Surfing with Sirens

Well I wish I was!

This is the title of my latest treasury, inspired by Nemetons Caribbean Surf Collar - one amazing piece of work!

Not much more to report today really, only I am off on a fluff finding mission tomorrow! Yorkshire here I come : )

Sharing the Magic!

I had this amazing "appreciation photo" on Etsy from a lovely customer wearing one of my Rainbow Hairclips!

This is my first photo from a customer - and wow it's great!! A totally gorgeous, fellow rainbow fan : )

I have had a few lovely messages from customers, but I was very touched by her 'rainbow story' as it is so similar to mine.

We have both sadly lost our Mum's recently and experience the same magical rainbows at special moments. It feels great that I am not the only one who has this uplifting experience -it's hard to explain to someone who hasn't lost someone special!

And wow.... it makes me feel so happy in my work to know my rainbows actually make a difference. I know I always feel better after a bit of "Rainbow Therapy". It's just great to know, through my art and love of rainbows I can make a little difference to peoples lives ! : )

2nd Christmas

Today we are going to our friends for a belated Christmas dinner : )

We are all very excited and to top it off we have woken up to a covering of snow!! HOORRAAYY While the whole UK seems to have been buried in snow, Middle of Nowhere, Mid Wales seems to have escaped. So today does feel like Christmas, Anthony & Rio are making mince pies for the 'boys' mince pie competition and we are in the midddle of a winter wonderland!

♥ On a more colourful note I made a "Rainbow Treasury" in thanks to my Etsy customers for an amazing week of rainbow magic, more about that tomorrow................................

Hot Pink & Black ♥

Hot Pink & Black have been my thing today!! I made this felted soap called

"Valentines Euphoria" which I think looks so funky.....

So while i was loving pink and black I made this treasury "Get Sexy with ETSY" hehehehe ♥

Totey Tote Tote

So I made my tote, not exactly to plan.. due to lack of planning on the technical side of things...whoops!!

I ended up sewing the design to an 'upcycled' t shirt then cutting it out and glueing it to the bag.

It works though, I will be thoroughly testing this one before I contemplate selling them. It has a special little pocket for my business cards and I love it. I had to leave out the rainbow heart raindrops though : (

Tote Making

I bought a gorgeous blank jute shopping tote a while ago from a fab local shop, and today I finally got round to making a start on the design.

As you can see the plan is to have a big rainbow coming in from the left, a funky white cloud with rainbow heart rain and a secret little pocket in the cloud to put my business cards! I have, as usual jumped straight in with the design and not quite worked out the logistics of the making!! Hoping to work it out tonight : )
