Good ol' Santa...

Never forgets the penguins!

Happy Halloween!

Have a good weekend everyone, whether it be spooky based or not!

My fancy dress past...

With Halloween on Saturday I thought I'd share with you some of my previous fancy dress outfits. When I have time I love to use my design skills and go as objects...here's a selection - all made by me!


The coke can was for a 'C' themed party, the jiffy bag for a 'J' themed party and the Game Boy (this was David's outfit but courtesy of me) was for a 'everything but now' themed party (I went as a flapper - BORING!!)

Alas, I'm going to be boring again on Saturday and will be stuffing some old tights and becoming a spider...I simply haven't the time!

Christmas Houses

I love to work on a Christmas house themed design, I'm working on one today but here's one from a few months ago...


This is a section from a little Christmas village on a hill design. It's making me look forward to Christmas even more...making the house Christmassy is the BEST bit!

Colourful Christmas

Seeing as the shops are full of Christmas everything and Christmas adverts are being shown on the telly I don't feel quite so out of place posting Christmas designs. Here's a couple of sections of a pop up card I've been working on today. It's time to feel festive! Oh I do love Christmas...which helps in this job!

more dad style

I finished off my dad/male themed day yesterday with these designs. I'm really pleased with the colours of these - it's nice to do mans stuff for a change!

work in progress

today it's the dad's turn...fathers day themed work for me!

How I work

It's not like me to post twice in one day but just really liked how this looked! When I'm working on a repeat pattern my computer usually runs frustratingly slow as I've got things copied and pasted all over the shop! I'm ashamed to admit that it's only just occurred to me to strip the the duplicated work of all it's colour and pattern swatches to make life much easier for myself! I LOVE how it looks, I wish I could leave it like that but somehow I don't think the customers would like it!

work in progress

Am having a productive week so far, I'm working under the threat of a nasty cold but have been battling through - have far to much to do to be ill! Have been working on different themes this week than I usually do (not Christmas!) this is a little snippet of a mothers day themed design I'm working on.

work in progress - pets

It's cat day today, as new cat owner myself I'm having a rather nice time designing these!
