Mince Pies, Ink, Wrapping Paper and Treacle

I have wrapped pretty, little presents and spent the afternoon making some sweet, felt decorations for the tree. Tomorrow is mince pie making day but i'll opt for a modern recipe, rather than a nostalgic 1940s one! Wartime baking had restrictions due to rationing so substitutions were made. My latest illustrated recipe, a wartime Christmas cake, for They Draw They Cook is featured on The Dig for Victory Show Blog. Merry Christmas to you all!

Births, Baptisms and Beyond....

I love creating artwork for a new baby!

Christmas Carols, Mulled Wine and Mince Pies…in Brighton

It's December, it's colder and it's getting nearer to Christmas! I have ordered my turkey, made the Christmas pudding and I have a new hat with ears on that bounce as I walk. 

Here is the Community Christmas poster that I produced for Exeter Street Hall, Prestonville Community Association and St. Luke's Prestonville. The community-owned hall is a wonderful local asset and I am looking forward to the party!
