her invitations









Muddled brushes, humidity and cool concrete. Clingy summer hair.
Teal, olive, mustard and cherry blossom pink.
Tactile delights; cool paint and tickly bristles, squidging.
A trusty baking friend and lead pencil on natural card.
Ever the concentration tongue.
Lines followed and then creativity unleashed.
Colours all a whirl, snips of fabric and woolly tresses.
Bonny lasses swathed in rainbows.
A poppet bubbling with excitement.

Steph x

Joining in with these lovely souls.

    I love seeing your creative endeavours unfold each post - brilliant! And each little 'lady' has a different expression - amazing. Beautiful little artist x

      She most certainly is that lovely Claire. And yes, I did The Nursery with Tim and it was awesome. I am just taking oodles of photos (many are very dodgy!) but each day I'm getting more and more better ones...and in less time. Thanks so much for your lovely comments...they always make me smile. Hope all is bright in your world :) x

    Hi Steph!
    I am right here contemplating all these creative projects you do with your kids. So much great and nurturing ideas! These invitations are certainly much more exciting than the ones we buy at stores. I loved them, and all other you did previously.
    Thanks for visiting me! That was lovely!
    ;)

    I love that you foster the art of creativity Steph. So nice to see children using their imaginations to make and create. You have no idea how many children I see who given a few items don't know what to do with them! But give them an ipad and they're off! What happened to paper, pencils, scissors and a glue pot?!
