The Festivals of Love

Life has been so busy these past few months I've fallen way behind with the blog but seem to be keeping on track with everything else!

I've been busy in life. Weddings galore this year.

Only a few weeks ago I went to my friends beautiful coastal, sunflower themed wedding.

I was fortunate enough to supply my third wedding with handmade flowers. This time I made boutonnieres for all the guests in cherry & wine red. How lovely does everyone look?

A few weeks ago Octo: The Moody Octopus, said bye bye to his temporary home at Liverpool Central Library.

Deflating his 42 inch head took an age but I didn't mind looking like an idiot lying on the library floor trying to deflate him. Love how many members of the public came to see if I was ok, thinking i’d had a fall!

Octo had a fabulous time at The Library, apparently he was very much loved by the cruise ship tours. He’ll be back again next month at a new home!

I've taken a big step back on the number of craft fairs I've been doing this year so a number of reasons but I could not resist the chance to work with the folks at Capstans Bazaar again especially for such a big festival in my home town. The Liverpool Loves; The People's Festival!

It was the HOTTEST day on the water front; we had the Liver Building as a backdrop one one side & the River Mersey on the other. Live music, local independent food vendors, pop up bars, Morning Gloryville; it was spectacular!



I'm super thrilled to announce that my next fair is going to be The Winter Arts Market in the beautiful Anglican Cathedral.

Me & the boy had a little jaunt to London for a much needed mini-break. 3 whole days work free...it was heaven but I did look forward to coming home with a head full of new ideas!



I've been on a fabulous photography course with the super talented Katy Munch, don't know if you can tell by my recent product shoots but I feel I learnt a valuable lesson or two!

My full Halloween range will be up by the end of this week; weather permitting! An I'm full steam ahead into the “festive” season - this & the joy of working full time too! I'm actually early for the first time in three years!

If anyone would like a commission on the run up to the end of the year may I suggest sooner rather than later! Last year I closed my books in November...handmade with love takes time!
