I had intended to post one of these pictures last week but the week just flew by and before I knew it I was eating chocolate and drawing an Easter rabbit so it is a bit of a ‘buy one get one free’ blog post today!

It is also the start of world watercolour month… Continue reading Colourful Toucan

THANK YOU to everyone who attended yesterday's craft fair and to the lovely people who bought my decorations and jewellery. Also, special shout out to Maria from @makers_and_vintage_market for arranging another fantastic market. Roll on December 8th for my next fair! #craftfair #feelinggrateful #christmasiscoming
Today is going to be a busy one as I am in the final stages of prepping for tomorrow's craft fair (guess who still has to price all the jewellery and check my final table set up? πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ) A two week half term holiday for the kids has been lovely but slightly bad timing. Anyhoo, my autumn leaves earrings were super popular 2 years ago so they are making a reappearance tomorrow alongside this single autumn leaves necklace @makers_and_vintage_market #jewelrydesigner #handmadejewelry #polymerclayjewellery #autumnleaves #handmadeisbest #polymerclayartist #autumnvibes🍁 #autumnjewellery #earringsaddict #earrings #earringsoftheday
Ah, my Christmas decorations this year are finally finished. A little different from the Santa and snowmen from previous years but I love them. Little woodland animals with toadstools, pinecones and acorns. They will be having their debut at this year's @makers_and_vintage_market this Sunday but just as soon as I get a chance they will also be available in my Etsy shop πŸ˜€ #woodlandchristmas #woodlandanimals #christmasdecor #christmasiscoming #christmas2019 #craftfairprep #etsyseller #etsylove #ilovechristmas #polymerclay @fimostaedtler #myfimo #polymerclayanimals #polymerclayartist
