For a couple of years I never had much luck with feeding the birds. I tried peanuts, fat balls and hanging seeders (as shown on the right) but the food always went bad before it all got eaten. My neighbour behind me had better luck with plenty of birds visiting. So eventually I gave up …
Can’t believe a month has gone by since my last post. Time goes far too quickly! I continue to add to my website and a new product is animal colouring in stickers for people to personalise. Children like my animal art but of course glass is not always appropriate! With these animal stickers that’s …
In a nutshell if you’re purchasing an item over £100 use a credit card not via PayPal, for extra protection should things go wrong.

I love spring with nature bursting into life. For my alphabet challenge this week is the letter P. I’ve chosen to do a puffin because a young girl …
My letter J art challenge results ended up having a cat theme, as mentioned in my earlier post. Of course the big cat is a Jaguar. It most closely resembles the leopard physically, although it is usually larger and of sturdier build and its behavioural and habitat characteristics are closer to those of the tiger. The …
I had a good response to my first giveaway, so a big thank you to all those that took part. 97% of voters thought my website was easy to navigate (with 1 ‘no’ and 1 ‘other’ out of 75) so that’s good news! The peacock pendant got the most favourites closely followed by the kingfisher …
