Lately.......

Hello friendlies. It's been a while - we've been busy. I've been working. Alot.

It has been constantly cold.

Bertie has a new cheesy smile face.

We spent Easter weekend in Norfolk, which was lovely (that's the view from the grubby steam train window you see there).

Dan has been wearing his nice yellow jumper.

My trays are now in my shop.
I've booked us a holiday to Sweden (the island of Tjorn) and I can't wait!

We're making more life changing (ish - not that exciting!) plans.

Oh, and speaking of life - I'm expecting a baby in case you didn't already know from Instagram/Facebook. Due in September, hooray!

At The Chapel

Hello folks, hope you're all keeping better than I am! Still not so tip-top over here, extremely busy work-wise and feeling guilty for not being able to keep up with the Project 52 portrait series (hmph) On a jollier note........

Here are a few pictures from a very special 24 hours the husband and I spent together a couple of weeks back. For Christmas, my present to Dan was a night away with dinner at a beautiful converted chapel in Bruton, Somerset, called At The Chapel. I really cannot recommend it highly enough. The room was gorgeous; huge bed with lots of puffy pillows - oh so comfortable and enormous windows with views over the village rooftops, the bathroom; so luxurious, the food; delicious! Everything was perfect. They even delivered freshly-baked-in-the-wood-oven croissants to our door in the morning. 

It was the first night we'd spent alone in over three years (however, I still barely slept a wink without my Bertie - him kicking and head buttng me all night must be more welcome than I thought :-/ !). This aside, it still felt very relaxing and it was so nice to be on our own together for a change!

If you get a chance to go there - you must!

A portrait of my children, once a week, every week in 2013.

Hello - unfortunately I have fallen behind, so these pictures will have to be for two weeks as I have barely had time to pick up a camera and even see their precious faces. I am so overworked right now - and sick! But anyway - - 

Bertie - Still sleeps next to me every single night and has never in his three years slept through the night.

Maisie - Would sleep all day if she could (so there’s hope for Bertie!).

Playing along with Jodi’s 52 project.

p.s. Thank you all so much for such an amazing response to my new products!

Coming Soon! At Formland, Denmark Now!

Hello - I wanted to share just a few of my new products in my up and coming home wares range. These will be out in March, but Walnut Street (my lovely agent) are exhibiting these now at Formland ‘UP’ in Herning, Denmark. Go and see if you can - a wonderful response so far, so I hope you like them too! :)

Bertie’s Birthday

Today is Bertie’s Birthday and I was very happy to give him one of my favourite Lucky Boy Sunday characters this morning, Danny Blue! Hooray! I think there’s a bit of double gift-giving when it comes to Lucky Boy Sunday as I am pretty obsessed with everything they do myself!

He has had a great day so far - lots of dinosaur related gifts, plenty of cake, his Gran (my mum) is staying and he’s seen his other grandparents and great gran too! Later on, we’re going out for burgers. Good day :)

I can’t believe he is Three!
