This week has been about lots of different things, including my children’s art hangers. 

Evie's latest masterpiece

I make them with all sorts of images, including children.  I was asked recently to make one for a child with ginger hair

mixing the hair colour

I’ve not done ginger hair before so I got busy with some experimental mixing.  Hopefully the colour turned out ok.  I think it looks a bit dark on the computer and was hopefully better in reality

Thomas' latest masterpiece

I was also asked for an elephant!

The art hangers are a lot of fun and they make hanging up children’s latest masterpieces that little bit more special.  They’re also lovely gifts for Grandmas!  Coupled with a painting or drawing your child has made for Grandma, they make a perfect gift from a little one!

Look what my grandson David made

These are items that customers come back for time and again, which surprised me to begin with.  It seems the reason people make repeat purchases on these is that they make such lovely little gifts for their own children’s friends, and we all know they get invited to so many parties! 

So, that’s me for this week – what about you?  If you want to share what you’ve been making, pop a link to your blog below, and link back in your blog post.  Enjoy browsing the blogs – there’s always something fabulous to find!  Please do leave a comment for the blog owner if you like what you see!
