing since February and, on a good day, actually like what I'm doing - this, I fear, is reason enough to continue.

Special thanks go to ;

- I had no idea what a negg faerie was, now I realise the error of my ways!

- for making me realise that there is true beauty on the darkside!

- for reminding me that I may be a little chauvanist, because there are women out there who can't use a sewing machine - And I'm possibly going to die horribly when she reads this!

- Cats rule - when you befriend a cat, you have a friend for life.

- Sometimes I need reminding that people who seem at first glance to be very, very scary, can have an incredible ammount of style.

I have, of course, saved the best till last.

I've known you less than a month, but we seem to get on so well, that I regard you as an old friend. For that, I give you all my thanks.

Be well,

Dix. x
