Carousel on Tigerprint!

Carousel on Tigerprint!

Today a piece of my work has been put up on the Tigerprint HomePage! : )


This has made me so happy!

27 dresses..

27 dresses..

..Well actually I have more like 35 dresses. Today I cleaned out my wardrobe and discovered I have a massive amount of dresses - who knew?!?







So I'm cutting myself off for a while, NO more internet shopping. 
Or definitely no more dresses at least.

Moby's busy day

Moby's busy day

Moby is having a really busy day so far.
He's been hanging out with his best friend in all the rooms of the house.



And defeating the evil loo roll holder!

Logo loves.

Logo loves.

Today I created a header and logo for the 'Sound and Design' blog. 

The original piece - drawn by hand

Version 1 coloured.
Something wasn't quite right with this design.
As my boyfriend stated it's too me and not enough of him. : )


Finished version.
Perfect.

Date night

Date night

Tom suggested a spontaneous 'date night' yesterday - to go see Batman the dark night rises at our local cinema.

Originally I was worried about the new Batman, I wanted it to live up to the amazing series Christopher Nolan has created. Batman the dark knight rises does not disappoint!


In a word the movie is amazing.
I was even surprised by Anne Hathaway's performance as Catwoman, she flawlessly moved from demure to temptress vixen. Tom Hardy's Bane is a powerful villain and nemesis to Batman. 


Writing this out now makes me want to watch it all over again. 
All in all it was a great date night!

Outfit for something special..

Outfit for something special..

I've been looking for just the right outfit for a while now, its for an all day and night wedding.
I did have other outfits I could wear, however everyone seemed to be buying something new so I treated my self to this mink coloured silky dress.


I can't wait to wear it! It's super soft and hangs really nicely.
However once purchasing the dress I struggled so much getting shoes to match.
I have settled on these satin rocket dogs, the colours do look good together but I am worried the shoes will pinch. I guess I'll just have to take some emergency plasters with me!


Now all I need to do is find the perfect clutch bag to go with this outfit.

Home life

Home life

I've been wanting my very own wall of art for a while now, and I really like the photographs where people have put together a range of work all varying sizes in all different frames. Just like the image below.

Please note that the above image does not belong to me.

I have more inspiring images like this on my Pinterest Board - Home Life.

I have begun work on my own art wall of wonder, and ever so slowly my living room wall will look like this!
So far I have:
Fox Face

Me & You painting

Yelling portrait

Party Rings print

LEON print

Ex-display heart from when I worked at Accessorize.

There will hopefully be many more soon. : )

Delicious!

Delicious!

Just popped by to say, these were the best chocolates I have ever had.
I loved every one of them!


They came all the way from Belgium with my Sister and her boyfriend.



I ate a bunch of these and I was very satisfied with the gift.
You should have seen the smile on my face when I found the extra layer! : )


Shirt fabric cushions

Shirt fabric cushions


I recently obtained this selection of shirting fabrics.
I thought they all sat really nicely together with just the right amount of contrast in colour and pattern.
But what to do with them?!



Make cushions of course!
They look so nice all sat together and the colours look great against the quilt I made with my mum and nan over the Christmas period.

Sketching and doodles

Sketching and doodles

I also take part in another blog, named 'Sound and Design' with my boyfriend Tom.
I'm in the process of creating the header for the blog.


This is the second idea so far and this layout is a lot better.
Now it just needs a bunch of colours and patterns!

I've also been creating these little characters to represent myself and Tom.
I'll show you the updated pieces when finished.

Treat time!

Treat time!

Yesterday I picked up these cute little treats, I just couldn't resist them.


The packaging is super cute and colourful.





As you can see they are Koala biscuits with a chocolaty centre.


Even the foil packaging had small koala faces on it!


And the biscuits themselves?
Cute as ever and Yum. Exactly as stated a biscuit shell with chocolate centre.
Unfortunately they weren't as nice as 'Hello Panda' of which I could munch on all day long but they are still recommended as a awesome snack!
