In accordance to my new year post I am staying focused on my Etsy shop and trying to keep ahead with seasons and events. I seem to gravitate more and more towards my polymer clay at the moment but I think that it's because I can create whatever odd idea I have (within reason!) as... Continue Reading →
I've been trying to get back into my drawing over the last few weeks; I find it very relaxing but also very hard as I want everything to be perfect first time. I found myself getting very frustrated with my watercolours because nothing seemed to work but I now realise that this was largely because... Continue Reading →

Another year has passed and, as of last Sunday, I am another year older. I have been given a lovely selection of gifts and I appreciate them all but I thought I'd show you the amazing shawl my sister knitted for me. I admired one that she had knitted in the early summer and cheekily... Continue Reading →
Hello! I am a big believer in trying to combine learned techniques with new ways of working. I have made galaxy inspired backgrounds in card making a few times and always loved the results (such as this one - rubbish photo but you get the idea) but since I am now totally in love with...
