I’ve really missed the smell of frying bacon wafting across the fields of Gilwell!!

It’s a crisp, autumnal morning here on the first day of AfterFright! is back!!!

The last couple of days I’ve been drilling down on the costs and labour time (a lot longer than I realised) for making my flowers and it’s a real eye opener! At least I’m getting a better picture of ‘actual’ costs for my handmade creations - it would seem that for the past year I’ve actually been covering expenses and being paid pennies for my time! Ooops!

I’m currently in manic flower making mode getting ready for two upcoming Christmas Fairs!

The first is in Saturday 14th November at St Anselm’s Parish Centre, Dartford from 11am to 4pm.

The second is on Saturday 28th November at Stopsley Baptist Church, Stopsley (Luton) from 11am to 3pm.

As well as my Forever Flowers and Plants I’ll also have a selection of handmade Christmas Decorations - we would LOVE to see you!

Had a great morning at The Sisterhood Dartford with these gorgeous ladies! 2 hours of connection, friendship and laughter - I’ve really missed this over the summer break.

If any local business women would like to join is, drop me a message - it’s networking Jim but not as we know it! 😉

Sisters - please feel free to tag yourselves if you were there xx

It appears that I am having problems receiving calls on my phone so UFN if you need to get hold of me, either call on WhatsApp or send me a text and I’ll call you back 😵‍💫

Day 1 of Spark In The Park is just 15 minutes from starting - so now that this year’s Hot Spot set has been revealed, I can show you what was on our car roof!

It’s Spark In The Park Week again at Danson Park, Welling, Kent!

Those of you who have been with me for a while will know that we help with all kinds of mad props for this week of free fun for the kids of Bexley and beyond. Any ideas what this is being transported (very slowly) on the roof of our car yesterday afternoon???

🎓 School or university leaver this summer?

Before those uniforms, blazers and hoodies get packed away, why not turn them into a keepsake you’ll treasure forever?

At Studio@316, I create handmade:
🧸 Memory Softies
🛋️ Memory Cushion Covers
🪡 Patchwork Memory Quilts

Using your child’s school uniform or university clothing, I can create a unique keepsake that celebrates years of learning, friendships and achievements.

These also make thoughtful gifts for parents, grandparents and graduates.

If you’d like more information or to reserve a space, send me a message. I’d love to help preserve those special memories. 💜

Please feel free to share this post with anyone who has a school or university leaver this year.

Here she is - it was such a privilege to turn Le’Anne’s character into an actual doll. I’ll add some more photos in the comments xx

A huge thank you to Studio at 316 for creating this handmade version of Inara. I really appreciate the time, care and craftsmanship that went into making her.

Thank you for bringing your own handmade interpretation of my little character to life.

Inara has gone home! As soon as Le’Anne has shared her on her own page I will post photos, but I’m sooooo pleased with her.

Check out Inara’s page and learn the story behind her - you can also buy the first book (book number two is in progress and Le’Anne has a plan for there to be a whole series of Inara stories).
