Hi there. How has your week been? I couldn't let these pictures be saved to my hard drive without being shared. Aren't they lush? After my Canon DSLR decided to freeze up on me in New York, I finally collected it from the shop today, repaired and ready to go! Yay! I have been itching to try… Continue reading Snapshot: New Kitty + New lens + Sunshine = Magic!

Snapshot: Welcome Minty
Something pretty special happened last weekend. Last Sunday, just five days before my birthday, we adopted this beautiful little girl - who we like to call Minty. Isn't she lovely? She is a pure bred Silver and Black Tabby British Shorthair kitten. She is 15.5 weeks old and has brought such fun and happiness into… Continue reading Snapshot: Welcome Minty
Mini Break: A Sock Monkey in Manhattan!
That's right! There's a Sock Monkey loose in NYC and he seems to be making himself quite at home here already! Clive blends in perfectly to this eclectic, colourful, unique landscape, that's like no where else in the world! And it's hot! The public fountains have become local watering holes, parks have become offices and… Continue reading Mini Break: A Sock Monkey in Manhattan!
Studio Life : Taggy Giraffes
Hi there! How are you? How has your week been so far? Mine has been a little full of bright and colourful giraffes - as you can see. Just look at these little cuties! I've had so much fun making these up, mainly for stock (the elephant one had already been sold). I love pulling out… Continue reading Studio Life : Taggy Giraffes
Mini Break : Cricket on Helgoland
Without wanting to sound complacent, when you live in Europe you get a little spoilt for choice, when thinking about a weekend away. Living up here in the north of Germany means London, Paris, Copenhagen, Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Stockholm are little more than an hour away. Extend that to 2.5 hours and we… Continue reading Mini Break : Cricket on Helgoland
Snapshot : Strawberry Season
Hi there Friends 🙂 I am a little late with this post - but as you can see the wait is over! The strawberry huts are now open! Hoorah! They've been open a couple weeks already, which means our fridge and bellies have been overflowing with berry goodness. Firstly - how cute are these huts!… Continue reading Snapshot : Strawberry Season

Colourful as can be, these sweet little friends were so much fun to finish. I took some progress shots,… Continue reading Studio Life : New Sock Monkeys
Snapshot : A Bath of Flowers
Isn't this lovely? I have been meaning to upload photos of this for a while and share it with you - so here you are! I think it's pretty cool to walk home and know that I have neighbours out there that consider planting this old tub with flowers a priority. Every Spring, for as… Continue reading Snapshot : A Bath of Flowers
Instagram : May Round Up
Hello Friends 🙂 How are you? How has your week been? I thought I would post a small little round up of some of my latest posts to Instagram, just in case you missed them. The month of May seems to have been such a colourful one - which is just the way I like it. I… Continue reading Instagram : May Round Up
Taking Stock : May 2015
It's that time again, if you can believe it! Another month down and in just two more sleeps it's officially Summer time here in the Northern Hemisphere. I'm hoping Hamburg's weather will get the memo - June is often a strange mix of cold, but sunny & humid but gloomy days - with heavy downpours… Continue reading Taking Stock : May 2015
