I don’t usually post about gifts made for others prior to them receiving it, but as Mandy already knows what’s coming her way and most likely already received it, here it is. Mandy is my cousin. She’d contacted me wanting to order a purse. She wanted a *Blue Cherry Blossom purse, but if it could...

Haruna’s Teddy
This teddy is most likely the MOST travelled teddy alive. I think she deserves a passport of her own. I recently travelled to meet my sisters for our first (and hopefully not last) visit to Japan. Japan by the way, was AMAZING! Queue intro to a future post… well, I will tell you all about ...
Button *Card Purse
A Surprise Gift Don’t you just love pink? There are so many shades of pink, (even in yarn) sometimes its just hard to decide on one single colour. I wanted to make a pink striped purse and use a big ‘ol button – just for something a little different and fun. I was thinking about...
Peach Rose *Card Purse
Summer has decided to exit early it seems. The glorious hot days have slowly dwindled into wet grey skies and sadly, I’m not entirely sure it will recover in time for Autumn to wave it’s hello’s. Running has taken up a lot of my time. No doubt those who follow me on Instagram, Facebook and...
Forever Spring Garden *Card Purse VI
I was sure this was no.5, but thankfully I had written a Forever Spring Garden overview post which means this is no.6! I spent SO much time on this one! I doubt very much I’d be able to part with it… unless I made another that was even more work 😋. My friends encouraged me to...
Evie’s *Bunny
I was so happy to receive a custom order for a *bunny. I haven’t made one in a while and it was the perfect time to try follow the pattern I wrote for myself again. I’m not sure if you have tried writing your own patterns in the hopes that you’ll know exactly what you...
Spring Honey Pot
I’m hooked… I just love going to Iris and Dora for a little afternoon “me time”. Painting pottery is quite therapeutic! This time I had gone with my step-daughter to a ladies evening social painting session. She painted a bowl and I chose this little honey pot. Of course, I love rainbows, this honeypot had to...
Winter Ellie
It hardly ever snows in Guernsey. I think we’re usually protected from the snow ’cause our island is so small and right in the middle of the English Channel. Mind you, we’re also closer to France which is usually warmer than the UK. I just like to think the combination of position and the large...
Matching *Phone and *Card pouch
I’ve completed 3 custom orders this weekend. Very pleased to be able to share with you at least one of them (the other orders are top secret so you’ll have to wait to read about those later on 😊) This order was from my very good friend, Jo. She’s been one of my biggest supporters...
Pottery Painting for Christmas
Not so long ago I was invited to an evening pottery at a local pottery business called Iris and Dora. Iris and Dora host parties for kids (or adults) where you get to choose from over 100 bisque pieces ranging from mugs to egg cups, tea candles to Christmas ornaments and get to decorate with...
