Keeping warm
January 17, 2014
It’s cold at the moment isn’t it?!
I still haven’t worked out what to do when I grow up! I’m mainly a writer, an artist, and a fairytale dressmaker with various crafty hobbies! Here (and on YouTube) I share bits of my life, thoughts, and what I’m learning along the way. Let’s find magic and inspiration; join me for this creative living adventure!

Super hero costumes
September 9, 2013
Super heroes are bound to be a common sight at Halloween this year. I loved kick-ass and can’t wait to see the sequel. I also thoroughly enjoyed Batman a few years ago, but apart from that, I can’t say I’m a big fan of super hero comics or films.

However, if you’ve been wondering what’s been happening with our renovation, well, not much at all. The only thing we did last year was Rain’s room, which I haven’t been able to take photos of yet because she got it in a mess so quickly. This year though, I’m going to get on with it again and try and get some rooms in this house actually finished. I’ll keep you posted.

Here are a few of my favourites. They are all on Oshun right now, and I’ll finish listing them on my Etsy page this week.
Name plaques

Whenever I’ve done a gift stall at a school fair, commissions for name plaques for a child’s bedroom door is always the most popular. Every kid wants their name on their door!
The Hens are OUT!
