Val's Work In Progress: July 2011
http://valwip.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Val's Work In Progress. Schemes and dreams of a hungry artist. Thursday, 28 July 2011. Once upon a time there was a scanner in a happy working relationship with a Millennium-chic tangerine iMac. They hooked up from time to time and the scanner would happily chug away, shining a light on random pieces of paper that needed turning into pixels. Together they worked, USB in USB, until the iMac grew too slow and weak to keep up with the world online and was usurped by a cocky, flashy, whizzy laptop. I've used...

So here's Rosie enjoying her first proper Christmas, being spoilt rotten as well she deserves! And her Facebook page. A freelance a...

Val's Work In Progress. Schemes and dreams of a hungry artist. Sunday, 19 June 2011. A Friend In Need. UPDATE 23rd June 2011. I've taken the decision to remove this post. Unfortunately I have not received a very good response to it and I'm not prepared to bare my soul and tell you lots of deeply humiliating personal secrets if it's just going to be met with a wave of apathy. Posted by Val Woodhouse. Tuesday, 14 June 2011. New Café Press Goodies - Part 1. Those busy bees over at Café Press. Have been sour...

Val's Work In Progress. Schemes and dreams of a hungry artist. Saturday, 15 December 2012. Nice Shiny Dangly Things. December marches on apace and most of you have no doubt already bought your tree or got the artificial one out of its dusty box. What's that you ask? Do I, amongst all the hundreds of products available in my Café Press stores, happen to have any Christmas decorations? Why yes indeed I do. Now I'm delighted to announce that 5 more ornaments have been added to the range. Please note that th...

Val's Work In Progress: Whither Fiddle-Farting?
http://valwip.blogspot.com/2012/01/whither-fiddle-farting.html
Val's Work In Progress. Schemes and dreams of a hungry artist. Tuesday, 10 January 2012. Welcome back, I hope 2012's kicked off to a great start for you all. Well Christmas was as crummy as I expected it to be in a house full of boredom, depression and short tempers. For once I'm not talking about myself! I've decided to put a bit of money away each week by hook or by crook and go somewhere - anywhere - else next Christmas. I don't care if it's just the hotel on the other side of town! Used in a sentence:.

http://valwip.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Val's Work In Progress. Schemes and dreams of a hungry artist. Saturday, 31 December 2011. So here are just 5 important lessons I've learned over the past 12 months which I'll take with me into 2012 and beyond. 1) You might see something as your destination but it turns out to be a stepping stone. 2) Take baby steps towards your goals. 3) Respect yourself, don't wait for others to respect you. 4) Positivity is contagious. 5) It's better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all. That you l...

Val's Work In Progress. Schemes and dreams of a hungry artist. Saturday, 17 November 2012. Making a Mug of Myself. So another 9 months pass between blog posts and what the heck have I been doing with my time, you may ask? I often ask myself that too. Sheesh. 9 months. I could have had a baby quicker. (I didn't, by the way.). From the Financial Ombudsman and send it to your lender. If you hear nothing back within 8 weeks, don't just assume you've failed. At this point you're entitled to enlist the...My re...

Val's Work In Progress. Schemes and dreams of a hungry artist. Wednesday, 23 January 2013. My Super Duper Superstore. Looking back on last year's lack of updates to this blog, you'd be forgiven for thinking I've been idle for the last 12 months. Well you'd be wrong. In between looking after Mum and keeping the house in a reasonably hygienic condition (I will NEVER be houseproud) I've been plotting. Well my big news is. I've opened a brand new megastore over at Café Press! Give me a Like on there to make ...
