hello february.

I like the look of you.

january / studio.

January was exciting, then grey, then slightly miserable, then wonderful. 

Thankfully the studio stays constant and lovely.

compass.

I made one odd spoon with a compass design last year which quickly sold from my Etsy store, but a good friend asked me for a full set. Christmas and her birthday passed, but last week I finally finished and delivered them - I love them (as does she), but my goodness were they a labour of love. Only for Emma!

morning.

I took this photo 2 and a half weeks ago. I haven't been out for a walk since, but I know that the snow drops are out and the daffodil buds are growing - Spring is coming, soon, I hope.

ruth.

That pretty lady is my dear friend Ruth. She is a Manx Gaelic singer and is launching her debut solo album this month! I've watched Ruth work her way through the whole creation process over the last 8 months and I am SO proud of her. 

If you're on the island, get yourself a ticket to the launch gig, otherwise head to her website to find her tour dates and pre-order the album! I've been privileged to listen to an advanced copy and it is BEAUTIFUL.
