Original hand painted watercolour cards

Hi, I have been painting this week and have really enjoyed myself. I had the idea of painting some cards in watercolour. The SAA sell cards with mounts so the card when framed also becomes a gift. Great idea. I have painted four cards and am pleased with the results. It 's great to feel that spring is on the way and the spring flowers are blooming. I have painted three Iris cards and a card of snowdrops. More ideas on the way.

Hand embroidered earrings. Nutcracker design.

Hi, It has been a very busy but have had an enjoyable time over Christmas. We have a new puppy who is full of fun and a bit naughty. I didn't finish the earrings until after Christmas which was a shame. They were fun to stitch and I may make another pair before next Christmas. I was bought an online goldwork course from the Royal School of Needlework which I am currently working on. I haven't stitched goldwork before and I am really enjoying the process. At the moment I am applying the padding ready for the gold threads.

Hand embroidered pendant, Snow scene.

Hi I have finished another pendant necklace. This time I decided to stitch a snow scene. I thought a cottage beside a lake with fir trees in the snow would look nice. I used the same fabric as the last project to give that lovely frosty look. Very pleased with the final pendant. My next project will be earrings with a traditional nutcracker design.

Hand embroidered pendant.

Hi, Just completed a hand embroidery Christmas robin and holly design. I have mounted the embroidery in a gold oval frame pendant. The fabric I used for the background gives a lovely frosty feel. I love stitching for Christmas. More designs to come.

Hand embroidered Christmas tree decorations.

Hi, A few weeks ago I made a set of embroidered Christmas tree decorations on blue fabric. When my son saw them he wanted them for his Christmas tree so I have made them again but bigger this time so that I can sell then separately in my Etsy shop. They look lovely and I have enjoyed stitching them again. I think I will now make a couple of pendants and brooches on a robin or Christmas floral theme. More to come soon.
