Lot´s of new items have hit the shop! Especially lot´s of new signs/plaques! I just love making these :)

More Christmas goodies...

More Christmas goodies in the shop today! :) I´ve been a busy bunny this week with plaques and things for the shop :)

I have to go for a fabric and ribbon shop tomorrow to stock up on goodies and then this weekend I´ll have EVEN MORE goodies for the shop :) So keep your eyes peeled folks!

Sad today, as my Dad goes home tomorrow morning back to the UK :( No more visitors now and I have a week home alone (one of my biggest hates - sad face!) so not looking forward to tomorrow...partly, this is why I am going fabric and ribbon shopping to try and keep myself busy!!! :)

Anyway, Happy Thursday folks! x

Make a W I S H on a star...

When you wish upon a star.....

Here´s another Christmas themed product that´s new in the Etsy shop this week :)

I have a few more plaques making their way as well this week - so watch this space!

Happy Thursday folks! x

Getting in the mood for Christmas!

Over the summer months I don´t teach (my day job).... The perks of the job! 2 months off work ;) During this time I prepare for the christmas season in my shops - my most favourite time of the year :) Here´s my first Christmas creation of the year!

I know it´s only August...but some of us have to plan ahead (and secretly I love it! lol)

So here´s to December and the joys of Christmas! x

My dearest Auntie Pegs...

My dearest Auntie Peggy passed away at the beginning of this year. We wrote to each other regularly and were both very creative and artistic. When she passed, one thing she left me was a big bowl full of vintage buttons...something I am sooooo pleased about. They are currently back at my Mum´s in the UK, so when I went to visit I chose a bunch of my favourites in different colours to take home to create something with. I have in my head a haert shaped button display on a cushion for our bed :) Making something new and sentimental out of something so simple and basic as buttons. I´m looking forward to getting started on it and will of course, show you all when I´ve finished creating...watch this space! :)

Hope your all having a nice relaxing Sunday! x

The good old British summer!

I´ve been back to the UK this month to catch up with family and friends :) The weather was typically British throughout and mainly drizzled or just poured down. But in true Brit style on my last day it was sunny! lol

I sat in my mum´s garden enjoying the sunshine and managed to capture this photo by her pond...I love the way the bee´s legs look like they are swinging :) Just beautiful!

Happy thursday folks! x
