Amazingly busy but very rewarding not to mention educational. I was working on a few books last year and I also had the opportunity to have been selected for illustration residency in the Blue mountains at <a href="http://pinerolo.com.au/">Pinerolo</a>, I was a very lucky girl!<br />
<br />
Those books I was busily working away on are out soon, so take a look at my <a href="http://jeddarobaard.blogspot.com.au/p/books.html">BOOKS</a> page to see what out now and what on it's way.<br />
Here's the very cute lion & Zebra. I'm so happy with these little board books cant wait for them to be out and about!<br />

Finally, it's out today! The Grandpa Book.</h4>
The second book after A little book about Me and My Grandma.<br />
<br />
It's another special book to write, draw and store your favoutite memories about you and your Grandpa.<br />
There's even a little card in the back to write and send!<br />
Published by The Five Mile Press, you can read more about it <a href="http://www.fivemile.com.au/books/new-titles/a-little-book-about-me-and-my-grandpa.html">HERE</a><br />
Evie (our naughty but very cute little Dachshund) makes a few appearances in this one.<br />
I like to include places I love going in these books, so when you get a chance to see a copy, try and spot Cradle Mountain. I've even included the Stone wall at Barwon Heads. Which is one of our favourite spots for eating fish & chips.<br />
<br />

And I have been thinking about how unfair it is that the males are so much more colourful than the females.<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">So I have come up with a solution, I've giving the girls a bit of colour with that essential winter accessory the scarf!</span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;">Winter School holidays are here!</span></h2>
I thought I would share the girls quilting project.<br />
Strangely enough even after 6 years of running art&craft workshops, a billion softies and a life time of craft I have never made a quilt! So the the girls and I are all quilting newbies.<br />
So where to start? After some very enjoyable fabric selections, I thought we should make a little grid to decide on our patterns...so far so good.<br />
<br />

Time has a habit of getting away when you get busy. I have been working away on a few of books due out later this year.<br />
But in between that I have also been drawing a few fairies...well one actually but she has a friend.<br />
I headed off to Linton again a few weeks ago, and snapped some lovely pictures perfect places for fairies to hide.<br />
<br />
You can see her here...<br />

If you have never been to Linton, it's a lovely old gold town with a very small population, about 20 minutes outside Ballarat in Victoria.<br />
