Countdown to Crimbo

Love little shops Christmas count down

If you are local to Milton Keynes pop along tomorrow to the "love little shops" website and count down to crimbo with them. Each day promotes another small business and showcases them, their wares and any offers. Buy local this Christmas and help your community flourish! Oh yes and I designed the advent Calendar for them : )

How old?

I designed these age cards for the lovely folk at Cherry Orchard. They are part of the Oh la la range I did last year.  You can't see it here (dull day, bad snaps - sorry) but they are covered in glittery gorgeousness and are printed on thick matt card - I'm really pleased with how they turned out.

It's Friday - Yey! Why not have a dance to this FAB mash up : )

Wonky fruit and veg

Anyone else been watching the Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall series Hugh's War on Waste on the BBC? I have just watched it on catch up and was shocked by the amount of food that doesn't even get to the supermarket. 30% of the fruit and veg grown doesn't even reach the supermarket as it's deemed imperfect (supermarkets have stringent standards). Seeing tons of edible fruit and veg that was just a bit wonky or slightly blemished  thrown away is shameful. You can see the series here and sign the petition here!

Just in case...

It's Friday the 13th. Even though I don't believe all that mumbo jumbo good luck anyway...

I wish I could dance like this...

On 6 Music today Lauren Laverne was talking about Billy Preston's amazing dancing.  I looked him up on Youtube and wow yes what an amazing dancer - love his yellow suit too...

Still loving a pom-pom

As the nights draw and it's getting wintery outside, I find making pom- poms a cosy occupation while snuggling up on the sofa of an evening. I can't stop adding them to stuff and making them. When making my own I use  a pom-pom maker from here, it's great and you can make them super quickly and in different sizes. For ideas on what to do with pom-poms once you've made them take a look at my Pinterest page here.

Cat - wizard, burglar, zombie something-or-other...

Seems to me kids throw the lot on for trick or treating nowadays. Such fun!

Pumpkins, squashes and autumn sunshine...

It's half term week!
