 Happy October, The nights are getting longer and the jumpers are back on. What better way to get through Autumn than with a hearty, warming soup? This little tabby cat seems to agree.

As the children went back to school with their new social distancing rules, one way systems and year group bubbles, I was able to focus on getting my annual calendar completed. I hope that it will offer some comfort that 2021 is on the horizon and with it, the thought of better days coming...  This year the calendar once again features lots of colourful flora and fauna from each season. Most of the illustrations have a very west country feel as this is my home. Home is somewhere we have all got to know much better this year. I am very grateful that my home is in this beautiful part of the world and I wanted to celebrate and share some of it's loveliness with you to spread a bit of joy and uplift spirits...       As with previous years, my 2021 wall calendar will donate £1 from every purchase to Secret World Wildlife Rescue here in Somerset. Each year, the donations have helped pay for the important work they do to rescue, rehabilitate and release local wildlife. Thank you so much if you have bought a calendar from me so far and in the past couple of years - your calendar orders has help save the lives of lots of little creatures that call the Somerset countryside their home. The calendar is now available from both my Etsy and Folksy shops: I hope that you all have a great October Stay safe and take care! & Best wishes

 Happy September! As a new term begins and it's back to school and back to work. Little hedgehog knows it is a term like no other before and is here to support you all the way! If you would like to get this FREE desktop wallpaper, then here's a link to where to join my mailing list: JOIN MY MAILING LIST HERE  August has been another odd month in a strange year. For me, it has been lots of preparing for back to school and adjustment to our collective 'new normal'. We managed to fit in a short little trip away to visit family and be by the sea -all very pleasant given the circumstances. Most of all, there was an enormous sense of gratitude at just being able to visit family again. I kept creating new designs throughout August, whenever I could get a chance . This year it has been more important than ever, because it is my escape and sense of peace and calm in these turbulent times...  I had been longing to add some more British Nature Guides to my collection for a while, so this month I did just that. Introducing my new 'British Cottage Garden Flowers' (inspired by getting out and about this summer and seeing some stunning gardens in the villages on the Quantock Hills). Also, there is a new British Beekeeping Guide - to go with the gift wrap pattern I created recently and to team with the British Bees Guide from last year. Both these prints are now listed over at my Etsy shop...  Another new item to arrive in my Etsy shop is this new, night sky/ hibernation themed woodland gift wrap...  And finally, the last new illustration to make it into my online shops this past month is a re-working of an old wall art print. Back in 2011, not long after I had opened both my Folksy and Etsy shops, I used to sell a little line drawn print of a family of owls featuring the saying: "We will thank our lucky stars that we are sitting here together' It was a popular print back then - mainly due to a HUGE trend for owls. This year, however, that saying seems to resonate with me much more as a gentle reminder that simply being able to be together as a family is the luckiest thing of all and should be treasured and never taken for granted.... 
I hope that you all have a great September Stay safe and take care! & Best wishes  |
