What, £10!!

We went to a horse sanctury the other day; all very nice.  Then I spotted it,  'The Charity Shop'..... off I cantered!!  This is what I got FOR £10....

 

See that stripey T-shirt, that is organic cotton that is!!

 

Everything fitted very nicely in this 1960's type bowling bag, FOR £1...

Posy Headband...

My little girl went to a birthday party today and wanted me to make her a hair adornment!!  She has super fine hair, so a little tricky.  This headband seemed to do the trick; until she went on the bouncy castle that is!

Short & Curly!

I have had a manic week; in a good way (apart from being ill - AGAIN!)  Have got confirmation that my Fox Collars will be appearing in a book in connection with Mollie Makes mag.  Due out February 2014.  Also, we are having the house photographed for a magazine, which will be great, free publicity for me!  On top of general worky stuff I am desparately trying to get some stock ready for the Brighton Festival Open house I am in, in May. ( I generally like to leave it until the last moment they go crazy and work all hours!! )  Thought I could capture the frantic-ness (is that a word??) of my work room along with my new (again), darker, curly hair!!  Very surprised at how calm I look, and have not caught much of the work room chaos either!!  Not a frantic looking picture at all in the end...

Doodle-Bug!

I have been doing a bit of 'doodling' at the moment.  Quite a nice thing to do, just having a play!  It was the children's air-drying clay that set me off.  One grey afternoon I thought, 'Hey let's have a creative play/Martha Stewart moment...'  Out came all the collected lids and cutters and general plastic tat saved for such an occassion.  It lasted a whole 7 minutes before meltdown.  Why is it they always prefer TV and a packet of pickled onion Monster Munch!!  Anyway, not to be put off, now I had cut out a number of clay rounds from a milk bottle top...

Button Card Dolls...

I will be taking part in a really lovely open house in May, as part of the Brighton Festival.  (More details nearer the time.)  I thought it might be nice to do some smaller/lower priced items that people can buy and that have my details on, for potential further, maybe larger, sales.  Most people use cards for this purpose, but as I have a mountain of colourful buttons I thought I would make some button cards. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers!

Went out to a lovely friends Birthday drinks last night.  As I have n't been out much I made her a little present.  I have had these blank match boxed for ages. I added a little face, and covered and decorated the outside of the box.  (Similar to an idea I first saw by the talented www.kimwelling.com)  The lavender bag is part printed, then hand drawn.  It's the thought that counts, apparently...

I Heart Ponystep Magazine!

I really love this super-cool fashion/style mag.  I particularly love these pictures of more 'mature' models wearing designer in the SS/12 issue.  Brilliant, something to inspire to...  www.ponystep.com Issue 4 out now.
