Ducks and Seagulls Galore!

Busy working on my Exhibition which starts at The Lander Gallery in Truro on the 1st September!
Ducks and Seagulls have been the subject this week!




An arrival of 400 different buttons has totally side tracked me into sewing little bags with buttons and felt flowers. I think they will make lovely mini party bags or wedding favours and I will add them to the new party section on my website soon! I have also been working on my new felt corsages as we have sold out! Pictures to follow!

The Summer shopping evenings have been going really well. Thank you to everyone who escaped the Sofa to have a browse

The Summer sale ends soon. There are lots of new lines added so do check it out!

Also new to the website is my 5 piece commissioned Breakfast Set
I can work from your photographs or descriptions to create your own unique Tea Set.
Favourite Flowers, Places, Pets, Family Holidays, Weddings, Christenings, Anniversaries, Retirement, Birthdays anything you like ! Click here for more details


A Treasury of beautiful items to finish! Thanks for Visiting! See you soon!

Wednesday & More about my Gallery!

Attempting to work at home with the kids. Summer Madness seems to have spread and they are very hyper! I think it's the paddling pools fault, they must be water-powered!

I have just ordered some note cards with my lovely Bumblebee on and these will be available to buy on my website soon


I am currently updating all the photos on my website. This is proving to be quite a challenge!
I also ordered some "this way" Signs and banners for my Summer Gallery Open Evenings. These start on 2nd August and will be running every Tuesday and Thursday 5.30-9pm until the end of August.
