Pink, to make the boys wink 😜 A phrase my Nana

Pink, to make the boys wink 😜
A phrase my Nana always use to say!
My Nana, unknown to her, has been such an influence with lemonybird, and I’m certain she would have loved seeing my creations!
So the ARCHIVE PROMOTION, how’s that gonna work? Well it’s simple! Order a card from my website and receive a free card from my archives. That’s it!
An element of pot luck is involved, but that’s part of the fun!
On line you will find a selection of Valentine’s cards, in my usual quirky style.
Because I like to share the love, order a valentines card on line and receive 2 free cards from my ARCHIVES!
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

I know, I know, I’ve been a bit quiet!
Things have been a bit here, there and everywhere in the birdhouse and it made me realise that sometimes you just have to pause, for your physical and mental well-being.
What does this mean? simply I haven’t been able to bring to life all my design ideas, consequently I haven’t felt inspired to post.
Fear not, my website is still live and will be refreshed with an ARCHIVE PROMOTION in the coming weeks.
You can find my most recent card designs at the wonderful @bawdonlodgefarm
I am full of ideas and when the time is right I will be creating lots of new lemonybird goodness but in the meantime I’m gonna be back on the socials reminding you about me!
Bugs and kisses to you from me x x x

Colour to bring inspiration It feels like an age

Colour to bring inspiration
It feels like an age since I last posted.
In Ronan’s words…life is a rollercoaster you just gotta ride it! 🎢
I was able to spend some time in my creative space last weekend and I decided a bit of a sort out and reconfiguration might just help.
I now have my colourful painted papers on display, they might just help get my creative juices flowing again 👩🏻‍🎨

I know, I’ve been a little quiet, I’ve been off on an adventure!
Not long home from a tour of west Scotland and Skye. Weather wasn’t the best, but certainly wasn’t the worst. The squint on this one was due to the wind, no matter which way I turned I seemed to be in a wind tunnel!!
I took complete time out from everything, didn’t have much choice tbh as no WiFi and limited signal forced my hand, but do you know what…it was lovely. So lovely it might take a while to remember what to do 😂
I hope to post some more travel pics on my stories today, but in the meantime 👋

Animal crackers!
It’s been a bit crackers in the bird house this week as I’ve been celebrating my birthday 🥳
I’m going to share more about this later on my stories.
A pack of 6 animal cards in a handy pack - would make a cute gift for animal lovers, or a stash for those emergencies, as all are blank they can be used for any occasion.
Available via my website, with free postage 👏🏻, a present from me to you 😉
Have a great Friday, mines going to be mostly filled with admin 😫

Good morning!
There was something different on the sewing machine yesterday…the bespoke orders went to plan 👊🏼
Working with so many different little fiddly stages to my process, sometimes I can fall at the final hurdle 😩 which is soul destroying, but yesterday was a good day 😃
A couple of little finishing tasks to do today.
But first is a catch up brunch with a mate 😋
I hope you have sunshine ☀️
