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.

de-stressed from head to toe

This week has been a fun one. The highlight was a trip to a beauty spa with an equally stressed-out friend. We had such a relaxing day, and I now have a pedicure to look at and remind me of my lovely time.

On a creative note, I have added two more little Badies to the collection, soon to be launched in my shop. I like to think they would make great buddies to a rambunctious little boy (or girl for that matter), who has a bit of a naughty side!



Grrrrrrr!

This little fellow decided that our hedge would make a good place to visit the other day. We have been visited regularly by this duck, and his missus, until recently.
I think they must have found a better place to raise the kids . . .

love nest

Back from a lovely week away, catching up with family in Hereford. The weather was fantastic, food exceptional and accommodation lovely – a perfect little love nest.

Now I am back in the real world, working part-time in one job, and trying to get clients in for our business. It doesn't leave a lot of time for creativity! Never-the-less, I do have a sewing project in progress, heres a sneak preview. . .


The range is to be called Bad Bears. This little chap is a pirate bear, he is just missing his bandanna. The range will comprise (maybe) 10 bears, all different, all with attitude (but quite soft really) & all made from the biggest pair of brown corduroys I've seen in my life!

new softies

They have been a long time coming but are finally here!

Three little pink bunnies ready for the shop.

They are made from a lovely wool/cashmere dress from French Connection. A brave colour to wear, suits these bunnies though!

happy weekend

I have been on a bit of a blogging hiatus. A result of work picking up a notch, I will (hopefully) have more time in a couple of weeks, when I go part time (whoohoo!).

I have had some time to sew, and will upload some cute little pink toys in the shop over the next few days.

I have also started working on a set of 'bad bears'. Softies with attitude. Watch this space.

Here in the UK it's a long weekend, so we are planning some walks, some Thai food tonight with friends, to be followed by some relaxing and maybe even a BBQ if the English weather allows.

Happy weekend everyone!
