That sun keeps on shinin'...

...and today it's promising to be the hottest day of the year so far here in ol' Blighty - woo-hoo! :D

Back to the drawing board for me though (or rather, tablet)...so much to do in preparation for Surtex...busy, busy, busy!!

Christmas in the sun?!

Oooh, it's been beautiful weather over here in the UK for well over a week now (BIG YAY!), so it seems a little wrong to be working on Christmas designs! But, needs must, and with Surtex fast approaching, it's a necessity....now I know how the folks down under feel! :) Here's a peek at a new snowman design for my latest festive set......

A little bit patriotic on this sunny, sunny Friday...

Have a great one! :)

Ooh - la- la!

Back on the dog theme, here's a little snippet from my Parisian Poodles wrap...I think she's kinda cute, what do you think?

Ooooooh...I laaaaaaarve a bit of cake! ;-)

Here's a little taster (no pun intended - honest!) of some birthday wraps I've been working on recently.....mmmmm...cake! :)

Make a wish as you blow out those candles...

A comical find....

We had a massive clear out of the shed and garden yesterday...mostly because our shed is collapsing (!), but as we were going through stuff, and gradually throwing it all away, we turned around to find our little cat had made herself a home in one of the discarded boxes (she looked like she'd bedded down for the day!). My husband turned round to me and said...it's like the owl and the pussycat...sailing away in their beautiful pea-green boat..... :)

 - It sounds like a boat wouldn't be such a bad idea at the moment; what with all this ash flying around in the cosmos, and many people stranded at airports far and wide. I really hope it all clears away soon so that everyone can return to wherever it is they're going to safely...

Have a good weekend everyone.

100 today...hip-hip-hooray! :)

Here's a toast to my 100th post.....

Told you it was all about the tea party.....

I was rather late in turning over my calendar this month and only realised this morning that it was still on March...look what I found when I did:

...being a lover of cats I couldn't resist this calendar when I saw it at the Chatsworth House garden centre...let me introduce you to Mrs Moggs - isn't she fab?! She LOVES a little tea party! :) There's a whole 12 months of fab poses, published by Maverick.

Have a great weekend everyone...it looks set to be a glorious one here in the UK (hip-hip-hooray!!)

Four legged friends...

Here's a couple of cat and dog designs that co-ordinate with some existing designs shown in an earlier post...I love creating new characters - always fun to do! :)

I wonder if the Mad Hatter would like to join this tea party?!

With the recent release of Alice In Wonderland at our cinemas, the theme of tea parties and teapots seems to be gaining popularity...with that in mind, I've developed a new set of designs for Mother's Day. 

Here's a sneak peek at a couple of card designs I completed today:

Happy Easter!

Yay - Easter is here! Always a favourite with me; there's nothing like a good excuse to eat chocolate! ;D 

Hope you all have a lovely long weekend....
