Summer update! I hope you enjoy flicking through, and I’d also be really interested to hear your comments!

I’d also love to know about your summer of course!

This is also my first post for a while - I haven’t done anything different to how I usually do my carousel posts, so I’m intrigued as to whether I suddenly get an ‘ai content’ marked on it or not! It’s not by the way…!)

A cup of tea, coloured pencils, and… puffins! Could there be a more perfect afternoon?!

I’d love to invite you to my next coloured pencil workshop, all about puffins, held in York on Saturday 15th August.

From initial outline, to layering down colours, blending, and creating realistic details, I’ll guide you through step by step. You can even be a complete beginner (yes, really!), or someone with a little more experience who would like to learn some more techniques.

With plenty of tea, coffee and homemade cake, it’s the perfect afternoon to do something for YOU, and enjoy a little creativity this summer.

I’ve been working on something over the last month, and delighted to share it with you today!

Welcome to my first e-book - available as an instant digital download!

Inspired by my latest mouse drawing, and the success of children’s art workshops last summer, I’ve been making this book to inspire children to slow down, explore the natural world, and discover wonderful wildlife on their doorstep.

It’s packed with creative art activities, nature inspired challenges, and fascinating wildlife facts!

Split into 20 ‘creative missions’ and over 60 pages filled with lots of my drawings and designs, the book is designed for children aged 7-12, with the aim of encouraging a love of creativity and the natural world.

Perfect for the summer holidays, rainy afternoons or family adventures, it’s also a great way to ensure some solid screen- free time over the summer for your small people.

Here are 4 of my favourite garden birds, who all visit our garden regularly throughout the year now!

Blue tit: I love watching their antics around the bird feeders. They are really cheeky and we often have a pair who seem to be playing a game of tag around the garden, which is really funny to watch!

Blackbird: I really love the blackbird’s song, and especially how recognisable each bird is. We’ve had a pair nesting in the garden this year, and it’s been fascinating to watch them collect twigs and greenery.

Robin: my all time favourite garden bird. There are 2 who come frequently to the garden, and throughout the winter, one used to be in the tree waiting for me to put the seed out for him!

Wren: I love hearing a wren, especially how loud they are considering the size of them!

Do you have a favourite garden bird and a reason why? Do share below!
