Two secret projects I was working on last summer were unveiled this Month over in Japan! The second one was unveiled just the other day (Here’s a link) and as soon as I get some package samples through I’ll post some photos. For now here are some of the Valentines day products. Exciting or what!?

Found these beauties the other day and popped them in the shop! Hand made and ready to send. Suitable for small to medium sized hands (there is plenty of stretch in them). Made using superwash wool and super comfortable and warm too…

The snow has finally come to town. It’s brought weather warnings and ground nearly everything to a halt but that just make a it all the more fun, right? Snow is my favourite and to celebrate I made myself a new hat. For those of you who follow me on instagram (@amyjpeg) you’ve all been bombarded with snow pictures in the last 48 hours. I couldn’t resist doing a snow post on here as well. The first few are from yesterdays walk by the Trent with my ma, who’s visiting. The silly ones are from today’s Sneinton silliness.

Just a quick reminder!

This Saturday (24th November, tomorrow!) is the PRETTY DANDY FLEA!

Congregational Church, Castle gate (opposite Weavers, near M & S), NG1 7AS.

From 10:30 – 6:00! Treats for your house, belly and ears! Come along!

I’ve just packed my bag full of prints, cards, paintings, mittens and a handful of festive beauties :)

I’ve been a bit quiet on the ‘Make over Mission’ front. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been trying out new combo’s over the summer and buying very random items for my wardrobe. It just turns out I’m useless and taking pictures of myself without looking like a nutter (I’m working on improving that as I type – I’ve got my next makeover mission in the pipeline). I have on the other hand been documenting my crazy looking clown feet, as I lovingly refer to them these days.

There is a reason behind the quirky footwear, a couple actually. A) I like weird shoes. comfy, big, school shoes for grown-ups = my favourite. B) As the winter weather started to sweep the nation I got fed up of boots quickly… and since I wear leggins A LOT… how else do you hide that strange moment where your leggins end and your socks begin??

I decided to go with wearing chunky socks. Patterned, plain, lumpy, handmade, odd… you name it. Just go with it. On your first outing as you walk along that dreaded thought pops into your head – “oh, crap have I left my slippers on??” (I have stood at the bus stop in my slippers before, and I’m sure I’m not the only one). Sometimes you look at your feet and think “what am I doing?!” but then you’re quickly seduced by the fact it’s fun and they look good (not to mention bloody comfy).

It’s another way to play around with layering colour and texture – neutral coloured chunky socks mixed with colourful or patterned leggins is a good way to start. If you’re not feeling brave enough to give rainbow brite a run for her money then try making your ankles the accent part of your outfit. It’s also a nice way to show off those handmade beauties you thought would never leave the living room.

Enjoy!

A new A3 print just hit the shop! As you may have noticed, one of my more imaginative titles :) I’m sat watching the fog roll in so it seemed like the perfect time to share this doodle with ya’ll. I’m off to do some painting :)
