Hello! It seems a like lifetime since I wrote a blog post. Its been a looooong 6 weeks or so (possibly 6 months but who’s counting). My laptop broke, closely followed by my mobile phone, closely followed by my tumble dryer – it’s summer I know, I can dry my washing outside but it won’t… Continue reading A Little Catch Up……
I intended to post my illustration on Saturday (as I have for the last two weeks) but I’m still working on it so I thought I’d share a simple birthday card that I made before Christmas.

I’m not one to say no to a good idea so out came my beads and head… Continue reading Handmade Embellishments
Hello, I thought I’d drop in between loads of laundry and school summer plays to show you my recent makes. A family member saw a sterling silver necklace I had made on my Facebook page (shameless plug for The Artisan Duck on Facebook – feel free to find me and like!) and asked for one… Continue reading Cake Card and More.
