As spring is here (almost) I have decided to join the Gardening 365 group on Flickr. We’re not terribly good at gardening in our house as these house plants will testify to…. …there is hope, however, as I seem to have been able to keep an orchid alive! After the flowers have had their time and haev dropped off I’m…

Productive Afternoon

My sam browne fittings have finally arrived so I’ve been able to start making up my stock of leather business card holders… I’m so pleased with the results and just love the jewell bright colours of the plain leathers! Now available to buy in a range of 4 plain leathers and 3 striped printed leathers.

Shropshire Road Trip

LittleBlackDuckApril 14, 2008

We’ve been living in Shropshire for nearly a year now and thought it was about time that we ventured a little further a field from our usual weekend jaunts. We acually made it south of the M54 for a change! We started out in Bridgnorth, a fab place high up on a hill over the Severn. There was a really busy…

Horsin’ around

LittleBlackDuckApril 11, 2008

A sure sign that summer is on it’s way – the young horses are back in the field outside my office window at home. They arrived in the field a few days ago, but yesterday was the first time that they made their way down to ‘our’ end of the field. I’m not much of a horse person – never…

The first one offered for sale is this wonderful fuchsia pink leather bag. Perfect for all your makeup essentials, or…

Mrs Tiggy Winkles

LittleBlackDuckApril 8, 2008

Much to the annoyance of the husband I’m not one to sit through a film without getting up and doing something else at the same time. Now that I am pregnant I am being pestered from all sides to make sure that I rest properly in the evenings…. (I’m not even showing yet – it looks more like I’ve eaten too…

The business of spring

LittleBlackDuckApril 1, 2008

Today was a blustery but really sunny day that made me think that spring was in fact on it’s way…at least let’s hope so! It seemed a fitting day to bring out the brightly coloured leather for a new project – so Spring Green it was! To keep your days bright here’s a business card holder made from bright spring green goatskin…

Diet food

LittleBlackDuckMarch 26, 2008

Anyone fancy free chocolate for a year? How nice would it be to receive parcels of chocolate in the post for the next twelve months! Best news is that it’s all fat and calorie free too! Ok, maybe that last bit isn’t quite true… If you’re feeling lucky then Not On The High Street.com are running a competition and all you’ve…

Munchings and crunchings

LittleBlackDuckMarch 25, 2008

On a recent trip to America I ‘discovered’ granola…how has this food stuff passed me by all this time!?! I ate it nearly every day for breakfast with fruit and yoghurt YUMM So this weekend I decided to try my hand at a little granola making in the Aga. If I don’t say so myself, it’s pretty good. It’s perhaps…

It’s all about who you know

LittleBlackDuckMarch 20, 2008

Earlier this week I attended the WiRE (Women in Rural Enterprise) conference. As I am new to the area I thought it would be a great opportunity to meet some new people and maybe learn a new thing or two… There were some amazing women there with some amazing stories, none more so than Nicky Pattinson who was the afternoon speaker. She’s…
