Bibs, Bibs and more Bibs!

I've finally found a moment to photograph a selection of my bibs that I make under the label 'Wild & Beautiful'. I must spend about 80% of my working day making products for babies and children to sell at the local craft market. The bibs are my best seller. I intend to get really organised this year and set up an online shop and keep my Etsy 'Wild & Beautiful' shop up to date and full! I find it really hard to keep up with demand and have had to turn away many a shop that are interested in stocking my designs...so, this year that's all going to change! Watch this space!

Something's Gotta Change...

It's been six months since my last exhibition and indeed, since I last created a body of art work. After I started my 'business' in October, juggling that with being a mother has pretty much consumed me. Even last night, my first planned night out in months and months, I fell asleep before the night had even begun. Or indeed before I had even left the house. Art, exercise, writing and me time has all gone to pot and something's gotta change! Life is too short...

Wonderful treasures from Encants...

I was very excited to find this beautiful cushion and throw set at Encants today. It was a bit of a comic struggle getting it all back on my bike (imagine a big bag on each handle and another between my legs...good exercise though, cycling bow-legged!) andwell worth it. How amazingly beautiful are they? All hand embroidered by an amazingly talented mystery person...definitely a worthy heirloom. There are 9 cushions and 2 large throws on all. Only the other day I was saying how I wanted my sofa to be a haven of shabby boho chic with hundreds of cushions (I'm intending on making my own from some of the gorgeous vinatge fabric I've collected). So this is a great start!
