A trip down to sunny Devon...


I spent the last week in South Devon with my family, our annual pilgrimage, and every year see the trip as a wonderful time to take photos of the beautiful scenery, the sea, quirky boats and lobster pots, as well as a chance to get the watercolours out, and I spent a lovely few hours drawing boats, painting their sails and doing smaller, quicker sketches of boats and yachts using pen. 


It made a lovely change to use pencils, paint and paper, as I spend the majority of my time 'drawing' with my sewing machine, so it was great to be creative using a completely different medium to my usual fabric and thread.


Our holiday breakfast's were made complete with one of our coffee cosies, and we spent time wandering around the pretty coastal towns, walking around the beautiful Devon coastline, and stopping for well-deserved coffee and cake, or treating ourselves to delicious cream teas!

hearts, hearts, hearts... and cake!

Continuing along the theme of hearts I thought it would be apt to post a picture of the monstrously-sized 'salmon-feast' that we made for Mothers Day. The beast was complete with pastry hearts, looked super-delicious, and was! We munched for hours, til we couldn't fit in another morsel. And then moved onto dessert :)
Yesterday I listed my new 'cake' card in my Folksy and Misi shops... perfect for birthday's and all cake-related occasions, each card is hand illustrated, is £2 (or £8 for 5 - technically one free!) I hope you enjoy!
