Bright and breezy wedding cakes

August 5, 2019 KAttwood

I made these vanilla and lemon cupcakes for a dear friend and her new husband for their wedding.

The top tier is a Madiera cake, the flavour her Grandma always liked to bake.

Creativity Online update

July 29, 2019 KAttwood

I’ve given my website a little tidy up – there are now easier links to my textile art, paper craft, cake and marketing activities. https://creativityonline.co.uk/

This new front page image brings all my creative ventures together.

My Etsy shops Paper Roses Shop and Felted Embroidered Art have both been updated with new products.

Do pop by and check it out when you have a moment!

I am studying ferns at the moment. I saw have been thinking about them ever since I saw a display at the Chatsworth flower show. Totally beautiful – robust yet delicate, with amazing colours and strong shapes.

I am felting and embroidering new work in this theme – more news to follow…

Exciting news!

Little lightbulb moments

June 10, 2019 KAttwood

After all the Art Trail work, I am now looking forward. I will be seeking little lightbulb moments to illuminate the creative path ahead.

And having a bit of a rest.

I’ll be back to blogging in July.

What a wonderful weekend!

June 3, 2019June 3, 2019 KAttwood

Tidying up now from the ABC Art Trail. What a wonderful weekend!

THANKS to all the visitors – we reckon more than 350 – amazing given the difficult weather on Sunday.

THANKS for all the interest in my work and supportive comments – it means so much.

THANKS for all the purchases, people were very generous.

The highlights:

How much my husband enjoyed running his VIP lounge
Chatting to the gentleman who remembered visiting the house as a child when his uncle lived here in the 1950s and showing him round
Myriam’s amazing lollies!
An excited lady buying one of my new large works for her new house
Talking about my methodologies and motivations
Watching people enjoying our garden
and – not least – enjoying working with and getting to know the other wonderful artists on the trail. I am so happy to have found many like minded new friends

Garden and Art Shed – ready for 500+ visitors!

May 28, 2019 KAttwood

The garden is looking lovely – it is filled with textures and shades of green. Pretty weeds and a wild lawn have been encouraged and embraced!

We’re all ready for the ABC Art Trail next weekend, looking forward to welcoming many people to enjoy our art, and chill over a goodie from the Nice Lolly Company.
