A bit of time out......

Its come to that time of year when I need to recoup, recharge and catch up with my family before the busy end of year antics! College has finished till Sept and much needed sea shore inspiration is required for the next term. I have one more year to go, which is rather scary! Im sure I will be buzzing with ideas and energy when I return..... happy summer peeps!

Blimey, where has the time gone!

Well were in to July and I suppose I better start thinking about winter stock. I think I might leave it until I come back off my holiday though. Iv been to some lovely events over the last few weeks and I'm so glad the weather has stayed nice for them as iv been under my gazebo.

Here's some photos to catch you up on a few of my new items.

University of Leicester.... Botanical Garden Family Day

I have been set a challenge and hopefully I'm fulfilling it! On Sunday 3rd July I'm having a stall at the Botanical Gardens Family Day. Its always a good attended event come rain or shine. I have been visiting it for around 8 years now. Finally this year they have let me have a stall. Normally only botanical related stalls have been aloud. So iv said.... "I can do botanical!" Hence all the flowers and pods etc!

Here's a few more creations....
