This is a sneaky peak at what I'm working on at the moment. It's a little project involving all of my loves, jewellery, embroidery, collage and now movie making. Things are still in the early stages but I'll keep you posted on how things come along.

I have had a lovey week, spending time with family and friends, planting and nurturing little seedlings in my garden and eating wonderful fresh food in the garden. I have been working on some new jewellery for my Etsy shop as well.

Maybe it is the sunshine or the smell of summer in the air, but I am being drawn to simple designs, shapes and colour combinations. I think of Indian summers looking at this necklace, the rich heat of the red semi precious Carnelian.

I have hit a wall with my bed time reading lately, do you have any recomendations? I like a bit of everything, so let me know what is gripping you at the moment. Have a lovely week x

:: my life ::

I am still working through the new photos for the shop, having taken hundreds and hundreds I realised that I had chnged a setting on the camera and they are all in too low a quality to show everything to its full glossy and loveliness. So today I took them all again!

I began thinking about what to make for my Mum for Mother's Day and was thinking of a sewn bird mobile, but then last night I started sorting out all my collage materials and had a brain wave. My Mum is a busy and hard working woman, who until very recently didn't have time or the inclination for all things crafty. Just before Christmas we spent time together making clay ornaments, herb bouquets and mulled wine sachets and she seemed to really enjoy it. So I have decided to make her up a 'creative inspiration kit'. I'm still putting the pieces together but when they are ready I'll let you see.

Are you creating any handmade gifts this week?
