Here's a commission I have recently made for a bride to be from her hen girls.They wanted a little note included on the reverse. I do love this little saying.I like the simplicity and cleaness of how it looks and just the simple good luck and love it sends.Good luck Mr and Mrs Martin on the 3rd December. I wish you a fantastic day and many years of love and happiness!

Here's my printable Letter to Santa/Father Christmas.what do you think? I will personalise it with you child's name, age and address. All you need to do is print it out, get your child to write their letter, pop it in an envelope add a stamp and send it to the address attached before the 14th December and tah dah your child will receive a reply before christmas.

Christmas is coming! too quickly for my liking though. I'm making my way through rather a lovely long list of goodies for lots of customers.I will try and post as much as I can but time is precious at the moment.Anyway here's a couple of the stockings I have just finished and will keep posting as and when I get the chance with the rest of the stockings and other goodies I'm making.

I've been very behind on posting on here lately, sorry. Hence the bulk posting this morning.Here's a special gift I made a while ago using Oscar's own baby grows. His mummy wanted some padded letters that she can hang in his room and a special keepsake, so picked some of his favourite babygrows for me to up-cycle and use.

Here's a couple of prints I've been working on with a retro mini. I tried with a just pattern in bright blues, reds and whites and then I tried it with the Union Jack too. What do you think?It can be personalised with a name of your choice. Frame it up to brighten any boys (or car loving girls) bedroom or study.

Here'd a personalised owl print I've worked on. It's an 8 x 10' print that can be personalised with any name and a date if required. Would make a great print framed up in any children's room.

The Keep Calm concept seems to still be very big over here if not world wide. I have recently had a commission in requesting me to create on of these. It was to link it with a vintagey British theme of their wedding. The colour was set to a slate blue/grey to match the rest of their wedding and had a union jack in the background made up of text. Clare just wanted the date on hers and it will be

My little cupcake designs I created for the printable invites have gone down a treat. I have been asked to use these as someones new stationary for their business.So I set to work turning it into their business card, letterhead and compliment slip. The colours were changed and I think it looks good in the purples.What do you think?

I was asked to create something for a friends second anniversary. Being cotton Nicola thought it would be great if I made something from cotton that had a meaning behind it too.So we decided on a message, using their first dance from their wedding in there too.

Here's the gift I made as Kim and Jay's wedding present. The black text is actually silver foil. Sorry it's not the best photo the light just wasn't right when I needed to get it wrapped up. Hope they liked it.I managed to get in the names of the bridesmaids, ushers, the place they got married and few sayings as well as their names and date ofcourse.

I'm busy at the moment trying to collate some available artworks I have as well as creating lots of new things for the Surtex fair in New York. I'm not off there myself (shame hey) but working for an agency called Milkprint. There's not many days to go now, starting to worry that I've not had the time to create as many new designs as I'd like or that I have ideas floating around in my head!!

The lilac is coming in to full bloom and is just beautiful. The scent is amazing too. I love the fact that there is just so many little flowers in a spray.they're great to photograph and draw. The colours vary so much from tree to tree I wish I'd brought my big camera with me.The white ones aren't quite out in full bloom yet.I like the way this dark tree has extra bits in the centres.- Posted

Here's Charlie and Alyssa-Rose's swimbag. Tina wanted pretty swim bags for her two lovely little twins.They are fully lined with waterproof fabric too. The drawstring goes across the back diagonally so they can at some stage be able to wear them over their backs too. They're too young at the moment.Tina wanted bunting on them both and camper vans on charlies. What do you think?

I have got several pairs of little wedding 'Love Birds' to make at the moment.Here's the first of many. You can have them to match any colour theme for your wedding. I am making most of them as little gifts from the bridesmaids to the brides as a lovely keepsake for them to carry.I remember when I was little every bride seem to get given good luck charms; horseshoes, black cats, rolling pins, I

Hi, Thank you all for all your lovely comments and suggestions on here and on facebook.I've tweaked the design alittle after the feedback and think it has made lots of difference :) I'm now looking into several options on this after a request for it as printed fabric.Think the tea towel idea is cool too so I'm also on the look out for that.

I had a couple of thank you gifts to make for a customer. A wedding cake and a cupcake were in order. They were pretty little things to create. Lovely fabrics and beads, a little lace topped off with buttons, ribbon roses and bows. There's still a few more things to make for her. Watch this space...

Lovely spring is here everything is growing, starting to bud and bloom. Though there's still crisp frosty mornings which are nice as you get lovely sunrises. The crocuses are out see the pretty purple ones below. This rather lovely hydrangea I brought last week for my mums anniversary. Isn't it beautiful?! Hopefully it will grow nicely, its supposed to be an indoor one.

