Following a lovely family Christmas, a New Year road trip to the coast in Freddy and now guests have headed home I'm slowly getting back into things, with the emphasis on slowly!
First day back in my studio was a bit nippy but a productive one prepping new work for a new stockist
One of the things I love about January, apart from starting a brand new diary, is knowing Spring is round the corner, that nights will slowly get lighter and the days longer.
I do love being snugged up in Winter though and I'm writing this in front of a roaring fire with Bruno curled up next to me on the settee

they say it's a dog's life and they're not wrong
I have decided that this year I am going to give more time to my writing and the illustration side of my business. I'm hoping to finish the book I started this time last year and I've also started another one. Both are children's books set within the Peak District featuring new animal characters, some being distant relatives to Hippity Hop!
New for 2018 is Hippity Hop's Holiday Art Club which I will be running during school half terms at Tansley Village Hall for children and families.
please email if interested (DBS checked)
I will also be co-running a programme of
Art Workshops this year at Tansley Village Hall kicking off on Wednesday 17th January with
Lunch a Learn - Still Life and Soup. Booking essential

I'm looking forward to the
Art Group starting again on Wednesday 24th January. We meet 10.30 to 12.30 at a cosy and warm Tansley Village Hall on a regular basis and
new members are always welcome. It's open to all creatives who want to spend time with like minded people and work on their own project. It's £5 per session and you can drop in at any of them with no need to book.

Love Karina xx
