Giveaway Winners

I’m so pleased to be home! Sunday night was the best feeling walking out of the hospital, and I still can’t believe how well I’m feeling. I’m still a little bit delicate, sore and tired but those things are to be expected. I don’t remember recovering this quickly last year. The doctors have advised me […]

Cupcakes, Ice Cream Recipe, Blog Award

After a rough week I’m feeling much better. I had surgery on my right lung last year, and last week my left lung collapsed as well, so I’ve been spending some time in hospital again and am relieved that I’m fully fixed forever now. Thank you to everyone who has passed on kind comments, it […]

Handmade Journals

I’ve been having a play! The other day I was looking through some old magazines that I was going to shred for recyclable packaging, and came across some interesting images and decorative wording that I thought were too nice to shred, so I decided to tear them out and make something. I was inspired by […]

Photos of Work outdoors

‘Frosted Lake Wavy Dish’ Now that the sun seems to be shining more recently, I’ve been photographing some of my work outside. The natural light is so much better than relying on the bursts that shine through the window, lights in the house, and the flash on the camera. I’ve found that the natural light […]

Today’s selected colour is yellow, and I’ve chosen these images as they are related to spring. My favourite selection of images featured on Poppytalk this […]

Trip to Dairy Farm & some more news

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 […]

My Creative Space – Work in progress

I’ve been busy making lots of new work this week. It has been nice spending time out in the workshop. I’ve discovered that I’m motivated by music! I seem to get more done when listening to a CD or the radio, and spend less time faffing. The music seems to keep me working constantly. I’ve […]

Molly

Molly is now 9 months old, I can’t believe how fast the time has gone since I got her as a kitten. ‘Molly Moo’, as she is now famously known in our house, is such a cute, loving, energetic and lively character. When we first brought her home we thought she would be no trouble […]

Wholesale order

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 […]
