Woooooww


Wow! Today I stumbled across the most amazing illustrator ever! Abigail Brown creates illustrations by using either her STUNNING fabric creations, or illustrating in the same style that she creates these softies! Right now I am planning my self directed project at uni, and am hoping to create a series of 3D dolls :D

Abigail's work is such an inspiration for this, as her style is exactly my cup of tea :D and I intend to keep a close eye on her work from now on!

santa baby!

Well it's nearly christmas :D and what better excuse for a little window shopping??
I have been trawling the web all year, finding sooo many things that I am totally lusting over, and now I have the perfect excuse to show everybody else!!

These oh so stunning, limited edition dorothy shoes at Harrods! I would give my right arm to own these beauties, but they are only available in London and I can't afford to go there :(!!

A gorgeous Jan Constantine Pillow! There are sooo many to choose from!!

This covers two of my christmas wishes!! I want to collect some more lovely tea cups and saucers, but would also love to own the full Cath Kidston spray flower tableware collection too!

A set of GHD hair stylers!! And a little birdy tells me that these are already in my christmas stocking ;) hehe

This ADORABLE tiny polka dot tea set. Designed for kids in a lovely little wicker hamper. I don't care if I am too old for this!!

Some lovely vintage coloured glass jars and bottles :D I already found 2 amazing bottles in a charity shop a few weeks ago, and I think I have picked up a new habit!

And finally! (for now at least :P) I would LOVE anything from Chet and Dot at etsy! I have been following them for years and still need to pick exactly what I want!! Too hard to choose from such cute pieces :P

I will naturally carry on window shopping over the next few weeks running up to christmas! And so I'm sure I'll add more to my list during that time ;) So stick around!!

Happy potatoes!


I saw this advert on TV today and it made me smile :) a tiny little set of hands that cuddle potatoes!!! and a little fairy kiss of seasoning :D xxx

Pointless scribbling

I was very bored on friday and couldn't help but do some bored doodles of cats. Firstly because I am gradually becoming a cat lay :P and secondly because I do intend to create a range of cat themed toys soon! And because I am feeling thoroughly lazy today, I thought I'd share it with all of you :P Although some of the images are missing due to my silly scanner!

Excitement :)


Today I was given a whole bunch of lovely teacups and saucers :) One set in particular is a range of hand painted victorian cups, saucers, side plates and a sugar bowl. They are stunning but most of the cups have been badly damaged :(
However I'm not one to waste anything pretty :) so i have just treated myself to a bunch of candle making supplies, and intend to make some lovely teacup candles :D Will report back next week once I've made my attempt!

Heeellpppp


I am in need of some advice if anybody can help me out! I have a little love that I have always wanted to try out...making paper goods and stickers! I have seen some beautiful cards and stickers from the likes of Boygirlparty and Mpatrizio etc, and I really want to know how I'd go about getting some of my illustrations printed up on cards and stickers etc. If anyone can help me out I would be so grateful :)

Festival chicks


My current uni project is to design packaging for a bar of soap to be handed out at a festival :) I have made mine out of various fabrics, but this is just the starting point! I still need to add my text and make a 3d model :)