I shall post up what they look like in the sock shape, see what you think.

These pretty little hearts went off in the post on Friday and hopefully haven't got stuck in the snow somewhere. I had the lovely order in for this ladies Nanny. They were for her daughter and niece to give to their Great Nanny which I thought was great!! What do you think??Close up of their names on the reverse. Really loving these fabrics!- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We're lucky enough not to have the snow.......as yet but we've been having some very hard frosts which result in pretty mornings aswell as freezing cold ones. This morning the frost never really went so I got out and took a few photos on the fallen leaves. They always look pretty edged with ice.Oh and a couple of tiny frozen fungi.- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Sorry I've not posted for a while. It's all been a bit crazy most of the work i'm doing I can't show you yet either. I've had a few craft fairs which I'll post about but this brief post is flying trip to Ireland on Tuesday. My other half needed to go and look at trailers, exciting stuff you may think or maybe not he he. But it was a chance for an adventure for the day and a little plane trip.....

I carved my first ever pumpkin this Halloween. I've just never got around to it before. It was great fun. I want to do more and bigger ones next year! Here's the little critter....what do you think??

Well the shops are getting all Christmassy again already and we've not even had halloween yet. Yes I feel it is a little early even though I work on it all year round.It was nice to see this week though when I popped in the BHS to get some samples of my cards that are in this year.Sorry the photos aren't very good atall, they were quick sneaky snaps on my not so great camera phone. there is

A while ago I think I showed you a pair of ivory and gold love birds I made.They were for my friends little girl who was being bridesmaid to give to the bride as a little good luck gift to hold.It was lovely to make these as those sort of gifts sadly you don't see around so much anymore. I remember seeing family photos of the bride holding many a concoction of wooden spoons, rolling pins,

Hi FolksSorry it's been a bit of a busy couple of weeks. Lots of different work on, which is good but keeping me distracted from here. I've got lots of photos to upload and show you but never seem to have quite enough time to sit down and do it.Here's a close up of a little design project I've been working on for a customer. There's several products and It looks like this is going to be a reject.

My oldest friend is a childminder and she wanted a new logo. Her and her friend are now working under a umbrella and sharing workload when necessary. They gave me an idea of what they wanted and here's the result. They are very pleased with it and it will be going across all their new paper work as well as a logo on t-shirts etc.

Anyone else feeling Christmassy yet??? I never know when to anymore as (if I haven't told you before) I work on Christmas all year round and have done for the last 10 years.Here's a couple of snowflakes and pretty swirls I've worked on recently.

My friend Louise does a lot of running for charity and wanted a new t-shirt for her next big run, the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October. She runs for Theatre Mad see the link if you want to have a peek and see what a good charity this is. Which relates to what her two favourite theatre productions are at the moment. She wanted me to combine Priscilla, Queen of the desert with The Lion King.

I made up these little cuties last night. I want to make more (I like them coming to life from bits and pieces of scrap fabrics)......but better see if they sell or not first.Thought they'd be great to put in your drawers smelling all nice and lavendery, don't you think??I shall try them at the fair tomorrow and see how they go down. Any opinions appreciated. Thanks :)

Claire and I are doing another craft fair this weekend, tomorrow Saturday 25th September. It's at St Nicholas's Church Hall 10-4 in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. So if anyone would like to pop along and see us aswell as all the other lovely people and their beautiful goods please feel free. I'm sure you'll be able to get a cuppa and a cake too. It's the first one we've done there and just hoping that

I wanted to get some plain bunting made. I wanted to tweak the shape so its different to what I normally do and what everyone else does too.Something that was more of a budget product than my luxury personalised bunting. So it has no extras on it and has raw unfinished edges, more shabby-chic.I've got several colourways to do. I wanted to see what the reactions were on it at the fair this

I had this commission for a pair of pretty ivory and gold love birds for a bridesmaid to give to the bride. Something a little different to a horseshoe or a wooden spoon. Do they still do that these days?? Once the wedding has taken place I'm hoping to have some photos to put up for you.

I had an artwork to do recently and although I can't show you it I wanted to share a couple of snippets as I liked the end result. I have a thing about drawing birds as you might have noticed :)

Well I'm thinking Friday is a nice day to post these pretty pink flower photos I have. I wanted to share a bit of summer before it really is all gone and we have grey wet days every day.They were taken in either my grans garden or G's.

A friend asked me to crochet some pretty flower hair clips and hairbands for her daughter and her niece. Here's one finished set. They are a nice dusky pink colour which you might not be able to tell from the dodgy lighting on the photos. I stitched on some little pretty pink buttons in the middles. Hopefully they will get them in the post today.
