Brilliant beetles...

Okay, so to start with, I blogged the other day about the contentment my family brings.  I am indeed very happy with my lot...but catch me at around 6pm most week days and I may not look like the picture of contentment...fellow parents may well know what I mean!  Ah little cherubs that they are!

Anyway, now for a little ray of loveliness in the form of some fantastic modern stumpwork.  Many of you reading this may have already heard of this lady as she has sold her pieces world-wide, but I just discovered the work of Claire Moynihan a few days ago when the current issue of Selvedge plopped onto the doormat.  I would love to have one of these pieces to own for my own home...especially the snail...enjoy.
