A new print now in the shops! (Above) ‘Out of the rain’ is printed on archival, brilliant white, watercolour paper using archival inks. Lovely crisp colours. I wasn’t kidding when I said all I’ve been doodling lately are cats. I’ve also designed a new card (below), which is also in the shops. A nice neutral card – suitable for any occasion. It’s blank inside and comes with a lovely ivory coloured textured envelope.

Today was a perfect day off. It was spent making cards and colouring new illustrations. I’m looking forward to a delicious home cooked meal courtesy of Miss Petite Poisson, a glass of wine and possibly an episode of Fast Forward. The evening is crisp, the sunset a lovely shade of copper. I’m so so so glad Autumn is officially here :)

Some new treasures in the shops (etsy and folksy): Above we have the Urban Forest tote bag! I went and picked them up today, I was really excited and I’m so pleased with the result. I got them done with a local company called I dress myself – I thoroughly recommend them :)  They use environmentally friendly water-based inks and are printed on fairtrade cotton bags – nice and sturdy too. Limited edition of 50!

Below: Christmas is around the corner – it’s a large corner but that doesn’t make it any less real ;) Christmas cards are now available in the shops (etsy and folksy) 3 different designs. All cat themed (sorry). I do have a fox themed one but I’m just not 100% certain about it. We shall see what happens.

Illya is settling in :) Her gammy eye is nearly better. I’m pretty sure I’ll bombard you later on with pictures displaying the cuteness. On the shop front, I have a few more treats up my sleeve (I’m hoping one of them hasn’t got itself lost in the post) I’ll keep you well and truly posted!

Have a lovely evening :)
