Do we make our own luck or is it a case of the right time, the right place? Whichever it is I’m feeling very lucky! I visited Spangles last week, a local craft shop near me on Exeter Quay. I met the owner at a craft fair and we got chatting; Maxine mentioned she was …
It’s my Etsy shop anniversary today. Can’t believe it’s been 2 years, although admittedly I didn’t do much with it in the first year! To celebrate I’m offering 20% off until Saturday with code ANNIVERSARY with an extra 5% discount for newsletter subscribers http://eepurl.com/V3IsP I now have cards and bookmarks on Etsy, so if glassware …
My cat Lottie was walking on three paws last week. It looked as though she had been bitten or possibly stung by a bee – My ceanothus was in full flower and swarming with bees, although heavy rain and wind has sadly battered the blossom since! She had a small raised bump on her paw …
A caption competition seemed a good idea at the time but with no entries, it obviously wasn’t 😐 No worries, I will write about bits and bobs instead and hopefully something else will interest or inspire you! First up I wanted to share a wonderful way to deter ants from your house. I’d not had …

So I’ve made it to the end of my animal alphabet challenge. It’s been good and I’ve discovered quite a few animals I’d not heard of and I hope you’ve enjoyed it too! The letter Z gave me little choice, a zebu or zebra. I’ve only painted a miniature zebra before so had a go …
I’ve discovered Zazzle, an on-line print on demand service, so my penultimate letter Y challenge is a few days later than planned! Zazzle is great because you’re able to add your designs to a variety of products without having to keep stock yourself and zazzle does all the posting too. Customers can also customise items …
Hope you’ve all had a good week. We’ve been teased with some lovely warm sunny days, only for it to turn cold again! Mind you it was unseasonally warm, so I guess we’re just back to normal March weather. Since having my cat Lottie she rarely goes out, although I can’t blame her with the …
I’m almost at the end of my animal alphabet challenge now, can’t believe there are just 3 letters to go and this is my 100th post, wow! Time has flown by this week so I’ve only managed to paint a candle holder for this weeks W. Instead I’ve been busy painting other tealight holders including rabbits, …
