Even though it’s snowing outside, inside I feel like spring has sprung.

After too many months away, because of too many sad reasons to go into, things are like spring starting to regrow and bloom again.

Blank cards £5.00 per pack of 4

Some of you have asked me for blank cards.
So ta dah, just back from Foote Print with these cracking prints. The images are so well defined, the detail is so clear I’m really chuffed with them.
They are perfect as stocking fillers or small gifts for that special person who always likes to keep a stash of blank cards just in case.
£5.00 for four mixed designs, including postage.
Please message me or comment below if you would like a pack. X

Who else is enjoying this Autumn sunshine. No need for artificial light in my studio this afternoon as I work on this “leaderfoot Owl”
It’s going to take a while to finish that night sky.

So are we going into another lockdown. Do we need cheering up, with a Hygge activity.
Well I’ve updated two old favourites and put them together in a Christmas craft kit for you and your creative children (if you can bring yourself to share it 😉)
24 little paper houses to colour, cut and fold together for an unique advent calendar.
They are just big enough to fit a battery tea light so can be illuminated too.
Also included is a cute nativity with figures to colour, cut out and model into a scene.
Pack of colouring pencils included.
Only £10 including postage.
Message me if you would like one. X

ACEO’s. These are a thing, they are huge in Japan and starting to take off world wide. I say huge ironically because what they are is tiny pieces of art. Tiny house, running out of wall space, not a problem you can still indulge the art collector in you with a tiny original creation. I’ve just taken Some 10cm x 10 cm tangles to “the Crafters” in Melrose, also available from The Hirsel Gallery and will pop some on the page shop soon. Great for popping in the post for Christmas.

Really happy to be back as a guest artist at

They have a selection of Mini and Midi original tangles and as promised my latest large tangle “Eildon Hare”.

The Crafters is a retail co-operative, set up in 1998 in Melrose, in the Scottish Borders. We are a group of like-minded independent craft workers.
