| HAY SUMMER FESTIVAL

And there we have it, the full line up… a full 84 handmade daisies hanging beautifully along that backdrop 😍

The details? Well, each of the 84 daisies are made up of 24 petals, that’s 2,016 petals up there. Each petal was then hand embossed to create texture and add shape and shadow… that’s a total of 7,056 embossed lines… 😮‍💨 I can confirm my finger tips did blister 😂. Then at the center of each Daisy is the flower head, and to make these I needed a total of 21,762cm of paper fringing. That’s a lot right?!

So much time and love and concentration goes into each step to make sure they’re all unique and wonderful, I really did enjoy that cuppa after I finished the last one 😅

| DAISIES

I am so excited to share a little tease with you of my recent installation for Hay’s Summer festival.

Hay Festivals theme for this year was Welsh Summer, Hope and New Beginnings, which tied in the daisies perfectly as they represent new beginnings and innocence 🌺.

Did anyone get attend the virtual event and catch a glimpse of the installation in action?

| HELLO WORLD

I spent the weekend in Brighton and I can’t tell you how wonderful it was to be back out there with my friends and gorgeous family. The cuddles. My gosh the cuddles!

Came home exhausted and will probably need today to recover 😂, but so worth it.

I know a lot of small business owners are pretty wiped and need to adjust the work/life balance as routines change again. Just a little reminder to take it slowly. Give yourself permission to step back from your business, enjoy getting out there and factor in some rest too 🌸🌿.

| SUMMER

I read something yesterday asking how you are going to welcome in summer this year, and what you want your summer to hold.

I’m definitely guilty of being excited for summer and then it comes and goes in a flash and I don’t feel like I quite enjoyed it enough.

So I am going to make some intentions for my summer, a bucket list of things to enjoy and be present. One of them will be eating dinner in the garden a few times a week. What do you want to prioritise this summer?

| FLOWERS

Well, that was a very short lived bit of sunshine 😂 fingers crossed it really does come back soon.

However, it’s always good to remind ourselves that the flowers won’t grow without rain... Except my flowers, it’s best they don’t get wet! 🌷🌧
