My creative blog space!


Wow...is it really a year!
where the hecky thump has that gone?

I've been blogging  for one year! Lil Sonny Sky is one year old!...man alive!

And what a creative learning journey! It's been fab, amazing, inspirational and therapeutic,

 from...it's about time ...to...

Entering Umbrella prints trimmings competition,
being part of the fantastic Quilt project, by the wonderful Kootoyoo who hosts 'My creative space'






sewing...


experimenting...



printing...




making friends, and just generally enjoying being part of something that's much bigger than just being on your free-lancy little self.
 An online lovely inspiring community. 
I've said before I don't know if I'm doing it right or if I've found my online voice that's truly me, ( I'm frightened that the true Yorkshire lass might frighten you off!) but I'm enjoying the journey.

Today's been really weird. A really prominent figure in our community passed away last night and today's felt a little numb. Followed by seeing Peter Kaye stand up in Manchester, who was absolutely fantastically funny. Is there a saying laughter follows tears?..or something like that. And, my big girl has gone on a field trip with school for 3 days...not allowed to contact home and it's the first time she's been away from home for this long which feels a little strange too!

Any road up!,
 1 year is something to celebrate so, I'm going to do a lovely 1 year giveaway.
Just pick your favourite screen print from here, and then leave the name of it in the comment box and I'll do a draw in a weeks time!

Thank you to everyone who follows me, comments, reads and indulges me, I'm really grateful!
Thank you!

    CONGRATS! You and your work are amazing, and I love your blog - well done! It was so hard to pick a favourite from your lovely shop, but "dreamer" would be my pick if I was lucky enough to win. Best wishes for the next year! Nic

    Congratulations Lisa on 1 year at this funny bloogy thing. I will always remember the first time i encountered your work on Kirstys Quilt project & what an impact that had. Still one of my favourite squares & great to see all your current works.
    Thanks for the bonus, tricky but Spring breeze for me :)

    Congrats on your first year...your work is really beautiful and I'm so pleased to have found your blog.

    I love the "Who's afraid" print, but they're all very wantable!

    I'll tweet this too!

    Ecky Thump now there is a Yorkshire Lass talking! Takes me back to family Laugh-ins and Black Pudding for breakfast ;-) I love the Cowboy Cat and Mr Blue Bird, but if I had to make a choice then it would have to be Mr Blue Bird to fit in with all my other birdy prints in my home :-)

    I only recently discovered your blog and your work, and I have already purchased Big song and an owl print from your Folksy shop as gifts for other people. I would love to have one of your prints in my own home...Bird hair day is a favourite at the moment. If I don't win, I'll just have to shop...Your work is very inspiring

    What a an amazing year ! Think your Mum has it right. I know family are excluded from the draw, so based on 1 year I would have to say all the stuff you have yet to create and, all the stuff you have yet to do with your family. Looking forward to NYC, more log-fires, great Yules, family laughs, family madness, ....... this great life xxx

    well done on your 1 year of blogging! I've certainly been enjoying it!!

    As for your prints I truly am spoilt for choice....but I've settled on 'home tweet home' as my favourite.

    Ohh, its hard to chose between "right as rain" and "Home tweet home". I also love the Japanese girls.

    Congrats on a year! It really does go quickly.

    I love Who's Afraid the most, I think, although Bird Hair Day comes a close second.
