Delayed Monday

I was away sick yesterday...seems as if winter has caught up with me.  When i arrived at work this morning,  one day late for Monday, i discovered my brand new hot off the print (stop press!!!) business cards and swingtags. Yay! But that is not all, in my hot little hand as i speak is this Fab print by Gemma Jones

If you would like one for yourself, head over to her Etsy store http://www.etsy.com/listing/35716330/meow-xxx-gocco-print?ref=em

Mondays aren't so bad after all

Busy, busy bee

It's a busy time right now, with one housemate moving out and interviewing for another, which along with 'life' means I haven't had the most productive week.  Years ago i had the most delightful pair of ceramic earrings by Anne Black, but after a rather colourful (drunk) evening out in London Town i lost them.  So imagine my surprise when i stumbled across some more in: http://sedoniaseddon.blogspot.com.
You have been told...so shop up

I Heart Hipstamatic

Recently i downloaded Hipstamatic for my iphone and instantly i am able to take beautiful photos.  It's wonderful.  The hat i am working on right is a Sinamay beret with hand curled French silk roses.  I haven't finished it just yet, as i will also be adding some veiling and feathers... But as i am besotted with hipstamatic here for your viewing pleasure is some work in progress

Mabel's not what she use to be

With my loved sewing machine Mabel, sick and in need of repair I am reduced to searching for inspiration. Back in London all i ever needed to do for this was visit Liberty's - the happiest place (shop) on earth.  Nowadays  I can only Google some of their divine fabrics and dream.  This delightful one is by Swedish designers Svenskt Tenn *swoon*

Yo-yo's are delish

Recently i have become obsessed with Macaroons..those gooey tasty French biscuits.  Yum yum!

Which for some reason has made me think of yo-yo's, not the toy nor the tasteless biscuits, rather the fabric variety.  I shall put some photo's up when i finish a piece.. I'm think headbands and clips

It's not easy being Jan...but at least she has got a cute hat named after her

Here are some photos of my fully reversible Jan hat. It's a labour of love really for the middle child. Photo's of Marcia, Alice and Cindy to follow shorty...
