Well its over for another year and well to say it was hot is an understatement!

Animal heads 


Apparently Tarquin is going the wrong way down the tree for a tree creeper


Terry the Tawny Owl was on his forever home 


My new dog heads was received well though maybe I need a selection for display. I have a commission for two already so that should keep me busy for a while. Well once I get the right crutches. Yes I have torn my Achilles tendon again but this time in the other leg! I have been given a zimmer frame until they can order me special crutches and I am also in a plaster cast unlike last time. Oh I am a numpty! 

Anyway here's my favourite bits of the flowery bit.

Prep for Tatton is well under way

It's two weeks to go before I set up for RHS Tatton Park Flower Show over in Cheshire. I am working like a demon to get things done alongside finishing the schools work in time for the end of term. 



So today I bought some drawers and old potato crates to hopefully turn into wall shelving watch this space. I turned my stand at one show into the interior of a shed which was in the back of my mind but maybe a bit more shabby chic this time we shall see more pics to come.

I have been playing with some very new wall pieces using up-cycled pallet wood with small porcelain plaques. I have only made a few so I will take them with me to gauge reaction but I actually like them alot and they are quite a nice thing to buy as presents or gifts.
