Looking for the perfect wedding gift?…

Court Gardens, Marlow

I’ve been meaning to draw a wedding venue for ages and finally got round to it this afternoon. These will be personalised with a message, like my house pictures, and would make a lovely wedding present.

The house is actually where we had our wedding reception nearly thirteen years ago – Court Gardens House, by the river in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. We don’t have any photos of us outside this impressive Georgian mansion so I thought it would be a good one to practice on!

I’ll put them on my folksy and etsy shops next week, along with my machine embroidered tea-towels if I don’t sell them all at the craft fair in Stokenchurch tomorrow (Longburrow Hall, 1 ’til 4pm)…

Handmade little present…

I decided to make an egg cosy for a little girl’s birthday present this week. Okay so it’s not the latest expensive girly toy but it’s hand-made, personalised and I had fun making it while the boys played with their friends… It’s good practice for next week too, when I’m planning on machine embroidering my pictures onto the pile of tea-towels I have. Not sure they’ll be so easy but just as much fun.

Just a short post today, only one computer in the house and a school project to work on…
