Currently Reading: The Dark
Hooray! This book is finally out on the shelves and I was able to pick up a copy
at a local Waterstones. It is excellent, and the illustrations are just beautiful.
Jon Klassen is definitely one of my favourite illustrators.
Red Cap Cards & John Klassen
Jon Klassen is a genius, I just adore his work.
These are some of the great designs he has
with Red Cap Cards.
Rifle Paper Co.
Rifle Paper Co. continually create such beautiful stationary
and card ranges.
These are on my never ending stationary wishlist.
Tea Parties
If there is one thing we love in my house its tea, tea parties, afternoon teas,
birthday teas and any kind of festive excuse to decorate the house.
Here are some photos of our teas over the last twelve months.

Embroidery: The Groke
Here is a close up of my most recent embroidery. I am working through various illustrations from Tove Jansson’s ‘Finn Family Moomintroll’ series.
Upholstery
I decided to try my hand at re upholstering an old Parker Knoll arm chair I bought at a charity shop. It has taken a few months in between work loads and other projects but here it is. Having never done upholstery before, I am very pleased with the finish chair.
Tuesday
I came across some fantastic items in the M&S
yesterday afternoon. The M&S biscuit tins have
been so fantastic over the last few years - I have
posted about many of them! This Corgi one was
designed by Monster Riot to celebrate the
Queens coronation and I think it’s excellent.
The Easter cups are really sweet too!
I also discovered a shop filled with those iwako
erasers.
Lastly is a photo of my purchases, more for the
ever growing card collection. With designs by
M&S, Helen Dardik, Quentin Blake, Kelly Hyatt
and Ally Gore.

Recent Drawing
Today I drew this rather large barn owl. It feels good to be drawing again after so long.
WildWood
Wildwood by Colin Meloy & Carson Ellis is the first in a series of brilliant books for children. Carson’s beautiful illustrations, colour palette and the line drawn map on the inside really bring the story to life. I can hardly wait to get back to reading the sequel ‘Under Wildwood’
Here is a trailer for Wildwood:
