my new studio


The advantage of working from home is that you can make yourself comfy in any room of the house. Today it was on the coffee table in the living room. Just like when I was a student working in front of the TV.

Just me, (husband was upstairs doing very important computer stuff), the phone, my huge list of phone numbers, a cup of peppermint tea and a some of fig rolls. yum.

Very relaxing and a infinitely better than working in my previous employment.

(seaside) village scene 4


As an Aussie, this unspoilt part of the English coastline stirs all the emotion of a day at Bondi (well almost). This shot was taken last week on a three day trip to the Devonshire town of Sidmouth. No rain, cream teas, good friends, beautiful.

new badies!

I have just added another 3 Bad Bears to the shop! This one, Rob the Bear-gler, is my favourite. See also Scrappy, who has been in a fight, and Stan (& deliver), the Highwayman. I'm loving the corny names, courtesy of my husband.

featured on Cuteable!


Well, its a little bit late, but just thought I'd mention that my three little bunnies have been featured on one of my fave blogs Cutable!

Thank you Sion for their 15 minutes of fame.

at last



Finally three little Bad Bears have finally made it onto the Plum Pudding shop! I am really happy with the way they have turned out and am looking forward to seeing what response they receive. There will be 10 all together so more to come in a few days time . . .

On another note, I have finally left the security, and monotony, of full-time work (jump up and down and shout whoo hoo!) and am now working with my lovely husband, at home, on our graphic design business! We are called fusion design and if you are interested in having a look here's our website. Emphasis is on marketing/networking at the moment to get more clients.

It's great to look out the studio window and check out the birds helping themselves to the peanuts in the bird feeder, or go for a little walk around the village at lunch time. I will miss the action and shopping of working in the city, but have really had enough of all that for the time being and I'm sure I will appreciate going into town occassionally with a purpose in mind!

day trippin


On a recent day out in Cambridge, I took this photo of a random carved flagstone in the pavement. Interesting huh? It just shows that those people who walk around staring at their toes see interesting things too.
