    Have to say, I so agree with greent - a veggie meal is practically 'ordinary' these days. Although I also agree that the veggie choice is rarely the best option :(

    Tills you are so going to have to copyright the letter 'T' for yourself - first 'Tilly Tidies' and now 'Tilly's Takeaway Transit' :rotfl::D

    Hope the creativity flows today Fortune and you get paint on canvas :D

    I would say that Vegan is the new Vegetarian.

    Veggie options are pretty mainstream these days.

    How small minded on so many levels :(
    I do not know how people can behave like that.

    Feeling so much better now the cold is coming to an end. I worked yesterday and got some housework done and... got to do some painting at last :j I must start making painting more of a priority rather than something I fit in when I can. It's one of the things I've neglected because of taking too much on in the part-time job.

    So here it is if anyone's interested https://www.facebook.com/BeeGardenArt/photos/a.692970800776393.1073741832.663603263713147/1100615963345206/?type=3&notif_t=feedback_reaction_generic&notif_id=1470739235870267

    I've already listed it in my Etsy shop. So that's a whole two items listed now :o I might be able to make a start on another this week though.

    Today is the start of wedding beautification - I am having my hair done. And I'm going to pay for it out of the wedding savings ;)

    Fortune - am I going dolally, or did you mention on your thread about considering producing a range of greetings cards from your paintings?

    ABSOLUTELY GO FOR IT! - the goose painting just sung 'greeting card' through and through - the sort of thing mrW, wHsM1ffs or the natty trust would stock - £2.49 a pop I'd hazard a guess. Greeting card or notelet - definitely.

    Lovely work - thanks for sharing :D

    Glad you are feeling better and getting your hair done does wonders for the morale (not if turns out wrong though) :eek:

    I have to say I really admire your artwork FS; :T

    Hi Greying

    no you're not going dolally - I did think about it at one point but the technology defeated me. You have motivated me to give it another go though :D

    Thank you Tcal. I don't think I would have pursued the art thing without the support and encouragement of everyone on this site.

    Hair turned out well by the way :)
