My name is Anna, and I work as a primary school teacher in greater London. I love eating pizza and watching TV with my husband. I also love painting glass, and any other crafty pursuits that give me a chance to make a mess! I am on a bit of a mission to learn how to cook, bake, sew and generally make things before I have children. I'm trying to learn something new each day. I really value your support, so thank you for following me xx

Handmade Monday and Giveaway

Hello!

I hope you've had a wonderful weekend and are not suffering too much with that sinking sunday evening feeling.

I had a magical day yesterday, wondering around Hampton Court pretending to be a queen. Our little house does feel rather small after all that grandeur (and the garden definitely feels messier!)


And I couldn't fail to be inspired by sights such as this:




Back to the real world now, which in my case is full of butterflies.  I decided to extend the family of purple butterflies to other cocktail glasses, which has kept me busy.





And there we have it, one big happy purple family.



And finally...

Last week a posted my first give away to celebrate 50 glasses being sold. So here are the names  - it felt more appropriate to put them in a glass than a hat...


And the winner is...if you could make the drum roll noise in your heads please...




Congratulations to Wendy :)


Have a lovely week, and don't forget to check out Hand Made Monday

    All the different shaped glasses look lovely grouped together. That stained glass is very grand, I'm not surprised that you were inspired. It looks like you had a great day.

    Congratulations Wendy (sooo jealous!)

    That window is amazing - I haven't been to Hampton Court but I am sure I will get there one day - I used to work in Kingston for years so am kicking myself that I never visited then!
