This is always the time of year to reflect on the year’s happenings and all I can say it has been full to bursting with family, friends, laughter, inspiration, opportunities, journey’s, people, stories, nonsense, sad bits and without doubt a year full of love. My home is my haven from an ever crazy world, to share, to garden, to clutter, to make, to inspire and most importantly to just be! This is a snapshot of my home over the last year through my images, Salvo Toscano's and Bs. To see my gallery of home. patchworkbutterflys home

At last !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At last I am really very happy to be launching Patchworkbutterfly's new website patchworkbutterfly, its been a long time coming and was only possible by two wonderfully amazing people. My sister for her everlasting patience and technical support. I owe the swear box a few pounds I can tell you! The other person Salvo Toscano who made the images in my head a reality through his insight, vision and sheer brilliance. He tells patchworkbutterflys story through the images he captured and made my messy mixed up world look so beautiful. I owe him a huge debt of thanks. I have been a great admirer of his work and was so pleased one Friday when I was sitting for a photography project, and dared to ask him if he would do a shoot for me. He said yes. After lots of gossiping much laughter and 3 shoots later, he created the images for the site that make me really really happy. You can see more of his work salvotoscanophotography
