Round

 This week the theme is Round - and here are some very round cupcakes, celebrating the arrival of Spring!

April

 April always sees me moving away from the earthy autumn colours that I naturally gravitate towards and love working with, and moving towards bright greens, yellows and pinks.

These piles of felt, velvet and pleated silk are all ready for me to start some Spring inspired embroidery, collages and textile jewellery.

So Green

 This week the challenge is So Green.

When a very dear family friend passed away recently, her daughter gave me a basket of Lily of the Valley from her mum's garden to remember her by - it was always her favourite flower.  I shall be replanting them soon into a peaceful little corner of the garden where I hope they will flourish.

April

 This week the theme is April.

I decorated some eggs for Easter and picked some Blackthorn blossom - it is such a pretty haze of white loveliness at the moment.

A Cup Of ...

 The theme this week is 'a cup of ...'

The snowdops are out and the timing is perfect - I have been waiting

impatiently to photograph snowdrops in this sweet little cup I found in

an online auction!

Green Hellebores

Something Green is this weeks challenge.

I have a thing about green flowers and my beautiful green Hellebores have been flowering all through winter and are still going strong.

Colours of 2015 - Green

Fresh grass green/moss green for the August challenge.  

I love the colours and flavours of these macaroons - pistachio, elderflower and vanilla!

Colors of 2013 - Red and Green

This month for Colors of 2013 the challenge was Christmas colours.  I decided not to go too glitzy with baubles and tinsel, but wanted to try out a more subtle and vintage look.  I found the little patisserie tins over at Lululiz in Vintageland - she has a wonderful Etsy shop, full of delightful French vintage finds.
