Prism drawing

 

I have just made a new drawing called 'Prisms 001', in the hope I will make more of these drawings exploring colours and shapes. Special thanks to the lovely Dana Piazza for talking with me about the drawing and giving me motivation to keep exploring this subject ❤️ he is a wonderful artist and kind person ✨

Tumble Ted

 

Emma's first Christmas present (of this year) ❤️ a 'Mr Tumble' teddy. She loves the program. Amazing clothes are by JudesCottageCrafts

Huge thanks to my sister for selling my wedding dress to fund the present. And to my mum for providing the teddy. I want to get organized for Xmas this year. One little present each month from now till Xmas should do it!  

Cross stitch

 

I'm hoping after my maths GCSE studies are done (in a month) to have some time to cross stitch again... These designs are by Jacqui Pearce of Crafteretti ✨

I put it all aside for a year whilst I try to get through the course. But now it's coming to an end, I'm looking forward to having some moments to get stitching again and finishing some projects. Someone once told me no one else can make you happy, only yourself and it's so true, you have to do it for you ❤️

Playing with pattern

 

A card for my maths teacher...

Something I plan to make bigger...

Mostly based on cornflowers and wild flowers 🌼

Hope you have a good weekend, it's almost here.

Some new material for Emma's hexi quilt ❤️

It's still growing very slowly, I wonder if I'll ever finish it...

New crayons for Emma ❤️ hope your having a good bank holiday

Emma's birthday

Emma has turned 3 ❤️ she received some meg and mog toys and books (she loves the series) and some Winnie the pooh books.

Emma asked to go to the forest for her birthday and her wish was granted ❤️

 Her meg and mog birthday cake ❤️

And a dodgy meg and mog birthday card made by mummy ❤️ Happy birthday to my little darling ❤️ we all love you so much ❤️

Favourite places

Primroses in the cemetery

And Brockenhurst in the New Forest 🌿

Beginning of April

All the magnolias have bloomed at once in the U.K 🌸

It's been raining all week but we finally went on a little walk to the park today, very wet out there.

New little salt and pepper mice ❤️ from my sweet mum. Hope you have a lovely Easter ✨

Birthday mugs

My mum, dad, sister and best mate gave me Emma Bridgewater mugs for my birthday ❤️ 

It's so kind of them ❤️ I love EB mugs. Emma and I also made a mothers day card for my mum.

Just little things that have brought happiness lately ❤️ and mine and Emma's favourite walk in the cemetery. I switched off social media recently. I don't know if I'll go back. I want to feel more present in the world so I'm going to see how it goes.

Hope you have a good week ❤️

Passing on the kindness

It's was my dear friend Soph's birthday recently ❤️ I've given her some of my fabric stash to start her own EPP quilt for her birthday. 

Pat from PrelovedReloved was kind enough to gift me a lot of fabric for Emma's quilt. And I thought it would be nice to pass on the kindness and give some to Soph ❤️ 

I hope she enjoys it as much as I have ❤️ happy birthday to my dear friend. We have know each other since nursury, I am so lucky to have her in my life ❤️

February

 The end of February...

We've been really ill these last few days with a sickness bug and we're still not better. I've felt really fed up with it all but there's always things to be grateful for. And today at the park with my little girl was lovely 🌞 wonderful sunshine.

Hope your weeks going ok, not long till the spring now. I can't wait for warmer weather and the flowers to return 🌸 

Albert's birthday

 Today we celebrated Albert's birthday 🎂 we made this card for him ❤️

I had to include a pic of the cake my sister made for her son, she is so good at baking. Her skills amaze me. It was so lovely to see them all again...

Happy birthday to my dear little nephew, I love you ❤️ what a privilege it is to be your Auntie, you are the sweetest boy in the world ❤️

Dolls house

I've wanted to get Emma a dolls house for her birthday this year. But they are very expensive so I've been saving up. So imagine how thrilled I was when Emma's grandma gave us her one!

It is so very kind of her and I am so grateful! I don't know who was more excited, mummy or Emma?! But she hasn't stopped playing with it since it's come home. She always says 'mummy let's play the dollies' ❤️ 

It will be treasured and I will keep it in the loft one day when Emma has grown out of it for her children ❤️ a family heirloom, thank you so much grandma ❤️
