A little late on the "Wednesday" saga... wasn't sure if it was suitable for my 8year old but she's seen all the HP films and they are quite dark... long story short - she loved it and so did I. So much so we now have mum made Wednesday and Enid bookmarks. Also have a "Thing" stitched up - may make him into a Halloween garland.

Not sure if I should make these and sell on Etsy or upload a PDF of my custom made pattern so they can be a DIY halloween project bookmark/decorations, what do you think?

So, a few months back, my little boy asked me to paint him some Avenger characters. I started but never quite got round to completing it, until today, that is!

I have one very happy little 5-year-old - he's told me, I'm not to sell this one! Usually, I paint the Peg Dolls, Wooden Rounds, and Canvases and then sell them. So he's making sure this is just for him (his name is on it, so...)

Large wooden round, door sign, Avenger themed can be made to order for those who have Avenger Fans like me. As it is completely lovingly handmade by me, it can be customised to feature your favourite characters/theme.
Just send me a message!

Had such a lovely weekend painting with my mini me....I finally pulled out the watercolours and surprised myself. I use to paint with watercolours years ago before acyrlics. I don't know why I stopped using watercolours, I'd developed this notion that I couldn't paint with them. Whilst my technique needs work I've actually really enjoyed painting with them!

Made a start on the Mouse King Felt Bauble.
It always feels strange to use colours other than red, green and white at Christmas but I'm actually liking this pastel twist. Not sure how the Nutcracker will look but that's part of the fun of creating something new!

It's that time again...Thomas' birthday on Tuesday and he's a big 5!! Having a homemade cake by mum has become our family tradition.... the peter pan cake Olivia had for her 4th birthday is my all time favourite! Let's see what this year holds for Thomas' cake, the baking is well umderway. The last three years have been Toy Story themed, I can tell you it's not Toy Story themed this year...phew! I was running out of ideas 🤣😂

Room on the Broom story spoons now live in my Etsy Shop.

Perfect resource to accompany your story telling - fully imerge the children as they use the spoons to act out the story. Story Spoons allow children to retell the story and ignites their imagination and social skills to work collaboratively to create their own version of the story.

Great tool for those reluctant children who are working at sitting still and listening - give them a spoon to play that part in the tale.

So this summer (in stolen moments away from my 2 gorgeous, yet totally demanding children) I dared to take a step back in time to my artistic roots and had a ball exploring all things acyrlic. This is one of my favourite pieces I created taking inspiration from USA artist
