This little guy has been a huge hit and has meant lots of new orders from keen pet owners, im so happy! Us Brits love our dogs so who wouldn’t want theirs turning into art?

Just because you have a birthday in lockdown shouldn’t mean you can’t celebrate in style. My friend turned 40 last week and was quite frankly, feeling pretty fed up about it all. So what better way to show her some love that to surprise her with an el fresco Afternoon Tea and Prosecco! As she helped me carry all the bags into the local ‘wilderness’ (the grounds of the fabulous Adlington Hall in Cheshire) she had no idea that there were sandwiches, cakes, a cake stand and bottles of bubbly to make her feel better about a big birthday in lockdown.

We enjoyed Earl Grey and filtered coffee before cracking open the bubbles and then it was onto her gift! I had a vision early one morning that I needed to make a Mandrake, I have absolutely no idea why but I felt compelled to do so, luckily my beautiful friend is as nuts as me an she loved him! He’s called Frugal……..

Wow things have really started to take off here at prettyskittycreates and to say I’m thrilled is an understatement. I feel blessed to be able to be doing two things that I love, crafting and running my community centre, the latter is soon to reopen after what seems like the longest time due to Covid.

Ive been working on several commissions and I must say I’m a little bit in love with my recent pooches! They were greatly received by their new owners, big shout it to @slatehousedesigns (go check them out on Instagram, they do some awesome handmade desks and home furniture) so thats a relief……its nerve wracking waiting to hear if a customer likes their order!

Then there were the gaggle of gnomes created for a quirky Mother’s Day gift, proving that a gnome is for life and not just for Christmas! I’m thinking thats a T-shirt slogan right there!
