A close up photo of a yellow beaded and wire wrapped piece vaguely resembling a daffodil.

A wider shot of a hand made daffodil like ornament connection to a cuddly toy, however only the back of the toy is visible. There is a green band and a red band on the toy.

I've been making some accessories for someone special for next week.
Can't wait until its all completed...

A green watering can and a red painting brush. Paint is splattered across the top, as the watering can is being used to clean small paint brushes. There is a tiny garden snail on the inner edge of the watering can.

Apparently painting outside comes with totally unexpected companions. Welsh Word of the day: malwoden 🐌 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
