I've just come back from a lovely week in a caravan near Rye and I've been inspired by all the different work by local artists and craftspeople I've seen and its spurred me on to get work finished ready for all the craft fairs looming - I'm terrible for leaving things to the last minute. So here is my latest addition to Folksy - www.folksy.com/shops/themosaicgarden.

Springwatch!

Springwatch in my back garden - my cat wasn't too impressed with the visitor!
Excuse the messy garden - one of the long list of jobs to do!

Finally got round to finishing something for myself - a bathroom mirror, made with broken up blue willow crockery, pebbles and sea glass. Need a trip up to Whitley Bay and Lindisfarne to stock up on sea glass they are great beaches for different coloured sea glass and bits of old crockery and then I'll make some smaller versions of this mirror for the craft fairs coming up soon.

Some new ceramic coasters of teacups, cupcakes and the union jack added to my Folksy shop: www.folksy.com/shops/themosaicgarden

It's that time of year when I have to start booking craft fairs for the summer unfortunately some of my favourites have been cancelled this year so if anyone out there has got any recommendations for good craft fairs/markets in East Anglia then please let me know. So far I've got Stamford Craft Market on May 16th which has about 70 good quality stalls along the high street. A busy bank holiday weekend with the North Norfolk Country Fair on Sunday 30th May at Weybourne and one of my favourites on Monday 31st May in Southwold with plenty of entertainment and lovely stalls. A new one for me on July 10/11th at Clare Priory and then Wells carnival on August 3rd on the quayside. And more still to book.

Thought I'd add some American birds to my collection of ceramic coasters for my Etsy online shop: http://www.themosaicgarden.etsy.com/.
Here's an Eastern Bluebird, Northern Cardinal, American Goldfinch and a Ruby-throated Hummingbird.

Here are my latest additions to my Folksy shop: www.folksy.com/shops/themosaicgarden - they are sets of fridge magnets I just did as a bit of fun. They are mini handpainted ceramic tiles and a set of four costs £4 plus p&p.
