Weekend baking

I've just had a lovely homely weekend doing a bit of gardening (hacking away at anything that got in my way!) and baking. I over ordered on bananas in last weeks online shop and so had a nice excuse to use a few up by baking banana and cinnamon muffins from The Hummingbird Bakery cook book. They were rather nice, if I do say so myself!

Christmas...but not too christmassy

It would be such a shame to post some incredibly Christmassy designs when we're having such wonderful weather...so I won't! These new ones are a nice compromise I think...pretend the blue background is the spring sky or something!

For those of you who loved Sweet Valley High!

My friend Jem tweeted me yesterday with a link to a brilliant blog The Dairi Burger If you ever read SVH books when you were younger and now realise just how hilarious they actually were, you will love it.

I'm worried I won't be getting much work done as I trawl through the archives and read it all!

Hearing about this blog reminded me of a quick project I did at uni where I redesigned a SVH book jacket...very embarrassing now but here's my take on Elizabeth and Jessica.



Jessica is the one with the hoop earrings because she was so much cooler! Hahahah!

A new arrival

Apologies for the lack on posts lately. Here's some more new baby designs from a couple of weeks ago.

I'm finding it hard to post while the weather is being quite cheerful (excluding today) as I'm mainly working on new Christmas designs and no one wants to see snow and Santa at this time of the year! I've also been spending a little bit of time wedding planning and designing our invites, which I'd love to share with you but will wait until they've been sent out - I fear I am becoming a bride that talks too much and the last thing I want to be is a bore!

A bit of wedding planning

As we're soon approaching the 6 month countdown to our wedding I've been spending a bit of time planning, designing and making. Here's a little sneak peak of the fabrics we're* using in the decorations...

* By 'we' I of course mean 'my mum'
