France.....

Hello all, I'm going to France today for a few days to see my wee baby nephew...so there'll be no blogging from me until next week. Thanks to everyone for their lovely comments. Have a wonderful Easter.

Well well well!

What a delight!

I recently discovered this wonderful lady's shop on Etsy. She makes such playful and wonderful work, it sometimes makes me chuckle....

She is from Malaysia and she has a blog too.

Here it is: http://minifanfan.blogspot.com/ 

GO and take a peek! She makes all kinds of things. I especially like 'Tina' the necklace.

A sneaky peak...

......A sneaky peak of what I have been doing this evening. 

I have a stall at a handmade market in York on Saturday. Please pop down if you're up that way! There will be brooches like this for sale, along with some other treats...

I like little notebooks.

....so I made some.

I am currently making some that are a wee bit bigger, for those people that have a lot of things to write. 

Have you seen my work for sale at www.fromthewilde.com ?

A lovely surprise...

Well well well...  I just discovered the artwork of Lee May Foster-Wilson.

She really is a multi-talented lady. She not only produces beautiful, lyrical paintings....

She also makes jewellery, clothing, accessories and screen prints. She is also a very good horse rider. (Which I always have respect for-I once had a bad experience on a horse up a mountain in Honduras, so I always think people who can ride are very clever).

Instead of me babbling about her... You should look at her wonderful website and see for yourself.

Here are some of my favourite images. I'm saving my pennies for the scarf. There's something rather mystical and nostalgic about her work...for me anyway. I cant quite put my finger on it. 

Packed!

I have been rather busy over the last week, making all of these little creatures. They are hand sewn from calico and painted...

They are all ready now in their frames to be taken to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, along with some prints and cards. They are having an exhibition there on the 8th of April and I'm excited for my work to be included....

I hope it is sunny tomorrow, as I'm spending the day there and I love it! I think I'll take a picnic. I thoroughly recommend going there if you haven't already been.

Ooh I say!

I do rather like these lovely items from LilyMoon.

She likes to make these lovely badges and boats made from sweet wrappers. She also like to watch people smile, which I think is a lovely thing to like.

You can visit her shop here.
