Hey hey peeps!

Hey hey peeps! It's been soooooo long since I last posted anything! I started a new job recently which is why I have been so busy! I'm print designing for lingerie now - my first design is due in-store at Christmas so watch this space as I will only be able to post them as the styles actually go into store!!

Anyway I've been trying to get organised and part of the 'get organised mission' was to clean up and back up all of my old files on my computer. Here's some old babywear designs I came across on the way...

I'm loving vintage and retro inspired teapots at the moment. Here's a couple I brought from charity shops over the weekend. If im not careful i'm gonna end up like one of those little old ladies with teapots all over the place!

Pinterest Love

Theres soooo much I want achieve this year and Pinterest constantly distracting me isn’t helping! I think perhaps I have jumped on the band wagon a little later than some of you guys... I’m still in a bit of a Pinterest cloud I suppose that you might say...

 

 

 

Happy Snowy January...

Snowed in over the weekend me and my boyfriend Jon braved the cold to make a snowman and a snow lady. Fully armed with leftover christmas treats to decorate them, heres the results!

Long time no see!

So, I've been a busy little bee of late and have not had much spare time for boggling... I hope to share some new work with you all soon. Until then here's a Bear with travel theme I worked on a while ago... I will eventually get round to colouring him in!

Heads Shoulders Knees and Toes...

I recently had a game of heads shoulders knees and toes with Amy and Jayne Schofield, the theme was owls and we produced a pretty unique looking little fella! Thanks Amy for putting him together  If you would like to take part in a game the fabulous Ilona Drew has started a blog dedicated to it ... check it out here its great fun!

A little find...

I found these super cool salt and pepper shakers on a recent trip to my local charity store! I think they are so sweet... I'm sure my boyfriend Jon will learn to love them!

Print for baby Darcy...

Recently a friend of mine asked me to design a print for a little girl called Darcy, she is being christened soon! Not sure which one I like best though?

Congratulations to you both!

Recently some friends of ours got engaged and I decided to frame them a little keepsake... the characters in the picture are designed to look like the happy couple! Congratulations Gaz and Hayley!!!

Circus Prints

Having booked the day off I've had a pyjama day and have been working on some circus related prints... I'm thinking of getting them printed and framing them... need to make use of my Etsy account at some point!

Blackberry Picking

Are there better pleasures than foraging for wild treats? Recently me and my nan visited Chasewater Lake to see what we could find... We filled a bucket with blackberries and made jam with the fruits of our labour... I think I might wrap them in pretty paper and give them away as Christmas treats mmmmm... as for the mushrooms we thought it best to leave them alone!
