Christmas Decorations have started!

Just putting the ribbons on the first batch of my metal work Christmas decorations! These are actually ordered & will be in their way to Inverness this week to the Castle Gallery. It still feels very early to be starting Christmas but to be honest I've usually made some decorations by this time. I have some ideas for new designs which I will get going on shortly.....

New pencil cases - back to school!

Summer holidays are nearly over....I remember the blow of going back to school be softened by the puchase of a new pencil case! I've just got some new stock into the shop which I think both adults & children will enjoy. Notebooks & purses to match prices £6 - £8 bargains!!

I've also got these really cute little wooden birdie pegs. They look sweet just pegged out in a line but also in the little bird house they are supplied in.

Continuing with the bird theme these metal pieces make brilliant gifts, the jewellery tree looks lovely just as a decoration but is great for displaying your earring collection, the picture frame & hooks would make a super gift for a wedding....all very reasonably priced £10 or under!

More cakes.....

Yesterday was fab at Sue's...everybody had made a real effort & there were some very imaginative creations especially the artist themed ones!

I was very lucky and allowed to take one of the printed galleon muffins home for Tim, he of course was delighted & we get to keep the printed pieces.

Hopefully this will become a regular event, although not too often as the cakes are very easy to eat!!

Fairy Cakes

Today I'm off to an ArtTea party at Sue Brown's house! Last night I spent quite a while making my edible offerings....

Although there is a lot of sugar involved in the icing the cakes are made with wholemeal flour so they are GOOD FOR YOU!

I've never really worked with icing before & it's quite tricky but I'm fairly pleased with my efforts!

Inspired by the cup cake theme... I've done a couple of card designs too:
