Happily ever after x
Hello,
Hope you all had a good week! I had a lovely week and had the honour of attending two beautiful weddings last week! one been one of my best friends. She looked very beautiful and had a lovely vintage wedding with lots of teacups, cakes, cake pops which we made together and Pimms!! I was in heaven! I've never seen so many beautiful teacups, cake stands, teapots and cake in one space!
I've got lots of pictures but think i'll make a slide show of them. I've alos got lots of lovely pictures from the other wedding which had a coconut shy!, Hook a duck, Morris Dancers and a rock and roll band!!!

Hello,
Hope you all had a good weekend! I had a lovely weekend I attended Craft Candy fair on Saturday, the last every one! very sad as i love them so much, at the millennium Galleries in Sheffield. It was a great day and I got to see lots of very talented designers and makers! Unfortunately I forgot my camera!!! so no pictures. But I've put a few images of some of my favorite stall holders.
Elodie G I love her illustrations and style and purchased a few postcards for myself and one for my boyfriend who adores the Smiths.

Make Do And Mend
Tuesday, 12 July 2011
Hello!
I hope you all had a good weekend!? I have been busy working on some new drawings over the past few days around the theme of Make do and Mend. I love all the illustrations found in the original leaflets from the Second World War and wanted to create a collection of my own inspired by the original illustrations. I have done a few illustrations of buttons and cotton reels, but I am still working on a ball of wool, and some illustrations similar to the ones found in the original make do and mend leaflets.
So here is a sneaky peek at a few of my illustrations... still not sure what to do with them yet might just make buttons with them... or some earrings.... necklace... the options are endless.
Tea for two... mmm yes please!
Friday, 8 July 2011
Hello,
I would like to call this research for some new items but.....it was also very enjoyable! This is one of mine and my sisters favourite places for afternoon tea,
Mill farm Tea gardens http://millfarmteagardens.co.uk it’s a small farm house in a little village called South Milford. It’s about a 30 minute drive from Leeds city centre, if you don't know the area it is quite hard to find but when you do its worth the effort! If you are going trek out there I would advise to book as it get extremely busy at the weekends.

Me my sister and my boyfriend decided to go for the traditional afternoon tea which comes with a range of sandwiches and a choice of scone, we all went for the amazing chocolate scone with clotted cream and chocolate spread! an over dose on chocolate and to finish it of a piece of yummy carrot cake... and if that doesn't fill you they also give delicious complimentary biscuits before your afternoon tea arrives!
And as this was "research" I took a few pictures
I think our next destination for afternoon tea will be the Black Swan in Helmsley, I’ll be sure to keep you posted.

A Few of my Favourite things .......
Sunday, 3 July 2011
Hello!
So getting a new computer and putting all my old files on my new laptop took a lot longer than I thought, and I still have so much to put on. So that's why again I have neglected my little blog. So I thought on this beautiful afternoon I would do a little blog on 'A few of my Favorite things' (from my house!)
I have been playing around with some images which I took of a few of my objects that have collected over the years for my house and to try and create some clip art from them. So tonight I have spent the night getting use to the new version of photo shop I have and created a little montage.
Well enjoy and will be blogging more regularly from now on, Enjoy the rest of your evening
