Full and Happy.

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. We had a fun day of the usual...presents, a good roast, and then cant move from the sofa all evening ;)I was spoilt. All my presents were lovely, i'm a lucky lady. Heres a few of them......

My friend Jen got me this coolio cushion. It is by a british designer called Robin and Mould. I have an owl cushion by them. So now she has a friend :)



The boyfriend got me Nina Ricci perfume :) And this tray by one of my favourite illustrators Marc Boutavant



My friend John got me these Hello Kitty/Liberty toiletries....Perfect.



You can't have Christmas without a few games. I love Cranium it's super fun!



So now it is the weird space of time between Christmas and New Year. I'm back to work now. I'm sorting out the gallery as we will be closed for January and Febuary. I have been creating a bit as i made a few presents this year. But of course i wrapped and gave them without taking a photo (silly me) so i shall post them soon. I made Jen an embroidery and my niece a sweet painting :)

Last day of work, Happy Christmas :)

Well hurray it is my last day at work before Christmas :) (I don't have the internet at home :(. )I hope you all have a brilliant Christmas, I am super excited. I cant wait to have a mulled wine and spend time with my family. I plan to post alot more when I get back!! Enjoy ;)



Pictures have been borrowed by Bettyjoy, have a look at her blog it's FAB ;)

Stationary obsession.

I'm a sucker for stationary. I have no explanation fot it, but i have drawers filled with notelets,tape,rubber stamps etc. I have a lot of mt tape that i bought in Japan and haven't used yet. But i have a few ideas up my sleeve so hope to create in the new year ;)
