Inspiration

I never seem to get much time to browse other blogs like i used to which is a shame but every now and again i take a minute or 30. Reading other people's blogs always gives me lots of inspiration and makes me feel really motivated to get creating things.
Here is what has been inspiring me recently......

Designers Marketplace

So it's almost here! And i think im almost ready!

Sunday 28th November Designers Marketplace at Middlesbrough Town Hall 11-4pm.

Why not get all your Christmas shopping done at once. Come down and have a peruse of all the fabulous artists and designers that will be showcasing.

Pom Pom POW!

So i have been busy preparing for Designers Market place and another project.
Now i relise this is going to qualify me as a Granny but... I am addicted to making pom poms! I had seen pom poms featured on a blog a couple of weeks ago and thought i have to have a bash at making some. Here is your warning, pom pom making is highly addictive! I had fun making them but didn't leave the house for a few days and if i did it was just to get more wool.

Anyway one million pom poms down the line and i had to think of something to actually make them into. So i figured Christmas is coming up, how about a pom pom garland. Festive colours red, green and white, ideal for draping over a fire place or hung around the christmas tree.

I stamped up some with compliments slips to put with the pom pom garland and packaged them in brown paper lunch bags, cute?

Today's Activities

made with love

Just a little thank you present for someone

Well im back from America... unfortunately. Back to reality and not to mention the rubbish weather!

November is turning out to be a very busy month for me.

Once i arrrived back from America i got a surprise phone call and got some exciting news. I can't really say too much now but once all the plans are in place i shall let you know so sit tight!

I have my graduation on the 15th of November which i am really nervous about. Then i guess i can call myself a properly qualified designer.

For the past couple of months i have been preparing for Designers Marketplace which is Sunday 28th November. Held at Middlesbrough Town Hall, this time it is in the main hall rather than the crypt. Hope to see you there!

making a mess, again

Today i bought some paper punches that i had been wanting for a long time but are pretty overpriced at home. Anyway because im such a kid i couldn't wait to test them out so as soon as i got in i had a play around and made a mess.

It's given me an idea of some stuff to make for my designers marketplace stall.

Shake It Like a Polaroid Picture

I love polaroid pictures!
I have whipped up some magnetic polaroid frames, transform any photograph or image into a polaroid! On sale at Designers Marketplace, November 28th or send me an email if you are interested.

love me do

After making a little wedding present the other day it inspired me to make some more love heart fabric collages but on a slightly bigger scale. I think i may frame these and sell them at Designers Marketplace in November.

We got the idea from Creature Comforts blog.
