….. and breathe!

The festive season is more or less at an end for me and at last I can feel that I can breathe.
Don’t get me wrong, as there are many aspects of Christmas and New Year that I adore, especially spending precious time with friends and family.
Before I look to the year ahead I thought I would share some of my favourite memories from 2017….
The first half of the year saw my passion for painting come to the fore and I spent many a happy hour transforming some begged, borrowed and recused items.
Here are some of my favourites…..
Later in the year I turned my attention to handcrafting a selection of cushions. These were constructed from “free” linen shopping bags, off-cuts of fabrics, and mismatched buttons…..

And when the sun shone I took the opportunity to nurture my garden, (and if I say so myself), with some very pleasing results…
I hope you enjoyed this brief look at some of my work from 2017 and if you are interested in acquiring any of the items shown then please feel free to leave a comment on this website or to send an email.
In the meantime I am looking forward to being as creative and productive in 2018 and wish all my readers and supporters much joy and happiness.
Thank you. x
