i hate colds
posted on 4 / 3 / 2010
Today I have developed a stinking cold so I went out and bought some almond macaroons to cheer me up :) I am also watching When Harry Met Sally before work. So it’s not all bad.

The treasures arrived! I saw these beauties by Jordan Grace Owens featured on the Pikaland site and couldn’t resist. I want more… I bought them as gifts but I don’t think I can part with them. How bad am I? Ahem, yes very. I want the paper dolls too…

Finally! Some house related pictures to share. Woke up this morning to a pleasant surprise – although I can imagine it’s going to make getting into town later tricky. Anyway, this is the view from the MOUNTAIN (it’s a hill really) we live on.
Below is the first half of our kitchen/dining room. We’re still in the process of filling up the shelves with our colourful picture books. Through the windows you can catch a glimpse of our snow covered garden. Illya’s enjoying skating around on the tiled floors – as you can probably imagine. I’m trying to decide whether I want to make some table mats or settle for incredibly overpriced habitat ones… Since I’m on a strict budget and my ’studio’ space isn’t accessible I’m leaning more towards homemade. Maybe that’s going to be this weeks project – now where did I bury my sewing machine…
This is a shot of the other half of the room (the bit where the food is made – not by me obviously as I don’t cook) and the door leading to the hallway. I’ll have some more photos of the rest of the house soon. I’m taking it room at a time – no point in showing you a lovely house with my chaos scattered around it :) Also the light’s better at this time in the morning in this room.
Below is just a random picture of rose face I thought I’d share too.
Back soon :)
Tweet tote – Exclusive for ‘i dress myself’
posted on 19 / 2 / 2010
It’s been aaaaages since my last post! I’m so sorry about that. I’ve wanted to share this little sweet treat with you folks for about a week (and a bit) – if you follow me on twitter it’s probably old news by now, but it definitely deserves a post. Appropriately titled ‘Tweet Tote’ this handy shopper is avalable exclusively through the Nottingham based company I Dress Myself. Photo credits go to the lovely folk at I Dress myself. You can buy online (go on, treat yourself) here! It also means there’s a rather quirkly blurb about my work – check it out –> here!
The move’s taken up so much time and brain power and I’ve failed miserably to document any of it. I promise to have some pictures of the new abode shortly. As for business related news I honestly wasn’t expecting to have the online shops closed this long. As soon as the work space is up and running everything will be functioning just like the good old days. Horray! I also have some new projects on the go which I’m looking forward to sharing with you in the not too distant future. I’ll say no more, have a wonderful weekend!

Hello folks. Sorry for my silence over the past few days/weeks. I’ve been putting all of my possessions into boxes – well carrier bags. I’m moving house today which is turning into quite a sad (although exciting) event. I can’t wait to bombard you with pictures when it’s all complete. I’ll be back with news on the shops and new treasures all very soon – wish me luck! 19th September 2004 – 6th February 2010. sigh.
