the BEST party!!

we had the best day yesterday and I really think olive GOT the fact that it was her birthday, after having 'Happy Birthday' sung at her all the time, she loved her princess cake and got spoilt rotten, it was FAB :)

Olive is 1.

Happy Birthday to the little one!! its been a rollercoaster year but what a mighty fine one at that :)

Olives got some mates popping over this afternoon ( ALL boys!) and then cake and present opening with tha family later, too good x

smile for the birdy.

I have been really enjoying illustrating birds this year and intend to continue doing so , this is one I was playing with last week for t-shirts x

Stig.

hallo!! been drawing my stig, stig is a rescue cat, bit jumpy to say the least, never sat on my lap and doesn't let me pick him up apart from the once in the cattery when we were reunited after 2 weeks and I picked him up for a cuddle and he lept from my arms whilst shredding the palm of my hand at the same time aah happy dayZZZZzzzzzzzz :) 

lush.

hallo last week at the Lush xmas party in the very delicious fresh and tasty Bills of Brighton we did secret santa and I was over the moon with these lovely handmade matryoshka dolls from Sarah, apparently her boyf was responsible for the faces. Cant wait to hang these on the tree for a small amount of time before Olive yanks them off and eats them!!!

give a whale a home...

last night I took my other half to see Turin Brakes in a church as a surprise, he loves um, it was fab, an acoustic celebration that echoed around this HUGE church, with beer...can you sell beer in a church...?!? apparently so!!

today my dad has flown back to Majorca and I have uploaded my remaining whales and head scarves to etsy. To peek click here

this week I have been mainly mom, grandma moved house so they have had plenty of sorting out to do their end and I have been getting some quality time with my little lady, didnt ACTUALLY think it would be possible to get any tireder( is that even a word?!?) but it appears you can, am frazzled but  Olive is now saying mummy, byeee, night night and standing on her own but not quite ready to take those first few steps but sure wont be long!!!! look at that little mush :)

its POP time :)

hi there chaps so did a bit of Karaoke saturday night oh yeah delighted to see this on the choice list, my current fave poptastic joy bringer, if you dont dance there really is something wrong with you :)
