Hello wonderful emporium

I'm not sure what happened to the weather. It's really too chilly to be productive.
I hope you all have a wonderful day. I'm hoping to have something to show you soon. Progress is slow.....

Much love to you all.

Hello wonderful emporium

I hope you are all having a most glorious morning. It's officially spring today. I'm so relieved. With warmth and life comes inspiration and creativity. I have no idea what I'm going to be creating this year. All I know is it's going to be such fun. Watch this space.

I'll be back to posting regularly soon. Right now I'm still recovering from a year of absolute chaos. From my son in law losing a leg, to my beautiful daughter getting married. It was one hell of a ride. Quietly praying this year will be quieter. Lol.

I am however feeling the need to make something......I'm not certain what but possibly spring inspired. Much love to you and thank you for sticking by while I refuel and recuperate.

Good evening wonderful emporium

We had some rather high winds last night.... My wheelie bin decided to go on an adventure. I hope everyone is fairing well as the second winter hits. Never take too much faith in false spring. Although the daffodils and snowdrops in the garden are looking mighty fabulous.

Today we bring you all a skull goblet. This one has been finished with silver wax which turns out to be incredibly difficult to photograph. Lined with a stainless steel cup for your favourite beverage, or fancy cuppa. 🤣

Right back to making a mess of my workspace because I've lost some suncrystal hearts that I put in a safe place. Any guesses where that safe place might be? I'm clueless. Oppps.

Have a delightful weekend everyone.

Hello wonderful emporium

More pirate themed creations for your attention. Lol. I think these turned out pretty cool. I hope they raise some much needed pennies for the pirate event.

I hope everyone is doing well. It's been good to get out and see all the darts. Life is returning again and with it comes inspiration and peace. I absolutely hate winter.

I'm currently working on a crazy huge suncatcher. Can't wait to show you all. Currently my chair is covered in shiny beads. Ooops.

Have a most wonderous evening everyone.

Hello wonderful emporium

We love to help out our local community. So we have spent a few days creating items for Rye pirates day.

So first up one of two bowls. This one is made from end grain ash. I love all the beautiful rings. It reads "To err is human, to arrr is pirate.

Check back tomorrow to see the other finished bowl, we have also made a pirate heart hanger and a couple of wood turned drinking vessels. I hope they all do well and raise some pieces of eight for the pirate organisers.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day.

Good evening wonderful emporium

I was asked to make a hanging sign. It's been absolutely forever since I made my last one. I love making signs. Don't know why. Just love cheery quotes. Some make you smile and laugh. Others make you stop and think.

Bonus points if you know which movie this quote is from. It's been slightly adapted. Lol.

If you would like a hanging sign for absolutely anything. They are £10 each. Custom made to your requirements and yes we make rude signs too 😆

Have a lovely evening.

Hello wonderful Emporium

I know I have been missing for a while. Last year was a lot to process and I found this winter overwhelming depressing.

The sun is shining again and I am feeling more of a complete person. So I am sneaking out of my darkness to say hello and bring you this newly created vase.

I was asked to make a vase with a fox. That's all direction I was given and TADA.

I'm still taking custom request orders. No more auctions as it was honestly killing me. So I've quit doing them.

If you would like your own custom made vase they are £35. Each one comes with a glass insert so the wood is protected from moisture for years to come.

I hope the new year has been treating you all well. Much love to you all and thank you for being such wonderful support. It helped me more then you will ever know. Xx

Hello everybody.

I hope you are all having a wonderful new year. I wish the weather would cheer up. Sorry I haven't been here. Doesn't seem like I've been missed.

I'm thinking of shutting this page down. Would anyone be interested in art supplies? Beads, ribbon, wire, charms?

I've missed chatting to you all. Have a wonderful evening.
