A customer asked me to make some hearts bunting for her little girls bedroom last week. What a lovely idea, her daughter is only 3, the youngest person to own some of my ceramics I think! I really enjoyed making this. The completed hearts were threaded onto pink ribbon – I’d been waiting to use […]
I’ve always preferred savoury food over sweet. Not that I don’t enjoy chocolate brownies and marshmallows now and again (mmmm!), but whenever I’m feeling peckish savoury always wins.

What a lovely day it has been today! The sun has been shining all day long, we’ve had the patio doors open and have had some washing drying on the line. It’s a lovely feeling knowing spring is on the way. I can’t wait for the full warmer, longer days when we can sit outside […]
