new news!

Welllll i have been a busy bee these past few weeks. I have filled 2 boxes for my swap partners in the lovely package exchange, which i posted yesterday! I've also produced a few more lino cuts and brought some tasty new wool on monday :) I seem to be getting a little faster at creating crochet toys, and am very proud to have produced 3 new toys in 3 days, my favourite of which being my lovely pink fawn :D



Originally i hated her because, as usual, she wasn't originally going to be a fawn, and i thought that her head was way to weird looking to pull off the fawn look, but now that she is all finished i have to say i do quite like her :) Yes i'm still rather unhappy with her face, but i am about to produce another fawn with the green wool that i brought, which hopefully will come out even nicer!
She is made with my 'raspberry' wool, but as i brought a lime colour to, i did produce to other tester toys to play with the new colours!



I have also, as i mentioned earlier, produced a few more lino cuts :) I have made a lovely 'Thanks' carving, which i have printed onto some greeting cards :) some of them have already been put in the get made shop, but these particular 2 cards will be up for sale in my etsy!


And fiinnaaallllyyyy i have also been busy drying out some GORGEOUS hydrangea flowers. I intend to made a bunch of wreaths this year to sell for christmas, and i have such a love for hydrangeas, that there really wasn't any thought in this decision! My partners lovely nanna has let me go wild taking cuttings from all of her hydrangea bushes, and i think so far i have about a quater of all of the flowers i intend to get, but i don't think i can stop now that I have started!

These beautiful flowers are all over my house at the minute, as this bucket is less than half of all of the flowers i actually have! They are all changing colours and i feel like i could cry at the shear beauty of them :) I really can't wait for them to be dry and ready to create with :) but only a few more days for all of these!

i want them!

for the past few days i've only had one thing on my mind. Nestle flipz! Does anybody remember these little beauties??

They were the tastiest thing in the world, and they're gone! I haven't seen these arounf in nearly 12 years now and i think i would kill for them! I've been trying to find some that are available to the UK but for 2 bags it works out at £7!! And they used to be 40p a bag! I could cry!!! If anyone can find any of these at a good price then let me know!! I need my fix!! Haha x

Things i wish i owned

I have spent my morning browsing etsy (as usual) even though i KNOW i should be getting on with some more uni work! But i did stumble on some little treasures that i would LOVE to own. And i think i will share them with you :)

How pretty is that colour?

clever dress design :D

The prettiest print i've ever seen!

And this one is my absolute favourite. I would buy it right now if i could afford it!!

letterpress and giggles

last night i did a little doodle and decided to share it with you all :) I do actually quite like the kings of leon, and this little picture is inspired by their lovely tune, 'sex on fire'


Also, i recieved a lovely bunch of letter press last week which i had a little experiment with :) Will definately have more to come! But letterpress makes doggy happy!


Other than that I have been feeling fairly poorly for the past few weeks and just have been too run down to do anything! I have another request for an illustrated mug to do, and i also decided that after buying a few pairs of GORGEOUS new shoes, I am going to illustrate all of the shoes I own :) that will take a while!! But these plans are still in progress, and as soon as i feel a little less dead, i WILL do them all!! x

pink!

ok i blame tash for this entirely! For the past few months i am becoming a bigger and bigger fan of pink! So here is a lovely pink new layout for my blog :) hope everyone likes it!!

swapping crazy!

oh my gosh i am close to peeing myself with anticipation today! I have signed up for a fantastic swapping opportunity, with the emphasis of a great package! i LOVE getting things in the mail, it is the source of my obsession with internet shopping! Nothing is as exciting as getting up in the morning, opening the door and being greeted by a beautiful package, usually held by a strange looking guy in a florecent orange uniform...but non the less it is still an amazing thing :) I have been a part of a few swaps before, but this is the first international swap I will have joined. I am so excited to start picking things up for my swap partners, i already have a bunch of stuff planned! And i can't wait to recieve all of my pretties as well :) They have also extended the closing date for entries, so everyone still has time to sign up!

awsome overload!

Today i feel like a school girl with her first crush! Today i opened a magazine and was stared in the face with this!

How beautiful is this bike? it's just under £3000 for the 125cc bike, and I would give anything to own one, but I have no where near enough pennies :( There are only 65 of these bikes in the UK, and i doubt that I will get the chance to own one of these beauties! But lets just look at it for a while shall we :)
