Hello Everyone,

Firstly I appologise for not keeping my blogs up to date! It doesn't mean I forgot you all, I have still checked in daily (a true EFA! ) and done the rounds, sprinkling faerie dust on my way!

The Tattoo Jam convention was a success, though the weekend didn't go how I'd planned. The two people I had arranged to work on for the competions both cancelled on me unfortunately, which was a bit stressful to say the least. But I do believe things happen for a reason, even if we don't know what those reasons are.

I went for a calming walk on the beach to ease my nerves

& found a willing (though somewhat hungover) volunteer to Tattoo on the Saturday for the competion,

and was then busy Sunday doing Tattoos for anyone else who came along wanting them.

Overall I realy enjoyed the weekend. It was extremely busy & I met some great people. I hope I get to do it all again next year!

Today I am busy packing to go away for our Summer break. My Daughter & Me are going to stay with the lovely Liz & Stephan and then my parents, sister & nephew are joining us to spend a week in a different part of Cornwall. I haven't been down there for a couple of years & I can't wait!

*The only thing is I'll be without my computer for over a week, how will I manage without my daily dose of EF!?!*

Catch up with you all when I get back!

Faerie Blessings,

Amanda

Hi Everyone!

Sorry I haven't done my usual rounds lately, I had an extremely busy weekend at the show!

It was a good weekend, on saturday I completed a Tattoo on a regular customer of mine of his dogs:

Which was entered in the "best black & grey small" category, and took 2nd place.

Another regular customer of mine came along to the show & put her Tattoo in the "best colour small" category, and also took 2nd place with her Geisha Tattoo (completed at the studio);

Then on the Sunday I Tattooed a very nice gentleman who volunteered his leg for one of my Faeries! The photo isn't great, but the Tattoo also took 2nd place in the "best completed at show" category;

So no 1st's unfortunately, but not bad considering I haven't worked a show for a couple of years. And as we were all saying goodbye to leave, the Boss told us all to have a good rest as we're doing it all again in 2 weeks!

So if any of you are in or around North Wales the weekend of 1st/2nd August and you like Body Art (or just wanna see me doing my thing!) come along to Tattoo Jam!

Inky Faerie Blessings,

Amanda

Hi Everyone,

Just a very quick post to say I will be working at the State of the Art Tattoo Convention in Derby this weekend. I'm looking forward to it as I missed the last couple of years but won 1st place awards at the previous couple that I worked at, so fingers crossed!

Anyone who is in the area and likes body art please do come along & say hello!

Wish me luck!

Amanda

Hello to all you Enchanted Folk out there!

Unfortunately these photos didn't come out as well as I'd hoped as my little subjects kept wriggling around! But I thought I'd put them up to share them with you anyway.

Some friends of mine work in Animal rescue & are currently babysitting 8 Hedgehogs from 2 seperate litters. They brought 2 of them round to show me;

  Hedgehog Baby (One)                            Hedgehog Baby (Two)

Baby One is slightly larger and is now learning to curl up into a little ball!

But Baby Two, who is the runt of the litter and very tiny, still hasn't quite got the hang of it yet!

Instead of curling up deffensively when I turned him onto his back, he just layed in my hand and started falling asleep! Aaaaw Bless!!!

I hope you enjoyed this little dose of cuteness for the day!

Faerie Blessings,

Amanda

Happy Independance Day to all our American friends here in EF!
