New Arrivals...

Happy weekend everyone! I'm feeling very excited about the arrival of my first grandchild later on this month & this has inspired a few baby themed designs - hope you enjoy!

looking towards christmas...

I know it seems early but I've started doing some new designs looking towards christmas! I have a lovely book called 'All Wrapped Up' - which is a collection of brilliant retro wrapping papers which inspired the festive candle picture.

The last two designs are variations of my 9 patch pictures, 1 with an Irish theme & the other very typically American folk art.

Riot Raffle

Just a quick post to let you all know that I have donated a prize to the Riot Raffle - a raffle devised by Zoe Grant to raise money for small businesses who were affected by the recent riots. Lots of other lovely designer/makers have donated prizes, is such a great way to help those affected. To buy a ticket go to: http://www.riotraffle.org

Latest designs...

Hello, hope everyone has been enjoying the summer - it's been lovely but I am longing for some autumn days now & I know most people won't agree with me but I loved the rain the other day - it made me want to dance in it! This first picture is one I did quite a while ago but forgot to put on here - it's called 'special gifts' & I'm particularly fond of the flowers - I may do a similar picture of just the flowers...

... more luscious pears!

Just some thoughts of summer put into one picture! - 'summer breeze'

Open Day - Thank you!

Love the vintage paper cups I got from a charity shop a long time ago.
