Christmas Postcards

I've finished off a couple of small collages which threatened to hang around unfinished throughout the coming year, 
and that's me finally done with Christmas stuff!

I had a lovely surprise right before Christmas when a little parcel arrived from my very good blog friend Lynn over at One I Made Earlier Today - 

she had sent me a pack of beautiful postcards depicting different plants used for dying, with information and dye recipes on the back of each one - they are  gorgeous and inspiring, and I think the Cochineal card is my favourite - who could resist those dear little embroidered beetles!

 Thank you so much Lynn!

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and I wish you a very Happy New Year.

Christmas Baubles and WOYWW #342

No time for arty crafty stuff this week,

but baubles are everywhere 
and the decorations make the house feel magical!

I want to send huge hugs and heartfelt thanks to all my arty crafty friends in blogland who leave such kind, thoughtful and inspiring comments, and I would like to wish everyone who celebrates it a very Merry Christmas and a happy, sparkly and creative New Year.

Autumn Postcards

A couple of small autumn postcards needed to be finished off, but that is all that's been done at my desk this week - Christmas festivities are taking over!

Christmas Cards

After a couple of weeks break I'm back and busy making Christmas cards. 

 However much I hate using glitter, I really think the cards needed it - I'll probably be cleaning up the sparkly stuff well into the summer by the look of my studio! 

Please excuse the quality of the photographs - I shall re-do them if we get better weather!
