A Mother’s Day Tribute

The work of a Mother is never done;
Daily she wears her motherly badge;
Placing the needs of those she loves before hers.

Her tenacity is relentless;
Her strength unabated;
When it comes to nurturing, the lives in her care.

Happy Mothering Sunday;
To the communities of Mothers;
Working hard to shape the future;
Through the tender love they give.


-Kemi West -

I leave you with this beautiful mother's day rendition by artist 'Adua'. The words are so inspiring, it would be hard for any mother not to be moved by it. Enjoy!

Happy VALENTINE'S DAY! ...MY VALENTINES!

14/2/2023

Though Valentine lasts a day, these customised mini memory boxes and address books will last a while longer. It just feels right to make something that shows love and appreciation for others that will still be of use to them long after Valentine day's over. Happy Valentine to all my lovely Valentines out there, you know yourselves! May this day be filled with sweet pleasant memories for us all.

Found a simple way to ward off the winter cold with a warming hot drink and thought to share it with you. It's the Star Anise-Ginger Milk Steamer. See below for details of how to make yourself a cuppa:

Ingredients:
-Freshly grated stem ginger
-Almond Milk
-Star Anise infused Honey (Home made)
-Star Anise to garnish

Instructions:
1. Heat milk with freshly grated ginger in a saucepan (till it's hot, but not boiling hot)
2. Strain out the ginger and discard it
3. Add Star Anise infused honey (or honey of your choice)
4. Froth with hand-held whisk or frothing machine
5. Pour in a mug and garnish with Star Anise

That's all there is to it!
Now, sit down, with your mug craddled between your palms and enjoy your winter warmer!

Gentle reminder: As with every hot drink, handle with care!  This recipe works perfectly for me, but do check the ingredients are ideal for you before you try it.

WINTER LIGHTS FESTIVAL CANARY WHARF 2023

30/1/2023

Heard about the winter lights festival from a friend a while ago. Didn't give it much thought, till another friend of mine mentioned she was going to the festival and asked if I wanted to go. That was how I found myself at this year's Canary Wharf Winter Lights Festival and I must say, it was well organised. The map for the art trail was easy to follow and well thought out. There was something for everyone (both children and adults) to enjoy. Hope they keep it going. See below for a few highlights of the festival. Oh...Happy New Year to you all, here's hoping this year is better than the last!

As a Christian, celebrating the birth of Jesus is a privilege I love to share. Hope this video gives you a glimpse of what Christmas really means. This Christmas, I humbly remember the gift God gave us. The unforgettable gift of Jesus and thank God for his priceless gift. Wishing you all, a Merry Cosy Christmas! And saying, "Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift." (2 Corinthians 9:15)

One way to tackle the heat wave...

19/7/2022

From ice creams to milk shakes, it was a case of ‘doing anything to keep cool’ today! Having some home made ice creams and milk shakes, made life bearable in the midst of the heat wave we’ve had in the last couple of days. Especially today where the temperature was up to the 40s apparently!

Travel sketch book

13/7/2022

Being able to capture an idea before you lose it, is very important. Made this travel journal/sketchbook for that very reason. It's for a budding young writer. she loves nothing more than to write illustrated stories and I thought, it would be the ideal way, to encourage her to keep on writing. I'm glad she loves her new journal and is looking forward to make it her own. Also made the journal flat and light to carry, so it can fit into her back pack, as well as easy to use on the go.
