Paper Thumb Tack

Welcome back to paperthumbtack just briefly while I invite you all my subscribers over to my new life-sharing blog. After about 12 month of consideration, lack of work and generally being busy getting married, I have felt it time to change up my online presence. Exit instagram, Facebook and other corporation controlled social media here. […]

Sunday is art with Rose day. It’s wear wool day and it’s look at the environment day. I have issues but not THOSE issues.

made banana cake and put choc chips in it. Also managed to spend some drawing time with My sister.

Good afternoon everyone. Today I fed my poddies more veggie scraps. They nearly fight over them. I think they are healthy and growing good winter coats. Cowpurnia is leading well on the halter.

It’s Christmas Day After a wonderful, long, drug induced sleep, I woke early enough for it to be sane-o’clock. So instead of 4 am, it was 6 am. I fed my poddy. He’s looking good. He might be Moo-dini (as in Houdini the great escape artist poddy who can’t be tied up with rope), and […]
