I can’t get enough of wild flowers and I find the medium of wet felting and hand embroidery a most descriptive and textural way of depicting them.
This artwork contains some of my favourites, including cornflowers and buttercups.

The miracle of the beautiful quince tree given to me on my 50th birthday by a wonderful friend.
6 years on and 21kg yield this year.
63 jars of quince jelly already in stores, 30 jars of quince & date chutney and 10kg of quince cheese maturing – all going to local greengrocer/deli Hallam’s under the brand ‘Grove Avenue Quince’.
I am hoping to be tottering up the road with hundreds of jars in the years to come as the yield increases!
Very much hope to see you at one of these events in the run up to Christmas…
I will have new work at each event and will veer towards seasonal as time progresses!

I am lucky to have the amazing Jo Beattie as a regular client.
She explores the importance of toys in childhood and uses shadow to depict the important influence in memories.
I have been with her as she has been working towards the Knit and Stitch shows this Autumn and her exhibition is going to be absolutely amazing.

I made this picture from wet felt, overlaid with applique leaves in muted Autumn colours.
I’ll be showing this, along with new work, at our Attenborough Village Hall ABCAT Art Fair on Sunday October 27th.
I’m very pleased to have created new bespoke sofa covers last weekend, allowing two old leather sofas to live on for a few extra years.
At the same time, I did a rather nice treatment to our front windows using window film.
The whole spruce up cost less than £60 for 4 windows and 2 sofas!
I have just created an extensive website shop for Susanne’s beautiful semi precious stone and lava jewellery.
More than 60 gorgeous products available to buy online. Have a look – you’ll love it! www.susannesvjewellery.com
Susanne said of our work together:
Here’s a date for the diary – 19 of the 2019 ABCAT participants all together in a room!
It will be nice for us too, given we don’t see each other on the trail days.
Hope to see you there.
