It's arrived!

As an avid reader of Country Living Magazine for I don't know how many years, I am soooo excited to have my work featured on the Emporium pages!  My 'home' print is from an edition of 250 and each is stitched by me making each unique and maintaining some of the texture of the original. 

It's been a busy few weeks updating the website to include a shop section.  You can now buy all my prints, cards and ceramics here.

Cor Blimey!

After a trawl back through my blog to find an image, I realised just how much work has taken over my life recently and how little the garden, chickens, and kids feature these days.  That made me a bit sad.  Then todays eggs arrived!  I couldn't help smile, and then wince when I saw this GINORMOUS egg!  The one on the right is normal sized.  The one on the left is beautiful and still warm.  We're hoping its a double yoker.

ps.  It was!  And very yummy scrambled.

Definitely the chicken first

A fine discovery indeed!  Today one of my lovely ladies laid her first egg, just ten days after arriving, and before she'd even found fame on my blog!  From left to right, allow me to introduce Hetty (quiet and domestic), Esther (forthright and fast) and Iris (Queen of the coop and, I think, the producer of the egg).  Keeping chickens seems to be pretty easy, we're all enjoying their company and looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast!
