Rainy Days

I have always loved and wanted a little pet cloud. My clouds have been really popular recently, selling at the craft fair and soon to be sold at an independent boutique. However, several years back I made my first cloud, I created it for a dear friend who shared my love for rain. I also made a special critter named MyK. Both plushies are about three years old now so a little grey from being loved....x

My Giraffe is one in a million

I created Phillipe the French Giraffe a while back, although he is still one of my favourite illustrations. Amongst my surfing on the interweb I came across this site http://www.onemilliongiraffes.com/
It is a giraffe collection site, a bank full of hand made giraffes, and a bet to collect one million giraffes by 2011. Phillipe helped it along by one but 285 327 more are needed with 268 days left to go... load up your own and be part of the rather unusual giraffe club!!
You can see Phillipe here:

Catch of the day...

Whilst making bits and bobs I found myself making goldfish out of some orange pvc stuff I had about. I also had some net type fabric which I made into a drawstring bag for my fishies to live in. I had the same fabric in blues so decided to make a dolphin, seal and whale too....
Bit of a pointless creation but it was fun!!

Happy Shopper

Type fanatic the "Lozzbery" purchased some PixiBones goodies at the fair. Once in their new home, along with his other purchases, they were captured and put on his blog :)
Really appreciate his support...check out his blog of interests, snazzy photography and some tasty type.

Lozz and I are soon to collaborate on a piece combining our type and craft skills...Think this is going to be a fun one....watch this space!

I make fun stuff 2nd fair

In between doing the Lazy Oaf internship I was trying to prepare new stock for my first ever craft fair. Put on by "I make fun stuff" at Ipswich Town hall Saturday 27th March.
I was extremely nervous as I didn't know what to expect or how people would react to my creations. As it happened, it sent down really well, and got some great feedback especially on my Toadstool dinner set.
New items will be added to my online shop very shortly...

Lazy Oaf Internship

I have been in London over the past three weeks working at Lazy Oaf's studio. It was an amazing experience working behind the scenes seeing the talented Gemma creating new illustrations for up and coming collaborations and new stationary and collections.

For those who don't know, Lazy Oaf is a small fashion label which is now sold world wide and has expanded from t-shirts to all sorts of exciting goodies, jewellery, hats, stationary, badges, bags....and now even cushions! My crafty skills came in handy during my period there where I made some cushions to brighten up the studio. The guys loved them so asked me to make some for their shop, just off Carnaby Street. They went down so well there they also got me to make some for their online shop...

As well as creating cushions, making up jewellery and photographing stock for the site I also had the job of creating uses for Gemma's postcard book, cutting them up to make bird boxes and towers.

I had a great time, Thank you to all you Lazy Oafs, I shall miss you x
