Mindful(l) ❤️💀🦋
.
We are encouraged to be mindful 🧘🏾‍♀️ ... be present in the moment. The reality is my mind is forever FULL of never ending to-do lists and conflicting diaries! 🤯😆
.
This collage has however been a truly mindful exercise. It’s allowed me to take time to reflect and remember all manner of treasures from my memory box, which contains so many things that have filled my mind over the years.
.
This piece is layered with people, places, books, music and moments that I’ve loved and have me shaped me over the years... many of which still give me butterflies today. 💞
.
Mounted on a tablecloth that has seen so many parties into the wee hours. Expertly framed by the ingenious wizardry of @otterspoolstudio 🌟. There’s nobody else I would have trusted with it.

Colonel Buzzington discovers snow! 🐶❄️

What an end of the week treat to lift the spirits and release some lockdown tension.

Is it just me or has all this snow and rummaging through the winter wardrobe put anyone else in the après spirit... long rosè lunch, aperols, vin chaud, cheeky shots?... 🤷🏾‍♀️
.
Happy Sunday funday everyone ☺️

My middle mini does everything with purpose and pace. The Nike swoosh epitomises her perfectly!
.
So it seemed fitting to create her a swoosh that is almost as cheery as she is ☀️🌈

Family Portrait
❤️👨🏻‍💻👩🏻‍🏫👯‍♀️👦🏻❤️
.
Finally able to share this 50th birthday commission. Their family home, surrounded by a plethora of references to school and uni days, courtship, marriage, children, silly stories and treasured memories.
.
Hilarious story sharing over drinks and FaceTimes, weeks of work and plenty of midnight oil (with the company of a furry friend - see last pic.) for what I hope is a lifetime of enjoyment.

It wasn’t the Christmas we planned but so grateful we could spend it together as a family.
.
Thinking of those who couldn’t and of those who are struggling with loss or loneliness.

Next year will be better. It has to be. Nearly there.

The Show Must Go On 🥳
“Don’t let calamity interrupt proceedings” ~ PT Barnum

Are you feeling the Greatest Showman vibes in this creation? 🎩
.
Tier 4 Restrictions mean everyone’s plans have halted or changed... but that hasn’t dampened this family’s spirit to celebrate a big birthday 🥳
.
Known to my children as Grandpa Rob, he has read them bedtime stories, in voices and accents that rival Roal Dahl’s story telling. He is the font of so much knowledge and has an air of calm and patience about him that is coupled with the most can-do attitude. He is an all-round legend. So, to make his cake on his big birthday is an honour.
.
A cake that reflects him... sophisticated, with a cheeky sparkle and a sense of fun. Happy birthday Robin 🥳.
.
Layers of vanilla sponge cake, sandwiched with Madagascan vanilla buttercream and seedless raspberry jam, swaddled in more buttercream, decorated with black watercolour and gold leaf. The party animal had to be a tiger- he has been dressed for the occasion, in a mixture of polymer clay, fluffy pom-poms and finished with a party blower fashioned from a lollipop stick and a party paper cup.

“Hunkerdown 💞 not Lockdown 🔒”
.
As we headed into tier 4 last weekend, with a sense of dread, disappointment, confinement and continued uncertainty, my mantra remained the but my spirit was flagging...
.
... until I saw my furry boys, who seem to have embodied the mantra. They huddled in the teeniest snuggle sack inside the weeniest crate (each designed for one very small dog!) and were in a state of blissful calm.
.
I can’t change entirely. There will still be to-do lists and a flurry of activity in my studio and my kitchen, if only to feel momentum on some level BUT I will also remember to stop still and hunkerdown with those I am lucky to have in my life... and hope I can achieve something close to that blissful calm.
.
Be kind to yourselves and to each other. We are in it together and this will pass.

Power to the world... spice up your wreath 🎶 🎄🌶
.
This Surrey-Lankan number involved a bit of foraging in the forest and bit of looking in the larder.... chillies, curry leaves, cinnamon, fir, eucalyptus and berries.

Happy Friday 😊
.
When my dog raised his little head from my lap last night, looking like this, it made my whole heart smile 💛. It seems appropriate during this pandemic when we can’t always physically touch and hold those we love, to remember the power of a smile... smile and pass it on. Spike says it best....
.
Smiling is infectious
You catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner
And someone saw my grin.
When he smiled I realised
I’d passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile
Then I realised it’s worth
A single smile, just like mine
Could travel round the earth.
So if you feel a smile begin,
Don’t leave it undetected.
Let’s start an epidemic, quick
And get the world infected!
