  4. I watched it this morning, then tried to find the article on the BBC News website to get the blog address, not a thing, so had to use the net…found it by putting in “mother draws pictures of children growing up” and bingo…but now hours later it is everywhere! We are grandparents now and re-living it all…so thank you for sharing your lovely images…they made us laugh. Please get these published then we can all buy the book as a gifts!

  5. Hi,
    I’ve never seen your site before today but saw you on BBC this morning.. Aw I love your stuff! its amazin! really fun and I love the way u draw it ‘as it is’ brilliant way to look at some of the difficult situations that can arise with the stress of looking after little ones -as lush as they are! (also a Welsh girl- can u tell?!)
    Think its great what you are doing keep going! Have you ever thought of doing family (dont know what you d call it)- sort of like photo shoots but sketches to capture what the family are about – I bet it d really take off- I know I’d love to have you do a sketch of our little family (we have a nearly 2 yr old little boy)I just think tyour sketches are beautiful.. does that make sense? Anyway all the best for the future πŸ™‚ Ali G ( not the man himself though..)

  17. We watched you on the telly this morning and have been looking at your blog today. As a mum of two I can sympathise with a lot of your frustrations and similarly am amazed by my children everyday. Enjoy them, they grow up so quickly and this brings new challenges! They are a gift to be cherished. Please please make enquiries into publishing your fantastic doodles, it would be great to have them available for others to enjoy.

    Found out about you from OMG Ubuntu!’s web site http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/06/blink-and-youll-miss-it-ubuntu-unity-shows-up-in-bbc-news-report. What a fantastic way to record your family as they grow and the day to day adventures little tikes get up to. Will be adding this to my bookmarks. Nice to know a fellow sketcher and Ubuntu user in Wales! P.S. if you read the article, ignore Joey’s comment about “Angie’s home-town of Wales”, think he got a bit excited!
