Happy Easter!

Hope it's filled with LOTS of chocolatey loveliness....

Spring has sprung!!

Love, love, LOVE this time of year......makes me HAPPY!!

Busy, busy bumble-bee!

Oh dear, oh dear - where have I been you ask?? Well, for those fellow designers out there I'm sure you can imagine - with Surtex looming it's been a busy ol' time!! Here's a summary of my designing month in snapshots to give you a little idea of what I've been up to....

-traditional Christmas.....

 - fun Christmas....

- and a little bit of everyday...all squeeeeeeeezed into the last 30 days or so.

Phew! Fingers crossed for a great show this year!! :)

It's a cat's life!

My baby bear......such a sun worshipper! :D

Spring Flowers

Oooh...you can definitely tell that Spring has officially arrived (hurrah!!); it's been a glorious ol' week so far - the sun is shining, the sky is blue and the flowers and trees are blossoming nicely - we even spotted the first bees and butterflies over the weekend! To mark the occasion, I've been working on some fun Spring floral designs....I haven't used my doodley style for a while now, so I thought it was time to revisit.... 

Bright and cheery

 - When I woke this morning the sun was beaming and the sky was blue - yay - Spring was here again, so I thought I'd share with you a couple of cheery notebooks I picked up recently. The pretty floral design was found in WHSmiths, whilst the bird design was from Wilkinsons (!)

Have a lovely weekend everyone; I hope the sun continues to shine!

Spring's drawing nearer!! (just hope it warms up soon..)

- splashes of colour found in my garden :)

A lovely weekend

I hope you all had a gorgeous weekend....I could fully relax and enjoy as I finished my snowman wrap by 7.30 on Friday evening - hip-hip-hooray! :D

We had a lovely day in Oxford on Saturday, despite the showers...I even managed to track down the lovely shop Aspire Style that I've been admiring from cyber-afar ..picked up a few treats for myself too!!!

Then on Sunday we had a mosey around another antiques fair -  after the success of the last one we went to we were hopeful for little gems again...but sadly, it was not to be this time...sighhh

We spotted the first lambs on our travels though; a true sign that Spring must definitely be making it's way - double YAY!

Spring has sprung!

Well....it's a miracle; the Spring Fair seems to have finally brought spring-type weather along with it - no sign of snow at all thank goodness! AND my garden is beginning to show signs of life again - there are shoots galore coming up :D Spotted the first snowdrops this morning...

...and even a ladybird too! Wow; that's early!! Fingers crossed this means that Winter has well and truly packed it's bags for the year...oh, I do hope so! :D

Spring has sprung!

YAY - the sun has been shining and the first tulips have arrived in our garden! :D We've spotted quite a few ladybirds too...could this be a sign of a great Summer?? Ooh, I do hope so - this time of year makes me sooooo happy! :)

Happy Spring weekend everyone; don't forget - the clocks go forward one hour on Sunday morning...bring on the long Summer evenings!
