Watch the Birdy

We bought my Mum a bird table for Christmas and ever since we have all been watching it intently to see if any new birdies would come to visit.  It has taken them a while to get used to it's presence and on Friday my patience was rewarded with an array of visitors to our garden!  It was a great opportunity to play with my new camera and my fancy telescopic lens too, so I thought I'd share with you a few pictures I captured.

Valentine's Day is approaching fast!

So get yourself 'down' to my Etsy shop to purchase my 'cherry on a cupcake' greetings card, hand crafted for that special yummy muffin in your life!  Here is a sneak peek to tickle your tastebuds!

If you are local to Buxton or if you fancy a day trip to a beautiful historic spa town in the Peak District then get yourself toThe Pavilion Gardens, where you will find these three Valentine's Card designs!  I will be delivering them at the end of this week, hopefully just in time for the weekend!

Fancy New Camera...

I have finally invested in a proper fancy camera, which I am still getting my head round how to use!  I thought it was about time I got one really as I'll be able to take better photographs of my work which will hopefully make them more appealing.  I thought I'd show you some of my new Female Birthday card designs Iwhich are now stocked in No12, in Marple.  Floral fabrics, cute buttons and a lovely sprinkling of glitter too!  Next up is Valentine's Day, so I'm busying away with card designs ready for the 14th February!

Christmas Sale!

'Autumn Leaves'

... has sold!  Very chuffed indeed!  I don't think I've ever posted about my more recent embroidered pieces so here is a sneak peek of what is up at New Mills Original gallery.
 

Happy 2012!

I'll start the year with a few last bits of December, those being two birthday cards I made for friend and family.  My teacher friend Steph made my day one week in December when she told me how much she liked my stag sketch (seen here).  So I made it into a birthday card for her!  And she loved it, yay!

And this is the second I made for another December birthday.  Gorgeous ribbon, lilac diamante, sparkle, mother of pearl button and hand stamped message.
