chickens with sparkly cardigans

The title of this blog entry may seem a little abstract, until you see the picture below...

I have to say it has been one of the highlights of half term, to see a whole group of battery chickens wearing their hand-knitted (I assume bespoke!) cardigans, at a delightful little ramshackle farm we visited with friends.

Other joys were a full hour of sunshine- the children needed no more entertainment than a rusty tractor and a fallen log to keep them happy... combined with chocolate cakes, what more could one ask..........

make your own... whatever you want!

I have been dithering for ages about how to change my existing business cards before ordering new ones, and when I realised I had left it too late to order them in time for my next event I decided to make my own!

The design is handprinted from the linocut I made to print notes and thank yous; the stamped bit at the bottom is from a stamp I already had for the backs of my cards! Had I more time (ha ha) I would have cut the complete design into lino, but hey, they'll do for now.

couldn't resist...

Okay, so images of them are everywhere... but having practically grown up in one, I don't consider myself jumping on the bandwagon by making a linocut of my dream VW. 'Camper Love'. I just couldn't resist! So here is a sneaky peek at the first layer of pink. To be completed as a 2/3 colour editioned print...

never too late for a little LOVE?!

I know Valentine's Day was yesterday, but... I only came across this website today, and wanted to spread the word (and the love) about this amazing project.

I wish I could see it in person- have a look for yourselves!

A Love Letter for You

shopping!

what better way to brighten up a freezing Saturday afternoon than a visit to one of my favourite shops!

Always my first port of call whenever a friend's child (or my childrens' friends!) have a birthday, Rosita Lollipop is just the cutest and most adorable little shop on the planet!

You can see why, when not only can I get presents the parent AND child adore, but I can kit out my boys like this...

HOW cute are they! (I suppose the boys are rather sweet as well)

introducing my new notonthehighstreet shop!
