Snow snow snow

This week has been all about the snow!  My boyfriend and I did go for a walk when it first snowed and took lots of photos, as I'm sure you all have here in the UK, but have stayed in the warm for the rest of the week.  I've been busy making cute presents for friend's babies and I've also been working on my portfolio and creating designs for the studio I work for.

I now have another blog, which is my Beetroot Press hand-printed home and gifts side of things.  Here's the link to see.  There's a few new photos of the Christmas fair we did, sketches and press items. Have a happy week everyone.

Honeybourne - fun day

Hello there, hope you all enjoyed the bank holiday weekend?  Here's some of my photos from Saturday's village Fun day in Honeybourne, Worcestershire.  The weather was sunny, stormy, sunny, then stormy again, we escaped during the last down pour.  It was a fun afternoon and got to meet more of the villagers which was lovely.  I adored the old-fashioned stalls and penny arcades.  There was a tombola stall, candy floss machine, dog show, old fashioned painted swing boats, ferret racing, pie throwing contest, singer (who was very good), BBQ, bric-a-brac stall and a couple of craft stalls, all to raise money for charity.

Visit - Honeybourne village fun day

Hello everyone,  Sorry I didn't get to post on Friday, it was my 32nd birthday and I decided to have the day off to treat myself.  This is a quick post about our village fun day this weekend, the bank holiday Saturday, 25th August, in Honeybourne village, near Evesham in Worcestershire.  I am going to have a little stall at the event, showing and selling my Beetroot Press eco-friendly homeware products; tea towels, cushions, lavender bags, greeting cards, all made by my own fair hands.  The fun day starts at 1pm and goes on till late.

There will be a multitude of things to come and see; dog show, ferret racing, penny arcades, circus skills workshop, a live band will be playing and much more.  It's all held at our local 400 year old pub, the Thatched tavern which is a very friendly place to visit.  They have a pub garden, where some of the events will take place on Saturday, and a restaurant which sells good hearty food.  All the bar staff and locals are friendly and will offer a warm welcome.   So well worth a visit!

I'll be there from 1pm to 5pm, so if you are near by and fancy dropping by, it would be lovely to see you.
