Thank you 🙂 Getting myself organised for Christmas.

Sprout Tea Towels 😀😀😀

These have a long lead time so when they're gone, they're gone. I've given stock to a couple of extra shops as well this year, so order early if you want to bagsy any - thanks!

Stockist spotlight 🔦

Choughs, #Lostwithiel, #Cornwall, host a broad range of local #crafts, alongside their own #upcycled furniture and mineral paint for anyone taking on their own project.

I topped up my shelf today and you'll now find my #ChristmasCards and sprout tea towels in stock.

So many lovely handmade goodies in the #FolksyChristmasCraftDrop today!

Everything on #Folksy is #hand-crafted in the UK and we're encouraging everyone to skip the mass-produced plastic this year and shop from #artists and #makers instead this #Christmas.

An illustration of a giant 'snow sprout' with two smiley sprout characters climbing up to add a bobble hat. It's wearing a teal scarf. The words above read "Folksy Christmas Craft Dorp 16th September 2025"

🥁🥁 A new #SPROUT has landed! 🥁🥁

I know, I know, it's only September 😳 But today marks 100 days until #Christmas & I'm joining the #FolksyChristmasCraftDrop.

Today, makers from across the UK are adding brand new #handmade xmas goodies to their online shops.

I was trying to get some nice sunny photos of my tea towels, if only they would stay still! 😄

A holiday day so I got to join in with #DrawingIsFree. I was getting into the swing of it today. Absolutely couldn't cope with #drawing 2 ppl for one of the poses though 😄 I normally cheat and just draw one of them when that happens but thought I'd take on the challenge.

A photo of the window display featuring 2 ladder shelves, 1 with blue painted glassware and 1 with framed illustrations of quirky animal characters. Across the window reads "Choughs crafty upcycling. Local crafts and painted furniture".

A closer in photo of the window display of illustrations with a tall green cylindrical handmade lampshade behind.

A view from inside the shop - the back of the window display features a basked of illustrated tea towels, a tiered box of greeting cards and other printed illustrations on the ladder shelf.

I've taken over the window at Choughs in Lostwithiel for the month of June, alongside Beach Hut Crafts with her range of handpainted glassware.

I've got framed and unframed prints, greeting cards and tea towels all in stock.

Yay for bank holidays and being able to join #DrawingIsFree. Tonight's weapon of choice: a 3B pencil.

A top down view of flat clay pieces which have been decorated with different textures and coloured with glazes. The shapes include fish, birds and flowers.

Four people gathered around a table with balls of terracotta, starting to make pinch bowls.

A lovely morning at Meet & Make in #Lerryn on Saturday. The idea of this was to be a bit of a skill-share, having a go at each others' #crafts and getting #inspired to try something different, which could then inform our own work. I shared #charcoal / #pastel and had a go at #clay and #terracotta.

I'm getting into the swing of #Spring with bluebells and tulips flowering in the garden and hot cross buns baking in the kitchen. This is one of my most cheery spring #designs so thought it worth sharing at this time of year 🙂

I tried something different at tonight's #DrawingIsFree - painting the lines with brush and watercolour.

Trying to get back into a #sketchbook habit. These are a few weekend train / Pizza Hut sketches. Always a challenge to get something down on paper before people move 😬

I'm chuffed to say that my Invading Hordes #illustration is published in the April edition of The Simple Things. This #magazine is such a great find - it's all about taking time to live well and in this edition you'll find international Easter #recipes, a delve into #mudlarking and more. #Editorial

I'll have to look that up

4B pencil for tonight's #DrawingIsFree. We need to find ourselves some longer songs so we have more time per portrait... Tool anyone? 😄
