• I’ve been waiting weeks for Millie and Bombassa Dizzy DIY to be approved on the iTunes iBook Store and today it has gone live. And then, after just a few days, the second Millie and Bombassa book, Air Scare, has gone live to. My cup runneth over and I feel joy abounding!! Click the pictures to go to the iBooks store.

    Bombassa is a lazy but loveable rhino. Millie is a sensible but sweet bird. Together they make a great pair!

    These stories have consistently been at the top of my Library borrowing statistics as they are read again and again. I know they are much loved. I love Bombassa – He’s kind of my grumpy, don’t want to get out of bed side of me, while Millie is the side of me that sees me still working at quarter to 11 on a Friday night!

    Each story contains a drawing video and a quiz, and Dizzy DIY has a video showing you how to make an origami box.

    If you like these books, please leave a comment on iTunes. It really does help.

  • Getting the Jubilee off to a good start, here’s a lesson showing you how to draw he Imperial State Crown.

    It’s the Queen of England (and Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland and the Commonwealth’s) 60th year on the throne this year and we are having bait of a jubilation here in the Britain, so I thought I do some royal drawings. I’m starting with the Imperial State Crown that the Queen wore when she was crowned and which she wears on State occasions like this week’s opening of Parliament.

  • They don’t look equal or parallell, but they are! Watch the video, do it yourself and prove that each strip is exactly the same.
