Happy Halloween!!

Friday night was pumpkin carving night with 2 friends, havent actually done this too much in my time and enjoyed it soooo much, I tried to recreate my fiancee as a pumpkin! ( mine is the middle one) they looked great all together and we spent ages photographing them like celebrities afterwards, at the same time eating more cake, JOY!!! Happy Halloween everyone :) and can I say a big hurrah for Sunday roasts!!

Small magazine.

I have been busy researching all sorts of kidswear this week around Brighton and it was greatly appreciated when I was pointed in the direction of Small magazine and their blog, it has lots of funky interesting kids things, perfect for helping my creative brain.

I have reached 40!!

Hurrah I have reached 40...followers not quite in age although did celebrate my 35th birthday yesterday and I had to share some of the gorgeous things I was bought, birthdays rule!
After filling up on the nicest vegan cake and then proceeding to sugar buzz around town with a friend the shoes (my self confessed addiction!) were the classic 'gift to myself', they came in this amazing Alice in Wonderland box too, they make me soo happy!!
I am hoping to have time to draw the amazing bouquet of flowers which were delivered to my door from my fiance and use the juicy paperchase crayons too.
I am in love with the smell of the Tokyo milk perfume, the packaging is just gorgeous and there were 5 mini mini cards in the box too which I really want to send but the envelop will be as big as a stamp!
Finally a selection of some of my fave cards, all my friends say it is the hardest thing to buy for me, I think they have all chosen some amazing designs!
A big thank you to all of my 40 followers YOU RULE!! XXX

Chloe Cheese.

Hallo, I really dont know where this week has gone! I have been working on lots of new textiles pieces for my new textile agent and last night took a break to go to a BIG meeting where the really lovely illustrator Chloe Cheese was showing pieces of her work.
Chloe above, began by showing a piece of the wallpaper that her Mom had produced for the dining room of the house she grew up in which was beautiful.
Chloe attended the Royal College of Art during the 70's where Quentin Blake was one of her lecturers, wow!
I loved the loose feel of her work, it was totally inspiring, especially Chloes' food illustrations and books are definately worth looking out for.
