Creature comforts

26 Apr

Talk about miserable… This weather is just awful! In pursuit of some cheeriness I give you this – a Katie Daisy print I had framed for a friend this weekend.

'Tell Me...' print by thewheatfield.etsy.com

I admit, it’s borderline self-help in its sentiment, but just on the right side of inspiring to make it suitably marvellous! I think she loved it, which is the main thing. Find more like it here. And if you have a spare few minutes {actually make that hours… days even} etsy.com is an endless supply of magical, creative stuff to make your house beautiful.

I also haven’t had a chance up till now to share these handmade pictures I created from an assortment of paper, felt and buttons for little CV’s room a while ago. They hang above her bed.

I fully own up to my flying creature obsession – owls, birds, butterflies, bees – can’t get enough of them. In our house the latest obsessions are ‘Incy Wincy spiders’, which for some reason provoke much hilarity, and ladybirds. I have found a solution to the latter infatuation – sweet little ladybird pegs, which will eventually go on the pinboard I’m constructing for the ever-growing gallery of crayoned handiwork that I seem to be collecting. Just another project to add to the list!
