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 . . .
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!
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!
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!
How was your Easter?
Mine was action packed. We managed to do all the things we planned, including a gorgeous walk up and down hills and through rape fields.
This week I have done something adventurous and life changing. I have handed in my notice at work, and will finish on the 11th of May.
We have been talking about starting up our own graphic design business for over a year now, so not incredibly spontaneous, but necessary for my sanity!
So. . . exciting times ahead, hopefully the end to the disillusioned designer, and the birth of a new creative one!
Lots of new sets of home made greetings cards are making their debut in the shop this week.
I will be adding sets once a day after Easter. The cards are handmade, and lots of fun to put together, although not specifically for children and babies, there are also some for Weddings, Christenings, New homes etc.
Meanwhile, Easter promises bike rides/chocolate/thai food/wine/camping. . . and hopefully some sewing - yay!
Hope you have a lovely Easter too!
