My First Blog!

Firstly hello and welcome,
I have decided to start a blog as I find myself wanting to talk about my handmade pieces and influences more and more. My Facebook friends do not want to hear it as they do not have the same passions as I do, Twitter doesn't give you enough space and so here I am talking to myself! I plan to show you my work in progress plus finished pieces and all about my influences. 
I love the white shabby chic/cottage chic look of soft furnishing and white chippy paint on furniture pieces. My favourite fabrics are ivory cottons and cream linens and doilies and vintage lace. The distressed look of wood painted in white, beige and gold leaf, hmm heaven! I look to the Shabby Chic, French Châteaux, Swedish Gust avian and American Shaker styles for influences in my work. I also love industrial pieces and buildings, modern is not a style you will find here. I hope you like what I will show you.
