I don’t know about you, but November felt like the longest month in the history of months.
You know when you sit down and think, What have I actually done? And your brain just goes… nope?

That was me. But once I’d had a little rummage around in my memory, I realised November has been absolutely packed – in the loveliest, most chaotic way. So here’s a little round-up of everything that’s been going on behind the scenes in November.

🌺 A Portugal Reset

Two weeks of painting, coaching, tears, breakthroughs and shadow-side work – and I came home feeling softer, stretched and strangely new.

🧹 The Studio Shake-Up

Walked into my studio, instantly hated it, and have been rearranging everything ever since. Dust, dogs, drawers… all getting a rethink so the space actually works for my brain.

🎨 Drawing Days & Dry Stone Joy

Ignite’s In Focus Week was full of clouds, trees, textures and the most exciting dry stone wall. Plus cosy evening commission drawing, Potter on, dogs snoring, and a new notebook full of teaching “Bonny-isms”.

✨ Finding Your Spark Again

Find Your Spark Month has been amazing – daily prompts, gentle affirmations, and the Spark App becoming that tiny creative companion whispering, “you’ve got this”.

🎄 Countdown to the Christmas Kitten

My 12 Days of Christmas draw along starts 14th December – one short, cosy step a day, a very grumpy festive kitten, advent-style doors in the app… and it’s all completely free to keep forever.

🌿 A Little Creative Escape (If You Fancy One)

And if all this November creativity has sparked something in you – that little whisper of “I’d love a day just for me” – my Exmoor Pony Foal Workshop might be the perfect thing for you! 

📅 Sunday 8th December · 10AM–5PM (UK) · Live on Zoom

It’s a full, cosy day of drawing together, taking things slowly, gently, and in a way that feels really doable. You’ll get everything you need – the reference photo, line art, materials list, and lifetime access to the replay so you can revisit it whenever you fancy.

We’re working on the sweetest fuzzy foal in the snow, a brilliant subject for practising softness and values without the pressure of tiny details.

£125 for the full day – a lovely pre-Christmas treat for yourself.

A gentle way to settle into December, and carry that creative spark straight into the next Chronicle. ✨
