I love Ewe

Published on 2012-01-11 06:31:00

Hey guys, hope that 2012 is treating ewe well so far?2011 ended with the great build starting and mumborg going into hospital. To elaborate, the house is being made disabled friendly, with ramps installed, doors being widened, wet room added downstairs and the kitchen being kitted out with things suitable for those of wheelchair height. A lot of planning was needed to get this off the ground, but things are going well so far! Mumborg was not meant to be in hospital, as she was mea

Ho ho ho and all that bollocks

Personal Grumpus commission for Truus I seem to have wandered into the world of microblogging (as in Facebook, Twitter etc) and neglected my beloved weblog, whoops. There are lots of things that I need to do, like respond to comments on the last post, write my epic ode to five years of blogging and much more, but I don't want to miss what is happening in the here and now, so I am writing this post. I will probably do a reflective new year post and include the thoughts on five years of blogg

Turning 30 and the world not ending

I recently shuffled off this mortal coil, erm, I mean I turned.....into a green hideous furry beast... 30. Interestingly my face didn't suddenly slip of my facial skeletal structure and I didn't sprout any more grey hairs. I refuse to talk about that weird hair on my chin, tweezers have taken care of that issue.I celebrated this monumental birthday by attending a glass blowing course in the morning and then going to Farmageddon in the evening. Blowing glass is bloody hard work, just ke

Hey chumsI am currently doing a few art/craft stalls at the moment, to market The Doodologist in the real world (not just online). I think I will leave writing up my experience with those until I have done a few more. I will have done four, by the first of next month, so a full expose into the world of arty farty crafty stall type things shall be written up then, including my mahoosive to do list! If I wrote it up now it would be something like:"Talk to me, I am human being, not a zoo animal tra

The Prince's Trust:My doodling business The Doodologist is developing quite nicely and I am officially allowed to say that This business was initially helped by the Prince's Trust.They obviously have to be quite strict about how their good name is used and you can't use their logo, without paying a hefty sum. This is to protect the charity from unscrupulous people.What is the Prince's Trust?The Prince's Trust is a charity set up by the Prince of Wales (Charles) in 1976. It does a lot o

Things have been rather busy at 'The Doodologist' Headquarters (In a good way, mostly).Firstly the computer had to go back to the shop, which was a major pain in the arse and something I had blocked out of my mind,until writing this blog post and realising how long it has been since I actually wrote anything on here!Ooops.Secondly I found out my first Art Fair/Craft Fair/Fete type thing will be on September 10th and there are also a few more that I am hoping to do, just waiting to hear back from

Doodle Business:The Doodologist is fast approaching the last stage of business planning, although I am open for business, I still have some hoops to jump through. I visited the bank last week and had a meeting to set up a business account. It was slightly nerve wracking, but mainly exciting and more importantly they said yes! So I now have a shiny business bank account, with a cheque book and card that is emblazoned with 'The Doodologist'. I shall admit to being more than a little excited about

Life Drawing :Not wanting to become complacent as I strive to find my own drawing style, I decided to sign up for a life drawing class. I have had no formal arty training since back in ye olde times of high school, many moons ago now. So I was rather nervous about it all, but nothing ventured, nothing gained etc What did I learn?Well firstly, that I am not good at life drawing, but I didn't expect to be. My main aim was to draw a recognisable human figure and not giggle at the naked person, whic

Worry ye not, I have not actually died or even worse than death, stopped blogging. The lack of blogging has been a mixture of things:Doodle Madness, as one will see further down this web like page. Sister 1 got wed on Thursday, with all the family shenanigans and obligatory running round like headless chickens.PC died! Okay it didn't actually die, but it was very poorly sick and had to go away to the pooter shop.What is happening in the world of The Doodologist?Things are going very well in the

Reasons to be a Grumpus

Published on 2011-05-30 17:54:00

Uh oh I have been neglecting The Grumpus, which is not the best thing to do... so this post is mainly about the green and furry one.The Grumpus recently asked the worshippers/minions that like the FB page, what made them almost Grumpus like. The Grumpus was saddened by a rather lacklustre response and had to prod minions to ignite their fury. It produced results at last and one particular minion came up with the perfect reason to be a Grumpus.Heather minion was infuriated that other minions wher
