Weekend walk

I was in two counties this weekend and took a few random photos of the sea at night well the coastline lit up here's just a one...although its out of focus and the light's reacted I actually liked the effect.Then we took the dogs out for a long walk yesterday and I took some quick snaps of farm machinery which I think could be quite useful for reference with the shapes and repetitiveness and the lovely public foothpaths.

Clara bunting

Here's my latest bunting commission. It's for my friend Emma, her friend has just had a beautiful a baby girl called Clara. I'll be looking forward to hearing if she likes it or not.

Lack of computer

Hi all....I have a slight problem at the moment in that my laptop for home has been stolen. I have access at work so hopefully it won't stop me posting too much but there maybe a lack of them.

Hope all is well.

Bunting and Bows Magazine article

   

My old friend Beth and I are 'Bunting and Bows' and we have been lucky enough to get chosen to be part of an article in a Kent magazine later this month. KentMama is a parenting magazine that has a high print run and will get distributed into all the children's school bags across parts of Kent, be in doctors surgeries, libraries etc. We are hoping that it will give us a little kick start in the early stages of our new venture.

                                            

The article is about new creative business' starting up by mum's and Beth being a mum of her gorgeous daughter Matilda we qualified.I've been going through trying to pick out some of our better shots to send them.

Cow Parsley

I've always loved the structure of these and the skies were a great backdrop over the weekend.

Elephants and lions anyone?

Elephants and Lions....why not we always have the same old animals for christmas thought it might make a nice change or perhaps I'm going slightly mad.

What do you think??

Is the long weekend really over?

I can't believe the 3 day weekend is over and its back to the grindstone again tomorrow.No more extra holiday time now til christemas then.
I've got lots of lovely photos to download tomorrow and put up on here, some fab ones of the drying cowslip against beautiful blue skies. They make a striking silhouette, just love the structures of them and could take way too many photos.
Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

CamiCuckoo

I went to a meeting on Wednesday night at Movida in Soho for the forcoming Mo'Tash Charity event in November. Its a creative based organisation for raising awareness and money specifically for testicular and ovarian cancer. find out more here

www.motash.com

While I was there I met alot of like-minded creative people which was great and to be able to help even in a small way for a charity like this is a worth while thing. 

We all know seem to know someone these days who has been touched by cancer in some shape or form. The awareness is so much greater and the need for research and care is always in need.

I met this lovely fashion designer Camilla see some of her work below find her at 

CamiCuckoo.com

Her work is just fab.She is showing at this years London Fashion week in September. I will post more details when I have them. everyone should pop along. 

Cupcake pin cushion

Here's my first attempt at a little cupcake pin cushion. 

I'd seen the beauties below in a cake shop in St Pancras International...can't remember the name of the shop now but they had some amazing looking cakes. It made me want to do something from it.

I had a friends birthday coming up and heres the sketch for her card too.

A few pieces from Bunting and Bows more to come soon

Here's my god daughter's room with her 'Amelia' bunting in situe.

Close up of 'Amelia'

Here's our first website commission 'Syke'

'Dreams' : Here's a present I did for my friend Claire, she wanted one for her spare room.

More to follow, I am in the process of thinking up and making prototypes for new products, watch this space.

Lavender scented heart

Just a couple of snap shots of this present I made for Giles' mum's birthday the week before last. Using a mix of new and old materials....its good to recycle.I turned bit and pieces into a heart that she can hang up in the wardrobe or put in a draw. In the stuffing I mixed in lots of dried lavender.

mmm been along time

Its been a long time since i was on here, its been a busy year.

I thought it was about time i found reset my password....it was well and truly forgotten, look into having a revamp and start again!!

My friend Beth and I have just started up a website and are seeing how things go with it.It's been taking up alot of time.One step at a time though, fingers crossed they get bigger. We are both new to business but not being creative. It's mainly for children at the moment but I will do some off-shoots on here.I've got some other ideas and products that aren't appropriate for there and may take off else where.So I will posting to see what everyone thinks.
It would be good to get some feedback,go take a look. Thanks.
