Face masks & Face coverings on Folksy

This week sees a change in the face mask situation, while lots of people have already been wearing masks when out and about there have been lots of others who haven't, but now, from today it has become compulsory to wear a mask or face covering when in shops. Folksy - the Home of British Craft has a number of shops selling a variety of coverings, different styles, different colours and all hand made, here are just a few...

A Shed for Dad, or Grandad, or anyone..

Hellooooooo, long time no see, it's not been a productive 2020 so far for me and not a lot of crafting or painting has been done. But, I'm hoping to change that and kick start my 'mojo'.

The Hubster has been working from home since the Pandemic Lockdown and has taken over my workspace with his computer set-up that he needs to use every day, but hey, that's not a problem, we all have to be flexible during these times and as we are having such good weather in the UK at the moment I've done done some of my work outside in the sunshine.

A couple of my latest pieces are these little garden sheds.....

Dad's Shed has painted birds, flowers and garden tools


Hiding under the window next to the soil heap is a cute little hedgehog.

Grandads Shed (below) has a green painted door, a couple of little dicky birds and another little hedgehog. You can see more pics of these over in my Folksy Shop

 Can you see the hedgehog under the windowledge? 

This is one of my garden visitors, not the best of photographs but I didn't want to disturb him/her too much, I have 3 that visit each night for a drink and a munch on cat food.

With all that's going on in the world I'm trying to keep myself busy and my mind occupied. I hope you are all doing well, Stay safe and take care.
