outside . . .

at last . . . . . we are moved . . . . . hurray

the last boxes are unpacked

homes have been found for every little thing

we are slowly but surely settling in

these deliciously sunshiny days have found us

in our new garden space, tucked into the hill

digging & clearing & pruning

much cutting of grass and pulling of weeds

we have uncovered quirky steps and hidden corners

forgotten plants & neglected flowers

fallen down walls & buried treasures

we are as busy as the bees, planning & planting

and filling our wee space with happiness

and . . . looking forward.

thank you for stopping by your words mean so much

have lifted my spirits so, when the going got tough

A Scottish thistle for a bride to be.

What a lovely design job this was, working with a Bride -to-be.

Coming up with a design for her wedding invitations. 

Being Scottish she wanted to incorporate the Scottish thistle

and used the thistle colours in her wedding theme .

I wanted to create an emblem for them

including both the bride & grooms name.

I loved working on this design. The form of the thistle

 was a good one to play around with design wise.

I'm so pleased with the results

 and thankfully so were my clients too!

I did get quite carried away and came up with lots of design options.

It's a design I will most definitely re-visit

to work up into something more.

Here's wishing the Bride & Groom a wonderful wedding day!
