Last Friday I visited Handmade in Britain with a friend. I've never been before so it was good to go and have a nose around (and visit Heal's and the Conran Shop afterwards!)

My goodness, it really feels like spring today! 🌞🌷 I have been busy making with the doors to my workshop wide open which is so lovely.
Echinacea drawing by gilhoolie, just having a play in Photoshop this morning 😊 Still dreaming of spring and looking forward to milder weather and of course the unlockdown!!!
Dreaming of summer and strawberries. Well, just sketching some ideas for lampshades but got distracted! At least it sounds as though there's light at the end of this ever so long tunnel 😊 βœπŸ“
I love making lampshades for clients 😊 but have really enjoyed working on some gilhoolie embroidered drums lately. It's so nice to be creative and I know I'm incredibly lucky. This one is on a lovely green @designersguild linen with a hydrangea and a butterfly πŸ¦‹ I saw lots of pretty snowdrops on our walk this morning so I'm thinking the next one will feature lots of spring flowers🌷 Client orders to work on first, including an embroidery lampshade commission...🧡
Another happy gilhoolie customer, this time near one of my favourite places in the UK, Bath. Won't it be amazing when we can visit our favourite places again?! We have kind of planned our next visit in our heads, it's good to daydream... πŸ’­πŸ˜Š
