As you may remember from a previous post, my massive applique work ‘Lace Market’ was accepted for the University Summer Exhibition and was on display for 3 weeks in July.
Even more exciting news – it sold! On the second day!!
Thank you so much to the mystery buyer from Mapperley. You have boosted my confidence enormously.
I hope you enjoy this work, which was made with great care and affection.
Now…on to the next project!
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.

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…
I made these bespoke cakes for the last rehearsal this term of Nottingham Youth Voices and Junior Voices.
Cakes & singing = match made in heaven!

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:
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.
I have several new felt pieces to show at the forthcoming ABC Art Trail, all nature inspired.
I am still drawing inspiration from the powerfully restorative hours I spent at Haddon Hall in Spring 2017.
