Monday, 29 September 2014. Retro fabric design for this weeks Spoonflower contest and other fabric designs. It's been quite a while since I entered a Spoonflower fabric design contest. This weeks challenge was chairs and tables and in my back catalogue of designs I had a retro chair fabric which I always felt lacked a bit of oomph (see pic below) so I decided to rework it. Also reworked this last week was another of my butterfly waltz fabric designs. Tuesday, 23 September 2014. I was delighted to find ou...

Friday, 27 February 2015. Fabric contest, more neckwarmers and the motorway mermaid. Strange sort of month, not the best so pleased it's nearly done. I very quickly knocked up a fabric design for this weeks Spoonflower contest as I've not joined in for ages, the subject was Cubist Cats. Loads of entries as cats are always popular, here's mine. More neckwarmers have been crocheted as it's still blooming freezing in the house and you can't have too many neckwarmers! Friday, 13 February 2015. Some renovatio...

Friday, 28 August 2015. My fave veggie cafe is closing and other bits. The end of an era looms as my favourite veggie cafe in Bridlington, The Little Organic Bakery (formerly Bean There), is closing sometime in September. My friends who own it are going in to semi-retirement and looking forward to doing other things now they have their first grand child. It's a real shame but nothing stands still and I have some lovely memories of happy times with friends and food from my trips to the cafe over the years.

Thursday, 30 June 2011. Vintage Alice In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass By Lewis Carroll. A strange thing about these world famous stories for children is that the author was really a great mathematician at Oxford. His real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Once read, no one can ever forget the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, the Queen of Hearts, the Caterpillar and all the other characters that came from the fertile mind of the friend of these girls.

Tuesday, 26 August 2014. Two vintage book style needlecases. Normal day to day design work has taken priority of late and I have a couple of interesting logo designs on the boil which I will reveal when they have been decided on and finalised. In the meantime here are a couple of crafty things recently completed. I do quite like making sewing needlecases and I've indulged in having some of my own books from when I was a toddler in the late 60's, printed onto fabric and stitched into a book style. Other m...
