After being an avid Blog reader, I have decided to start my own!! Haven't completely found my feet yet...so bear with me!!
This will be mainly a design Blog but I suspect my personal life will creep in somewhat as I am an avid heart sleeve wearer and so much of my surroundings, friends and family have impact on my work that it would be impossible to not mention them!
Ok so I'll start with a bit about me and my work..... My main job is being a full time Mum to a mischievous little boy who will be turning 5 this autumn! Besides that I have several part time jobs!!!
I design and sell my handmade gifts online and through word of mouth, I have been doing this for the last 10 years.. here's a little picture of some of them
Then I supply gift shops with my stock, at the moment Lavender Blue in St Albans are selling my hand painted butterfly and Fairy window clings, its a gorgeous shop full of pretties and well worth a look if you are ever in St Albans! http://www.lavenderblueshop.com/Then there's the Weddings!! I make every thing I can to do with Weddings from Invites to Tiaras to decorating the Tables on the day!! I have been lucky to have been involved with some beautiful weddings in the past and am looking forward to one in a castle in September!!! So excited!!
Here's one creation for a gorgeous bride who was a model and used her tiara in a wedding advertisement for Edinburgh Crystal!!
Then I supply my re purposed and vintage style stock to a trader who sells at Hitchin Antiques & Collectors Market every Friday!!! Here's some stock that sold very well!
And Last but certainly not least is a great place called FANTASY CRAFTS in Barton!
This is the only craft place I know with a soul and room to have a cup of tea and play!! I teach craft classes there part time and felt so privileged to be there for its birth!! If you ever in the the area and you love to craft then you MUST visit as there is so much to do...I will go into more details another time but here's a few pics for you to nosey at!!

Well that's it! Seems a lot for a full time Mum but hey you have to do what you have to do!! My Son is starting school in September full time so I am making more plans to reach my dream goal.....to have my own shop before I reach 40!! WATCH THIS SPACE!!!!!!
