...and her name is Olive.Olive was born on the 22nd December and so my Christmas has been the most amazing blur of joy and happiness, she is growing every day and I well up every time I think that I have made her, I am the proudest mom.So I begin the new year with a new addition to fit my work around and I cant wait!Happy New Year everyone and see you in 2011!! :)
I came runner up in the Tigerprint competition, they said nice things about my design. "A beautiful design, demonstrating a great placement along with the brilliant stitched detail. Great design".
...I have mostly been making marmalade, I now class marmalade as a 'professional' thing to make as although I am pleased with the way my jars look and taste now, getting to this point was not easy.My first batch boiled over and poured into the oven, all over the work surfaces and floor declaring these things forever sticky and the second batch caught on the bottom but still tastes rather nice mainly due to the generous spoonfuls of good ol Jack Daniels!! Respect to the jam makers and back to the childrenswear designs, Happy Monday x
Thank you everyone who took part in my little giveaway and congratulations to Lara Ede over at laraedeillustration.blogspot.com/ whose name was pulled out of my woolly hat!!I cannot believe it is another Friday already, I am however certainly NOT complaining, am planning on putting up the tree and generally getting in the mood for Christmas so here is wishing all of my followers a very happy weekend, see you on the other side ;)
Happy Monday all!

My luck was in then yesterday when my name got pulled out of the hat for a great giveaway over at the Farnell blog http://farnelldoodles.blogspot.com.Its going to look brill on my mantlepiece and brings me joy on a slightly overcast design moment so a thank you to you farnell.
4 days inside now due to the snow and although going slightly stir crazy I have been motoring with work inspired by the snow, HAVE to go out tomorrow so it better have started to thaw!!In contrast to the snow I did fancy a bit of the lastest Tigerprint comp so here are my 2 springy mothers day entries, have great weekends everyone x x x
Well down here the snow doesnt always tend to stick around so I was pretty suprised this morning to see that it has and Brighton is white, exciting.This is a design I have just sent over to my agent inspired by the snow, although I am all snuggly and warm at the mo it is tempting to get togged up and go and take some photos...maybe later! x
