Autumn Leaves...

I am really enjoying working with the leather samples my friend gave me.  Here are my latest creations, ivy leaf charms for phones and bags with the contrast of the silver and amber coloured beadwork.

The background is a beautiful old leather bag my Grandma gave me, lovely warm tone and texture.  

Pumpkin Workshop and the Great British Bake Off!

Here at Pumpkin Workshop we've been a little obsessed with the Great British Bake Off... so of course we're having a go!  Danish pastries was the first bake - and a full day's work that proved to be!  But here are the results... some very tasty chocolate twirls, not to mention the vanilla creme pat and white chocolate swirls and the currant and creme pat swirls... the whole Pumpkin family were rather full that day!

Lovely crisp Autumn days have inspired my latest crafting adventure - leafy leatherwork brooches!  A kind friend gave me two bags of colourful leather swatches and after a bit of experimentation, here is one of my creations!

Just the time of year for a pumpkin illustration!
