Not as Savvy as I Thought

Oh I tried to add my qoop widget to the shop page and pooped it up good and proper...now i have to figure out how i managed it and how to set it right

Oh Dear!

Well it seems I've been neglecting my posts here, I have a recent addiction and it is Lego Batman on ps2. Everything's been going downhill for the past week, it's been all I've thought about, dreamed about.
And I'm quite good at it too.
So my humlest apologies for being super lazy.
For my excuses I do have the kids having super colds blasting snot in every direction they can.
Finally managed to do enough of the loft so I can actually sleep in our bed again.
Got a fair bit done on the garden too now there's only one sleeper left to take out then dig it over and plant the lawn seeds. Woohoo!
Oh and Dub got his first tooth.
And the overdose on chocolate and the subsequent comedown needs a mention too.

Family Update

Well that's the last playgroup for a fortnight, daughter did really well today and was quite chatty with some of the other mums which isn't like her at all so was very proud, maybe it was the potential Easter egg.
Was a bit strange hubby not being around for most of the day as he had to go to his mums, first it was to sort out her cats injections (why she would book the cat in for injections when shes just had a foot operation is anyone's guess). Then it was to move her TV and laptop, and then it was to be a witness for the council because she was allegedly being a bad neighbour to the lady who lives upstairs (whilst she was in hospital?).
I still haven't finished sorting out all the stuff from the loft! And its getting me more and more angry as I am sleeping on the floor in the kids room.
Today I wanted to give the bathroom a little clean, do the pots and some ironing and maybe get through some of the loft stuff but there's little use in trying to do anything with the kids around because one of them always wants something! And trying to get anything done in the kitchen with daughter in the garden is nigh on impossible.
although the previous two days we've been trying to sort out the garden and daughter has been a bit helpful with that. We were going to get a skip for all the rubbish but my life its expensive so the pile of stones I made by the shed on the first day had to be moved back to the bottom of the garden because then at least we can have a lawn by the summer for the kids to play on.

Gillian Ayres

Click Here for the Wikipedia. I know I should say more, but they all start sounding the same. (I am really poor/lazy at reviews). *delete as appropriate.

Joseph Beuys

I don't really know a lot about Joseph Beuys, I found his name on a scrap of paper with a list of artists I should have a look at from when I was at University (10 years ago). SssHHH! I've only just looked up most of them. Beuys being one of them. And now I wish I had looked him up a long time ago, I used to believe that being a naive artist was a good thing, but thats more of an excuse as to how lazy I was.
Any way enjoy the Beuys. Click Here for Wikipedia.

Ed Paschke

Well...I tried my hardest to only pick four images for Ed Paschke, but I couldn't do it. I wanted to use all of them! They are all amazing! Love his use of colour and imagery, well everything. I recommend going and having a look at his official website or check his wikipedia. Paul Baines was quite hard to just choose 4 images for too so don't forget to check out his stuff here.

Gerhard Richter

Gerhard Richter...Hmmm what to say, his work is ecclectic to say the least and he has had a lot of praise for it, I can see why from both the abstract to the lifelike realism of the photographic paintings, (yep I know they're so well done) his use of colour is paramount thoughout.
