Yoo Hoo!
Hello, you’ve stumbled across my life!
My name is Angie Stevens and this is my blog. As you can see it’s mostly drawn. A visual representation of my life! Go on take a peek, it won’t hurt…I started it when my youngest was only nine months old and I was in my own little box of foggy, sleep deprived misery.
Lots of manic musings and drawings regarding my life and other such things, it really is a laugh although sometimes it may be me that’s the only one laughing…..This is my blog, a daily record of my life. I’m married and live in a little world of jaffa cakes and lego. I’ve been drawing this blog for nine years now. I started as a means of coping with post natal depression and the isolation that it can bring. I draw most days and I’m showing no signs of stopping. Thanks to this blog, I’m now a published author so from very small beginnings come big things. Thank you for stopping by.
Well go on then! Go and look or I’ll start writing….or even worse, talking….

Hi Angie…it’s Debbie “Saturday- training- in- Singleton- Park -with- Gwerin” Tamplin aka Debs!! Loving the blog….the illustrations are GORGEOUS!! You really should get some books published. Hope Millie, Evie & Gruff are bringing you much joy as always & that you & Miles are well, has the cold gone? Will miss you on Saturday as we have the “Big Day of Moving” but I shall see you the following week armed with wand as promised!!
Take care, bye for now

I have been so busy caring for my kids, I almost forgot to care about the time I have with them. You have inspired me to pick up my pencils again and take a look at what I have.

Hi Angie! I have never seen so much talent ever before in my life! Your sketches are absolutely crazy cute. I just recently subscribed and can’t wait to see a new post from you in my inbox! I am hooked on you! You are incredible! Is there any way that you can do a doodle or sketch of my two dogs together? I would love to have that! Let me know! Although I might be one of your newest subscribers, I am your BIGGEST FAN! {Valerie}
