Inspiration in nature

I get my inspiration from really strange things, like decaying wood, broken fences, peeling paint and doors...I really love doors. These a few shots I took on a walk with my boyfriend up a country lane and my work car park. I'm sure most people would think them ugly, but I just love the colours, textures, patterns and potential that they hold.

Time to celebrate

There is nothing I love more than the opportunity to make someone a homemade card, usually to celebrate something - a birthday, a new job, a baby, moving house. Here is just a few of the cards I have made for friends and family this year...

Mad for bunting

I recently had a craving to make a friend some bunting for a wedding gift. I don't know why (perhaps because I know she is into vintage things), but I certainly did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. My lovely friend Hannah told me a really easy way of doing it with pinking shears and away I went. I was so please with the result and finished it off by sewing in the happy couples initials and date of their wedding, and presenting it in a wicker basket with some retro wine glasses. She absolutely loved it!

It's been a while...

Wow I can't believe I haven't blogged since January! It's definitely not through a lack of being creative, I just forget to upload stuff! Ok let's try and get some pics up on here...
