Sad News

Jack our 15 year old border terrier passed away between Christmas and New Year. He was suffering from cancer so we knew that he didn't have long. It is so strange not having him with us in the studio everyday. I still expect him to be in front of the fire with his ball under his chin snoozing. RIP Jackaboy. xx

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas!!

Cold enough to snow outside the studio today!!

It's icy and frosty outside the studio today, but still no dusting of snow.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

Wrapping paper and cards bought! I did think about making some this year but there never seems to be any spare time especially with the build up towards the Heimtextil exhibition in January.

So bought gift wrap and homemade labels this year, well at least a bit is handmade!

Happy Halloween!

I had an Halloween party for my daughter at home at the weekend...  Thirteen  4-5 year olds in the house who turned into 13 little monsters jumping on sofas and squashing pizza into the floor (tiled floor thank goodness!) Think we will stick to just Trick or Treating next year.....

A cold and windy day

Woolly hats and scarves on this morning for the first time on the way to school and work. I quite enjoyed walking through all the fallen leaves and promised my daughter that we could leaf print after school....can't wait!!

Wise Little Owl

Last night I went to my first Parent's evening to see how my daughter was getting on at 'Big School'.
I admit I was quite nervous sat outside the office waiting for my daughter's name to be called out.
 I was told that she is such a happy little girl, she loves to learn and is always helping and cuddling others who are upset. Her favourite activity is drawing and making models, that's my girl!!!!
Such a proud mummy!
