Teeny Weeny Post Office...

My daughter spotted a mini post office set in a shop which was nice, but it's the thought that counts no? So I made her one for her birthday! Remember, it's the thought that counts... Continue reading

Better Late Than Never?

It has been a while and I know I've tweeted them daily, but here is my daughter's inbetween advent calendar. She felt to old for Polly Pocket and didn;t fancy chocolate. What's a girl to do..... Beyond expensive. Never again! Continue reading

It's been too long.

My MA is finally completed, and although I still have to wait to see how I did, the show is up and we celebrated at the Private View on Friday. It feels great to have finished it but also sad that our little MA gang is now about to disperse.... Continue reading

Hey Girl.

Since watching Drive my chap has been walking around chewing on an imaginary tooth pick wearing his thick woolly gloves asking if he reminds me of anybody. Honestly no. But Ryan Gosling seems to have captured many an imagination. And being a lady who likes to make stuff this blog... Continue reading

Prepare to be amazed. Or not.

I realise I am a very late adopter in admiration of this video for MIA's Bad Girls, but it really is awesome. It's that thing of creating something really magical from something not obviously beautiful. I am of course referring to the rubble and dented saloon cars there, not the... Continue reading

Woodcut weekend! Hot off the press!

I had booked onto a lino cut weekend ages ago (mentioned in a previous blog) at the very lovely Inkspot Press in Brighton. This rather pleasantly turned out to be a woodcut weekend, which I have to say I now prefer to lino. The wood although a bit harder to... Continue reading

Goldfinger...

No not that one, well sort of. Last night I went to a lecture given by the brilliant Michael Marriott. He referenced one of his design heroes Erno Goldfinger (whose name an angry Ian Fleming gave to his James Bond villan after Erno built his ultra modernist home a few... Continue reading

Feeling Festive?

With the outrageous and very controversial decision not to put the Christmas lights up in Lindfield this year, my usual trigger to feel all Christmassy is missing.
