There was an article on England-based artist Kate Sutton. She describes herself as an illustrator/maker and finds inspiration in knitting, children's books, vintage fabric, nature, the sea and goats, among other things. She also donates part of the proceeds from several of her projects to breast cancer research. I like her simple line-drawing style and her playful childhood designs.
Pictured below are some examples of her work.

The magazine also featured designer/crafter Alicia Paulson's Home in the article "a colourful outlook". She is one of my favorite crafters, and the photographs of her home are eye-candy; everything is sweet and pretty and showcases her nostalgic style. Her home is absolutely colour-saturated, and also reflects the style and creativity found in her crafts. Her home is like a museum for nostalgic, pretty and feminine things, as they are craftily composed into vignettes throughout every available space.
Pictured below are some photographs of her home from the Romantic Homes magazine.
I am constantly working on new bracelets and here is one of my newest creations. It is named 'hearts and saints'. I made this bracelet with springtime in mind. The soon-to-be season has also inspired my most recent painting. It is watercolour inspired and is pictured below, showing the first touches of branches and blossoms that I have painted.
