The majority of my new makes have been custom pieces and there is nothing more satisfying than being pushed, creatively and succeeding; even after multiple froggings!

| New Flamingo! |
My Etsy store is slowly getting to how I want it, still has a long way to go, but the hard work is paying off as more of you are able to see it with the more I can get on it!

| Tropical Bunting |
The accidental theme for this summer has been tropical, last year it was more nautical but being able to use bright colours really appeals to me.

Summer is now coming to an end and as we head towards the winter months (sadly) my brain is overflowing with new ideas, projects and possibilities.

| Coming soon for Autumn |
My makes always reflect the seasons, they are in part, a massive source of inspiration to me.
Most of my halloween range is already up on my Etsy store and I've been working away on some new Christmas ideas. Ive seen a lot of fellow creatives posting about Christmas lately and whilst it does seem to annoy the average person there is a method behind the madness.

| Zombie hand |
For a handmade business, Christmas can be the busiest time of the year. We only have one set of hands and therefore meeting demand can be difficult so we have to start early to spread as much of our creative love as we can without spreading ourselves too thin.

* I say this but there is ALWAYS a point where I end up working till silly o'clock and then get back too it first thing in the morning. However its my passion and I would do it everyday if it was required of me!
When we make we never know who we are making for...as I found out this month when I created a special gift box as a surprise present and it ended up on YouTube! Fabulous vintage lifestyle blogger Laura Salmon said some lovely things about my work and it made me smile for about a week!
I'm taking a short holiday from Thursday 24th August till Monday 4th September but I am leaving my Etsy shop open - just be aware that the dispatch time will be 2 - 3 weeks from now as my next available postage date will be Wednesday 6th September.
