etsy's "This Handmade Life: UK Edition - Welsh Lovespooning"

I am thrilled to have been featured in a wonderful article by Etsy's AmityUK about the love stories spoken through the art of Welsh love spoons in this week's Etsy blog post  of "This Handmade Life".


If you have never heard about this lovely tradition, make sure you take a visit to read more.

My Love Spoons and Other Stories (No1 ) / Hand Carved Wooden Spoon  is heading out today to continue it's own story ... I can't wait to get started on the next carved wooden spoon  and hear what it might have to say.

about a little bird

March has been such a very nice month ...a few things have resolved .... and how good it is to be moving ever closer to Spring!

 I received word about a week ago that my little folky bird was sitting on the March new stand!
 





Quail with a heart is a happy but shy bird by nature and was the first in my fanciful flock series -a collection of folk art push toys. She is  letter Q in an A to Z directory in this month's issue (March 2010 )  of Pregnancy & Newborn (pnmag.com).  Thank you so much P&N!!
