Perks of the job! Popping together Christmas card

Perks of the job!

Popping together Christmas card packs for the lovely @bawdonlodgefarm and enjoying a yummy mocha!

The new Barn and Coffee shop is a hive of activity this weekend with their Christmas Market. It’s also proving popular today, there’s stalls, the shop, food and drinks.
It might be a drizzly day out there but there’s a warm welcome here!

As always thank you for your support @bawdonlodgefarm 🥰

Evolution of the Sprout (3 years of Christmas car

Evolution of the Sprout
(3 years of Christmas card designs)

I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter if you love ‘em or hate ‘em a sprout is a firm favourite when it comes to Christmas cards!

My website is up-to-date with all remaining Christmas card stock, I’ve been so pleased with the response to this years designs…thank you for the endless support, it’s tricky to put into words what it means, trust me, it means a lot 🥰

There’s still free postage to be had for all orders on line 😉

So then, next years sprout design…best get my thinking cap on!!

Corners of my creative space 💕

Who else gets so caught up in what they need to do and what they need to achieve that one day they turn around and see the chaos they’ve created!! 😆

Yep, that’s me, and when I say chaos I actually mean a complete sh1t tip!
My creative space hadn’t been use for a few weeks and so had just become mayhem. I’ve put it back in some order this weekend and been able to appreciate the little corners that keep my mind creative. Here’s a few for you.

Happy Sunday y’all ☺️
Calm has been restored.

Floaty Letters

Amongst other bits and bobs, today I’ll be mounting all the floaty letters I have available - with the plan to get them on line very soon!

Feel free to DM me if you would like more info or see one you’d like to reserve, they are a one off, no two the same so get in quick 😉

Hope you’re all having a slow Sunday, I’m giving myself chance to catch my breath today.

Soon, I’ll be releasing my Botanics range, most likely in the new year. However, Poppy design will be making an early appearance in the coming weeks.

It’s after 5, so here’s to the final Christmas design…
…it’s not Christmas without a snowball!

Swipe to see my obligatory yearly snowball and tree photo - decorating the tree wouldn’t be the same without my fave festive drink! And that’s how I roll 😉

From 7pm cards will be available on line along with some trusty popular designs.
You’ll also find some cards packs too!

AND THERES STILL FREE POSTAGE!!
You’re welcome 😉

There’s been some disasters over the years 😆😆

As for decoration…I’ll cover that in my next post 😉

Today’s mission is to photograph all new cards pre release!
First up will be Christmas and if all goes to plan I’ll be releasing them on line in the next few days 👏🏻👏🏻
They will be making their way to stockists in the coming days/weeks too!
(so grateful to my stockists for their continued support 💗)

It feels a long time since this last happened, a lot has happened in that time for me and no doubt for you.

I’m using this stack of freshly printed new work as a new phase, a positive phase, that I can’t wait to share with you.

The aftermath of designing.
Seemed appropriate to share this image…I’ll be making a slow return to social media over the coming weeks, my head felt like this a few months ago, I’m now feeling a little less 🤯

A standard view of my workspace after a creative session!
I took this a few weeks back, after I’d taken my ideas from my head for this years Christmas designs…sorry to mention that word, but it’s gonna happen, just like every year 😁

My designs are being made print ready as I type this, can’t wait to share them with you!

It’s already feeling nice to be back 🥰
Thank you for sticking with me, I never underestimate the power of support.

Words associated with Forget-me-not….connection,

Words associated with Forget-me-not….connection, loyalty, memories, affection, caring and helping.
.
Since last Thursday I have had limited access to WiFi and it has allowed me to see what would happen if I took a social media break…
.
Anyone who has a little business like mine will hopefully get where I’m coming from with this.
You’re worried you might miss something that could prove crucial to expanding your business, you could miss an important post from someone you follow, you could just miss something that you’re glad you didn’t. But how can you miss what you don’t know happened 🤷🏼‍♀️ then there’s the side of writing posts and trying to capture your audience 😳
I’ve contemplated a break before but it’s difficult to actually do it. I appreciate every like, comment, tag that I receive and as thanks I like to give you more of me and my work.
I’m being brave and listening to my head and my heart…I have a very consuming month ahead in work work and I feel not putting myself under the pressure of being ‘social’ will work wonders in the long run.
I’m not going to put a time frame on this as I’m just gonna take it as it comes. I’ll still be busy in the back ground working on new designs and art working my botanicals ready for print.
I know that you’ll still follow me (or at least I hope 😆) and I may even gain some new followers, like I did over the weekend (hello 👋)
.
Before you know it a little bit of lemonybird loveliness will appear on your screen again 🥰

Adding the sparkle ✨

It’s a slow, methodical, relaxing task, it’s what makes the card design.
And there’s always room for a little sparkle, right? 😉

Way back when (April 2020 to be precise, not that

Way back when (April 2020 to be precise, not that long ago!) I started to sketch some of my favourite blooms.
Heading into 2021 I knew I wanted to turn these ideas into designs. I started by picking 6 colours - red, yellow, white, blue, purple and pink - and for each colour I picked 3 flowers/plants.
.
That means I have at least 18 designs to introduce you to! A couple need some finishing touches but I think I’m ready to start sharing these with you. I’m excited and nervous!
.
.
Originals will be available on line soon, and my next tasks is to turn some of the selected designs into cards.
Watch this space....

Good morning!
.
The sun is out, the birds are tweeting, I’ve made my to do list for the day and I’m feeling positive!
.
Feels like it’s been a while..work work ended yesterday with some wins for the week and I even squeezed in an hour of stitching last night, so I’m ahead on my creative day!
.
You’ll now find on my website Teacher cards. They’ll be there all year round for your convenience 😉
A token note to show gratitude could turn an average day into a great day ☺️
.
.
Happy Friday y’all 🥳

After a day of stitching comes the tidying up. As

After a day of stitching comes the tidying up. As I use an ancient machine, there is no reverse stitch for me, I tie off all my loose ends by hand.
A consuming part of the process, but a perfect TV job!
Once all stitches are secure, I’m left with a little pile of threads! Sadly they are usually too short in length to be reused.
.
You can see, green is the main shade in this pile. Starting point has been to stitch all the greenery of my new designs, what comes next will be more colourful 🌈
.
Can’t wait to share these with you 👏🏻
