So as some of you are aware I recently joined the fantastic Not on The High Street. My shop isn't live yet, everything is 'under review' I am waiting for the comments for changes or the OK from the people at NOTHS before it can go live. In the mean time I have given my Etsy shop a long overdue spruce.I have also just started to upload products to my Folksy shop again..So if you use Folksy or Etsy please do visit my shops :)

Valentines cards in my shop!

They come on white card with white envelopes and packaged in a cellophane sleeve.
Perfect for valentines, anniversaries, birthdays or just as a note card. My grandma got the Roses card for her birthday and she loved it :-)

These cards are £2 each and available from my Etsy shop.

So now the shop talk is aside how are you all? My January is going really fast, how about yours? I don't feel like I've even got my head round the fact that we are in a new year yet..! There is a lot to get my head around and lots to look forward to this year.

I took some photographs this morning around the house, it's had a few nice additions thanks to my nan who treated us to some new coat hooks and a lamp shade (thanks nan). They were from Urban outfitters and I had my eye on a fabric lampshade for a while. Mind you it does block a lot of the light out, the living room is sort of like a cosy cave at the moment!

 
 Ooops all my photos won't play nice today, they are refusing to stick to the center, tsk tsk!Anyhoo have a good evening folks. I'm going to watch the second part of the new Sherlock Holmes series on Channel 1 at 9pm, anyone been watching it? The first was pretty good!

Take care guys speak soon x

A few more days to go, and the Exeter Christmas pop up shop is opening for 1 more day!

That right! The Exeter Christmas Pop up shop is opening for one last day.  The shop stocks a huge selection of makers work. Ceramics, photography, painting, jewelry and textiles (oh and my prints and cards too)! Tomorrow on Thursday 22nd December the lovely organisers, Isgard & Laurel will open the shop for the last day before Xmas. A perfect chance for you to get your last minute stocking fillers and gifts. The shop is based at 1 New Bridge Street and is open until 9pm, so why not do some late night shopping then grab a mulled wine?!

Here's the link to the Facebook group for the Exeter Christmas Pop up shop

And here's the link to the article about the shop ran by the 'this is Exeter' website!

Christmas orders

These dates should mean that the orders will arrive before Christmas. Obviously I can't guarantee anything but I will get things sent out before the Royal mail deadline.

Unfortunately it is now too late to post international and have it arrive before Christmas.Sorry!

The trees outside are golden

Oh yes they are! Very beautiful indeed. I drove up to the midlands this past Sunday and went for a walk on the Mendips and I was surprised by how much more golden all the trees were up country. We went to view a puppy, but there had been a mix up and they had re-homed him already :-( We got the call when we were half way there. Double sad face :-( Well our search for a pup will continue but not for a while as Ben and I are working too much, this was our window where one of us would of been at home for a month.

ANYWAY that is not what I wanted to tell you! I wanted to say that my 'Christmas Robin' Christmas card is now on Etsy, priced at £1.50 per card..Go buy go...!

Blog mention - Emily Parkes

I was featured over at Emily Parkes blog today. This totally made my day as Emilys blog is gorgeous! Also as I have been so quiet on the art front lately it was a nice little surprise to get a mention.

Emily also has an AMAZING Etsy shop, you can view it here.
I really like her textile art, especially the cupcake pieces! Happy, fun, girly!



Thanks for the feature Emily!

I won I won!

That's right! I won this gorgeous necklace made by Emily of the Etsy shop 'NestingEmily' in a recent giveaway.. The pendant is made of porcelain and has a blue glass inlay, I love the long chain that it comes on..I have worn it every day since it arrived, it came all the way from Canada..I love that about Etsy and crafting...I own things that were created by people who live far far away..Things that were created with love, time and care. Much better than owning something made in a factory don't you think?

Thank you Emily for my necklace :-)

To see more of Emilys work visit her Etsy shop.

What are you all up to this weekend? My sister is coming to visit from Devon, she has not been to my house or met the Arthur cat yet so it's all very exciting! I have the wine and chocolate at the ready for a girls night in. :-)



Happy Saturday people! **

PS:don't forget there is only a few days left to get 20% off in my Etsy shop! Using the code SILLYMOO.

Oh how I love tiny bunting!

I also love big bunting, fabric bunting, lace bunting, paper bunting, animal shaped bunting...You get the picture.. ;-)

My mum and step dad came to visit for the weekend, and whilst the men were watching 127 hours (The one where the chap falls down the rock, and has to saw off his own arm with a blunt pen knife...Not for the squeamish, but an amazing story all the same)! My mum and I made tiny paper bunting! We made some using blue twine and old maps of devon for my kitchen windows. Then we made some using left over scraps of wrapping paper for my living room. So simple yet I love them! 

Its added a bit of color and fun to the house. I really can't wait to get all the floors/walls done, and the log burner put in the living room. I've been putting off adding any sort of nice bits and bobs until then, as I know it'll all have to be moved...

I also got this crochet blanket from a vintage shop in the Clifton Mall in Bristol yesterday, it's so nice and colourful. Sweet don't you think?

I've had a nice weekend  & I hope you are all having lovely weekends too******

PS: Don't forget there is 20% off in my Etsy shop until the end of August with the coupon code SILLYMOO.

30th June

June lovely June...

you are almost gone
Tomorrow we will say hello to July and hopefully a month full of sunshine.

What are your plans for July?

Two of mine are:

To do some painting, I have restless images of paintings whirling round my brain, they really need to come out and I can't wait to begin work on them.

To cook different foods, I've fallen into the cycle of eating the same things and I really want to try some new healthy (and not so healthy, lavender shortbread anyone)?! foods.

All is busy here but good, and I hope to share more with you soon but for now here are some gems that caught my eye whilst browsing this evening.

Blog feature over at Dutch Blog Vlinspiratie

The Lovely Onneke got in touch with me to let me know that my work had been featured over at the blog Vlinspiratie run by Monique van der Vlist.  Monique works as an art director for the Dutch creative living magazine: 101 Living Ideas

Here are some screen shots taken from Vlinspiratie today:

 
Monique featured my Vintage Teacup print and also my Spools of thread print.  Both of which are for sale in my Etsy shop.

I will also have a new piece of work to show you soon. It is a banner that I have been working on for the lovely Katie Meyer who runs the design/lifestyle blog 'Creative Item' (used to be 'Kate makes it'). I really like how it's turned out and hopefully I'll be able to show you in the next few days!

Cheerio for now! :-)

Sunshine

We had a lovely sunny saturday over here, I stayed in my pjs far too long playing with the cat and preparing for a visit from some Devon friends...We had a bbq in the evening and walked along the river in the afternoon. It was lovely to catch up with some great friends, silk screen printing weekends and surf trips were organised and I can't wait! I have so many printing ideas going on in my mind...Which reminds me that I still have to finish some lino prints...Oops!

Also did anyone notice the comment left by Dana on the post below?? She is offering readers of this blog 10% off anything in her new shop Apple & Pie by using the coupon: Rebekah... Go find something you like!

Have a good monday everyone!
