ys encouraged me to start my own business and to share my passion for feeling good in your home environment. I make handmade bespoke personalised items that are not available on the high street. From a love of card crafting, handwriting, transforming furniture and general creativity this new business venture brings together all my passions. The environment is very important to me. I seek a lot of inspiration for my creations from the beautiful countryside around me, the beaches on my doorstep with all its stunning and natural surroundings. All my items are made from natural products (paper, card, metal, pottery, wood, chalk paint, willow and slate) with sustainability in mind. These beautiful handmade finished products will last for years to come and hopefully create special family memories year after year.

💙💛We’re Heading to the Sandy Bear Big Bash!💛💙

I am so excited to be going to the Sandy Bear Big Bash Event on Saturday 6th June at Haverfordwest Showground! ✨

I will be there throughout the day, personalising and hand lettering a beautiful range of gifts and keepsakes while you shop and enjoy all the fun. 🖊️🤍

Last year was such an incredible day, filled with smiles, community spirit and lots of special moments, so I can’t wait to be part of it all again.

With free entry, a fun run at 11am, plenty of delicious food, entertainment and activities for all ages, it’s the perfect day out for the whole family. 🎉

Most importantly, the event supports Sandy Bear Children’s Bereavement Charity, ( ) whose work provides invaluable support to bereaved children and young people across Pembrokeshire. Their impact reaches so many families and it’s an honour to support such an important cause. 💙

Come and say hello, browse some beautiful Dovetail keepsakes and enjoy a fantastic day together. I can’t wait to see you there! ✨

Here’s a little round up of my workshop from last Thursday 🖋️✨

Thank you to all of you that came. It was such a lovely relaxed, warm summers evening filled with a fabulous group of people. You all did so well learning modern brush calligraphy for the first time. Their creations really do speak for themselves and all of this in just a few hours. ✨

Thank you to Elle for your gorgeous new workspace studio! If you missed this workshop, I will be back at .greenlotusstudios Green Lotus Studios later in July teaching another one. Keep your eyes peeled. 👀

Full video of the workshop dropping in the next few days...

✨ T H A T P A U S E …. ✨

Those little magic moments…

There is something so special about creating something with a new skill you have just learnt. Knowing you have made something magical, completely unique and personal, a keepsake to treasure forever. 💙

On a personal note, I am so lucky that I get to experience those tiny pause moments every single day while creating beautiful pieces for my customers. And somehow, it happens twice… once after I step back to look at what I have created and again when they are handed over. ✨

That feeling never gets old.

Those quiet little pause moments are truly beautiful and so humbling. 🤍

This bauble was created by a member of The Clifford Family at one of my Christmas workshops in December .1

✨ Create Something Beautiful & Personal ✨

There’s still time to join us for our Modern Brush Calligraphy Workshop on Thursday 28th May 🌿

With two relaxed sessions available: 2–4pm or 6–8pm, you can choose the perfect half term slot to suit you.

Together we will explore the art of modern brush lettering as I gently guide you through basic strokes, letters, words, lovely phrases and simple layouts ✨

You will then create your own pressed flower artwork, adding a meaningful word or phrase before framing your finished piece to take home. Make several beautiful keepsakes to treasure or gift to someone special 🤍

This carousel shares little moments from the creative process… gathering flowers, pressing petals, practising lettering and bringing each picture to life 🌸 I hope it inspires you with ideas for your own unique creation.

A warm, welcoming workshop perfect for beginners, filled with creativity, calm and good company ✨

Come and create with Michelle .together and Elle .greenlotusstudios Narberth🤍

Products used: ColorChoice paper/card & Brush Sign Pen

BRUSH LETTERING WORKSHOP REVIEW ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Feeling so grateful for this beautiful review from Caroline Defres 🥰

“Absolutely fantastic experience, and it came exactly at the right time in my life. This handlettering workshop was not only inspiring but also incredibly uplifting.

I even had the opportunity to join with my two boys (8 and 4) since I didn’t have a babysitter, and they absolutely loved it as well. My 8-year-old was so inspired that he wanted to try handlettering himself and ended up creating his own Christmas card (picture below) at home afterward - which says a lot about how engaging the workshop was.

Michelle is incredibly accommodating and creative, and I truly enjoyed her teaching style. She made everyone feel welcome and confident, regardless of experience level. I’m really not the best at art, so l was genuinely astonished by how much I was able to achieve in just two hours. I never thought it would be possible to actually write on a Christmas bauble in such a short amount of time - it really felt like going from zero to handwriting hero!

I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a creative, encouraging, and joyful experience”.

Reviews like this truly mean the world 🤍

My Modern Calligraphy & Brush Lettering Workshops are designed to be creative, relaxed, confidence-boosting and full of lovely moments....and yes, they can be suitable for children too ✨
