* Friday Treat Time! *

Here's a story to warm you on this cold, cold Friday - a little Robin who has found shelter from the snow in a Co-op shop in Aberdeen! He's so content that he sings by the tills and nibbles on crossiants and blueberries laid out for him by the staff. Click on the image below to read the story and watch a little video of his antics:


Happy Friday!

* Meet Little Red *

Apologies for being a bit quiet recently - after my bout of making hair corsages I have been dreaming of finishing some little books I have been working on - Beatrice the Dancing Bee being one of them! In the meantime, I have been doodling some new characters. Here is Little Red, having been inspired by the changing of the seasons and my love for foxes - they get too much bad press in my opinion!






It might be a small book for small ones - not many words, just pictures of Little Red's adventures in the forest and beyond!

* Fun With Hair Corsages *

I wanted to make a pretty thing to wear this New Years Eve, so I dug up some spare fabric I had in my fairy fabric bag, used a pretty lace ribbon and button and got to work!

I cut out a large circle and then a smaller circle of fabric and layered them with the lacey ribbon and held it all together by sewing a white button in the middle.
I then sewed on two strands of lace ribbon to add another layer, and sewed the back of the corsage onto a plain white headband:
I felt SO extra sparkly with my new hair corsage that I made another one the next day (after a lie in!), with circles of different coloured felt, cut into flower shapes!
Kind of getting into the hair corsage thing now, and am planning ones to match my favourite oufits of the week!
