Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

It has been a long time since I have been here.

 Last year was full of fun and adventure.

A year long adventure

Joined We Make London in their Camden shop

Enjoyed being apart of the Kew experience

Scared myself doing a very large event.

Created new little characters - Bob the Dog

Created new little characters - Blue Bird

Embraced the lovely wood

Had my first professional photo shoot with Yeshen

This year feels like a year of love..I'm not sure why but 2014 suggests colours of reds, pinks and warm pastels...lets see! Here is a sneak preview of my plans this year.

I hope that you are all well and have had good festivities over the holiday break.

Thames Festival up and coming

I've been super busy as I have been preparing for this weekend and next at the Thames Festival, with We Make London.

I will be selling this weekend from 11am until 9pm by the beautiful Bernie Spain Gardens, last year it had some amazing music, I can't wait to see what is going on this year!

I have been busy making lots of brooches and even some new designs too.

These are very fiddly to make but I was so happy with the results...I now need I photo shoot for these little guys and girls!

I hope to catch you over at the Thames Festival this weekend...if you do find me please come and introduce yourself, I would love to say hi!

School Fairs

I'm used to having a stall in a market place but as soon as I do a family orientated event I'm a bit lost. I know as a parent, the kids come first and if they are happy we are happy. So with my first school fair, even though I'm in the Designer Makers area, I thought I would try and caterer for the little people.

I have be up late designing and making a few bits that I hope the kids will like and hopefully not just the girls.

Not only have a got lots of design your own heart badges but cars too!

I also have decorate your own garden stakes complete with magic beans! The garden stakes could also double as a book mark, wall decorations or even a magic wand!

I will be at Preston Manor Lower School, this Saturday the 22nd June 11am-2pm

Colours

Just when you thought spring was on the way, it has turned cold again..bbbrrrrrr

Last week we had warm weather of 18c which is light jumper weather, no coats, boots, scarfs etc then Sunday something happened it got so cold it tried to snow! And as I write this it is trying again!

We need spring to come so I have found a few new colours to brighten up the day....

In the mix I have added some other greens and blues to show the different tones.

Here are a couple of my new pieces that I have painted with some of the up and coming trend colours, Emerald Green, Colbolt Blue and an old favourite of mine teal.

Fingers crossed for a warmer week or even better a warmer weekend!

Thames Festival

Hello All

I have been meaning to blog for ages but have been so busy making stock to take to the Thames Festival and listing my products with a new site Something You Fancy that time has run away from me.

Here are some of the pictures from the Thames Festival, it was such a great day and so much fun, we were worried that being near the Rio stage that we would have a headache from 11 hours of music but far from it, I found myself dancing and clapping without even thinking about it. I must have looked a little mad!

This was the stage behind our stalls

This is my stall

The Rio stage in full force

The huge crowd in the area watching the performance

Not everyone was enjoying it!

The night time performance was magical

The sellers working at night

Many thanks to Mary from We Make London for organising the traders. Click HERE for all of the craft people that were there over the weekend.

This coming Sunday I'm back at the Duck Pond Market in Ruislip and because I have sold my original Colourful Cats I will have to find something new to display. Fear not if you liked the original I have prints available in my shop.
