Custom Plushie Fathers Day Rush 2014

Some of the custom plushie orders I fulfilled in the madness of the May/June Fathers Day rush after the awesome Not on the High Street TV advert!

Darren & Natalie's temporary tattoo wedding favours

 I've worked with some lovely couples this year on wedding stationery of all different shapes and sizes.  One of my faves was this batch of temporary tattoos that I did for Darren and Natalie Clucas who got married this August.  They wanted some fun favours to leave on the tables for their guests to use.  I created 80 bags of bright colourful tattoos which featured illustrations of things that had significance to them as a couple. (their cat Sydney of course starred in the mix!)

You can see photos of other wedding stationery I have designed over on my website.

You & Me Lookalike Dolls

While I wait for Baby M to show up I'm catching up on some photos I took earlier this year.  Here's a range of 'You & Me Lookalike dolls' which I completed for various customers in 2014.  They've been discontinued for the holidays but will be available again in 2015 so make a note in your diary to get an order in early.  They make awesome graduation gifts, Valentines pressies etc.

For your pockets

New pretty pocket mirrors available through my etsy shop. They make great stocking stuffers!

Saturday shower

Some photos from the baby shower my buddies threw me this weekend.  Super tasty lunch at Fig + Sparrow accompanied by tea, coffee, many laughs and plenty of cake. Such a happy afternoon!

Such a shame

This morning we realised that my beautiful fixed gear bike has been stolen from under our noses.  It was either in our cellar or hallway and because I've not been riding it recently we don't know how long it's been gone for or when/how it was taken.  Richard built this bike for me, he sourced every part with care and taught himself how it all went together.  He researched suppliers and because he is a very particular man with an eye for detail the end product was a symbol of his love and character which is why I so proudly told anyone who asked about my bike 'My better half made it for me!'

I really hope karma comes back around for whoever took this special belonging of mine. It's so sad to think you have to lock things up in your own house... and very creepy to know someone walked off with something of ours while we were perhaps upstairs unknowingly feeling safe and harmless.

Bastards!

(By the way, if you see the bike around Manchester please feel free to let me know! I'd pay a reward for the return of my bike!)
