I’m causing chaos to my work space by “organising” EVERYTHING. I’m moving house in 8 days (eeeek) and I’ve been covered in dust for 2. I think it’s going well :)

This does mean my shop will close its doors for a week or 2 until we arrange the broadband and work space at the other end. I’ll keep you up dated on here. The shop will close on WEDNESDAY 31ST – my last post office day will be THURSDAY 1ST.

This is just a quick post because the time has come to edit my shoes… sigh…

Some new hand painted cotton spool baubles have entered the shop!

My drawings start off really scruffy and by the time I’m armed with a pen they look awful! I’ve mentioned in previous posts about how I try to be a perfectionist when it comes to doodling in sketchbooks and I find it really tricky to let my hair down, so to speak, and just draw. But it’s a really nice feeling when a picture you almost give up on  turns into something your’re really pleased with. I think what I’m trying to say is: Scruffy is good.

And now there is a new print in the shop :)

A little glimpse at what I’m making. These things have been so popular and I love painting on them. So far I have completed 9, so there will be a big shop update when these beauties are ready. I’ll keep you posted of course!

Tonight we’re off to the theatre to see THIS!!! I’ve not been to see a play in soooo long and I got so excited about the prospect of going to see some whodunnits on stage that I went and bought my tickets at the start of MAY. Early bird indeed – BUT it means we should have great seats. Tonight’s performance is “Sweet Revenge” – A Francis Durbridge classic. We’re going to start the evening off with Pizza too… Oh what a perfect line-up. Pizza and a splash of murder… so exciting!

Colourful etsy finds I’m in love with at the moment. 1. Blue Coffee pot from Luncheonettevintage. 2. Feather Garland by kayeblegvad. 3. Striped messenger bag by ikabags. 4. Wooden necklace by Snugstudio.

I got some beautiful slippers from my Ma while I was adventuring up in Orkney. The patterns and bright colours are beautiful and I can feel some projects brewing as a result. Also I’ve dug out some inspirational etsy finds as a result…

5. Folk Peacock from GinghamLife 6. Table cloth from VintageKeepsakes 7. Cross Stitch throw from Lunaparkfoundry. (All pictures credits go to the sellers)

2 new paintings making their way into the shop! Both these pieces were in the recent show at the Malt Cross and are priced at £55 each. Keep your eyes peeled for more paintings up for grabs very soon!
