Oops my blog has been neglected lately, I’ve been so busy and lots of exciting things are happening at the moment… I was away last week staying in a log cabin with some friends, we didn’t get any snow but we had a great time! Valentines Day is fast approaching so I’ve been busy making personalised engraved […]

What another lovely weekend it has been, with a mixture of warm weather, making new work, spring cleaning the house, clothes shopping, jogging in preparation for Race For Life, and a brilliant day yesterday for Mother’s Day. Rather than cooking a full sit down meal, we decided to do buffet type food and that went […]
I have finally managed to complete one of the biggest things on my ‘to do’ list, which was to start a monthly newsletter. It took a while for me to get to grips with how it all works using the Mail Chimp program, but now that I have it fathomed I am looking forward to […]

We visited a local dairy farm at the weekend, where they are holding a series of lambing weekends throughout March. It was a lovely day, the sun was so bright and its the first time I’d seen clear blue skies in a while. I got a bit too excited by the sun and thought I’d […]
I was contacted a couple of weeks ago by a couple who are about to open a new gift store in historic Lavenham in Suffolk, stocking handmade products from around the world. They were keen to stock a large selection of my work – I was delighted. They purchased some of my products upfront, and […]
I decided to join Etsy a few days ago, I thought it would be good to start getting my work noticed worldwide as well as in the UK. I’m really enjoying my experience of Etsy so far, there is so much to learn and I’m discovering new inspiring things every day. You might have noticed […]
Wow, I can’t believe my Organic Tree Bark Vessel made it into the short-list in the Handmade Olympics for Event 1 – ‘Favourite Handmade Goodie with an Innovative Design’. I’m so pleased, thank you so much to everyone who voted for me. Now I’m going to ask another cheeky favour! If you like my work, […]
