I'm off...

I'm off to Valencia for a few days with work...I'm a bit worried as it is my first work trip away but hopefully it will be fun! Passport packed, hair products packed, hairdryer plus diffuser packed...that's all the important stuff - the trials of curly hair! 

Back at crazy o'clock on saturday morning ....

I know the eiffel tower is not in valencia, but it is the only travel related image I had to hand!

Speaking of animals in glasses....

Skiing horses anyone??!

Just a little design I have been working on...who knew horses could be so agile on the slopes... Must be the go faster stripes.

Further Festive Friends...

Here is another little festive design I am working on.... I can't decide if the robin wearing the jumper or the one reading the card are my favourites...I have a weakness for animals in glasses!!

Makery Mill Making....

Me and two of my good friends Sophie and Becky are starting up a little business called Makery Mill, we are initially selling craft kits and gifts but are hoping to expand into craft classes next year... We are currently frantically making things ready for the Leamington Christmas Market where we have a stall on the 9th December - do pop along if you are in the area!

I have been busying myself with bunting...

and also making "make your own paper chains" kits in lovely bright patterns...

Ta-daaa...

I have finally finished tweaking my Christmas Card design, here is the finished product....

Here's hoping for a white Christmas! :-)

Thinking about Christmas...

So the time has come to start thinking about my Christmas Card design, i have resolved to be organised this year and actually get them done early enough to post out!

Here are a few early sketches...I need to come up with some colours!!

I also think that 2013 will be the year that I stop drawing houses!

Wedding Celebrations....

Congratulations to my sister in law and brother in law-in law (?!) Laura and Lee who got married at Wasing Park in a lovely ceremony, they sun shone and it was a beautiful day... Laura looked stunning as always... I did the place names and menu's, and here is a little extra present I made as a gift from Sam and I....

Even more exciting news!!!!

I am very very excited today because me and Samuel have finally had an offer accepted on a new house! We have been waiting to move for a looong time and the new house is AMAZING. I can't believe it's ours really...fingers crossed all goes well. We have nicknamed it the "Marmite House" because it is a bit qwerky, so you probably love it or hate it. We both love it, despite being strictly PB and J fans (peanut butter and jam for those of you not in the know...)

Exciting News!!

My very good friends Ellen and Timo have just announced they are excepting their first baby!! I am so pleased for them and can't wait to meet the new little baby when it comes along next year :-)

Cue a sweet little card winging its way to them...

A generic version of this is now available from my Etsy shop :-)

New Card Designs on their way to Etsy...

I have designed a new collection of cards and I will be uploading them to my Etsy site shortly... In case you hadn't spotted, I am a bit into hot air balloons at the moment!!

I hope you like them :-) !
