April Showers!




Well.. I think this awful weather takes the phrase 'April Showers' to a new level!

Heavy rain.. high winds and flooded roads. I find the only cure for having to stay indoors during such awful weather is.. TEA! So here I am.. getting my head down in the studio with a steaming hot cuppa and some of my favourite Jammy Dodger biscuits.

My creative ideas always seem to match my mood, and this weekend I really felt like getting messy.. so out came the clay and paints.. here's what I've been creating!


Jammy Dodger Biscuit Brooches


After a busy day in the studio, I decided to relax in front of the television with a good film and some popcorn. Those of you that know me well, will know that I cant sit still for long! So during the film I finished making up some cute little felt brooches that I started months ago (I never finish things!).. Here's the end result of my 'relaxing Saturday evening'...



Afternoon Tea Felt Brooches

These were hand-stitched using small dolls house miniatures, safety pins and ribbon. I love the finished design and will definitely be making some more of these to take to my next event! 

Well that's all from me today! I hope the weather picks up wherever you are.. and if not you've got the perfect excuse to stick the kettle on and get creating xxx
