In a Noo York state of mind

I heart New York and today the new song 'New York' by Paloma Faith is stuck in my head - I love it! Her website has loads of cool pics and a blog - check it out here.

I also love this amazingly intricate New York papercut by Famille Summerbelle - they also have one of London and Paris, but the NY one is definitely on my Christmas wishlist - would look great above the sofa..

And while we're in New York, I love the Sweet Fine Day blog - a tale of family and creativity in Brooklyn, with beautiful photos and recipes.

Three Little Pigs

Today the World's Biggest Coffee Morning is taking place - in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

One of my lovely stockists - Three Little Pigs in Pershore took part and had some of my Cuppa cards on sale for Macmillan, plus the opportunity to paint a caricature on a mug, great idea!

Les Oiseaux

I've been making some Christmas Tree birds, to sell, to give, or maybe to keep.. I quite fancy a Christmas Tree completely covered in birds..
I'll be selling them in sets of three in my shop soon!

Molly Mouse

Some doodling turned into a little paper mouse with an extensive paper wardrobe- Molly Mouse is now available to buy as a PDF in the shop.

VanFest!

We went to Vanfest at the Three Counties Showground on Saturday which was good fun -


Camper Vans of all shapes, sizes, colours and ages. And a couple of Beetles too..

I loved this weird and wonderful musical instrument..

Feeling Autumnal

I love September, that feeling of new beginnings.
We went blackberrying this week and managed to actually get home with a few left.. enough for a blackberry and apple crumble - our own apples too!


I've been trying to get in a Christmassy state of mind and have started some Christmas card designs, sneaky peek below..

Windy Welsh weekend

After a first day at school... we decided to go to the Gower for the weekend.
It was very windy but we had some good beachcombing expeditions..

Bill found a funny long-armed crab, then lost it..

Cartonlandia

This is Cartonlandia - a town built from cardboard by Mexican / American artist Ana Serrano.
I want to live in the lime green house on the righthand side! Check out her website for more amazing cardboard creations.
