Chelsea & the rest...

Alie went to Chelsea this week... Chelsea always inspires a floral picture or two & this is called 'flower market!'

I've seen a few pretty bird cages recently - I like to think of the birds flying out of them.

I haven't done a cupcake picture for a while but wanted to use this lovely blue fabric & it seemed to fit.

Anyone who knows me knows that I love French things & espadrilles are so lovely, especially in all different colours & prints...

... Here are some mens' ones.

 One last flower picture for now, hope you like!

Open Day!

This saturday I will be having an open day at my house from 3 - 7pm. I will be selling cards, pictures and lots of other delights! My daughter Alie will be selling floral arrangements in vintage teacups and cans and my other daughter Georgia will be selling a lovely selection of patterned mirrors & badges! Please come along for a slice of cake & cup of tea! - Please e-mail me for my address if you'd like to come along.. love Sharon x

watering can, ballet dancer & beach hut!

Another watering can - I do like them filled with lovely garden blooms!

A floral beach hut for a change...

This sweet ballet dancer was done for Lizzie - who lives & breathes ballet!

Hope you like these - there's more on the way...

All good things come in three...

Here are a few new designs I've been working on which have been inspired by the lovely springtime weather & looking forward to Easter time...

The Princess and the pea...

Hope you like my slightly grumpy looking but nevertheless, true princess - I just love this story, it's so silly!

What can I say... more fruit!

Garden flowers

Here's some new pictures which I've just finished. I love gardens with rusty old pots and watering cans and thought this one looked nice with a bunch of cutting in it. - I put a delphinium in there because my daughter Alie loves them!

A very happy snail...

Someone told me I haven't put enough seaside pictures on my blog - I actually do quite a few so here's one to make a start! Hope you like them! x

Valentine day workshop...

Just a short post to let you all know about a workshop me & Helena are doing at Writtle Village Hall next week - make your own unique placemats. - The workshop will take place on february 14th (valentine's day!) & starts at 7.30. Please leave a comment / e-mail me if you're interested. Be lovely to see you there!

This is a new design entitled 'Coffee in the kitchen.'

This picture was a commission for someone & I must admit, I can't help but like the cute friendliness of the little critter!
