tea and cake

Afternoon_tea


I like tea and cake.

It’s a shame I can’t invite you all round to share some, so instead I’d like to invite you to my next post (which will be my 100th) as I’m planning a little giveaway (no RSPV required). Please drop by early next week.

By the way, when there is cake you have to be quick round here!

New moos

I’ve just had a new batch of moo* cards (I gave all of the first batch away – grudgingly) and s’pose I’ll end up giving these away too (grumbly, grumpy noises). It’s just that they’re just so nice to have, I want to hoard them all to myself!!

Anyway, seeing as I might be giving some of them away I thought I’d experiment and after playing around with some blank card bases and my best handwriting I came up with these:

Moo_card_cards_3


The moo is removable (I’ve only used one craft mount) and so it can be taken off and cherished!! I’ll be including one of these cards with each of the toys I sell from now on. These will tide me over until I get around to having some proper ones printed!

*moos are little contact cards that you can get printed in batches of 100 from your own photos if you upload them to flickr (which is free to join). They’re not what I call cheap but they are lovely and you can personalise the back. More details here.

foxy loxy

My favourite program on telly at the mo is Springwatch and I’ve been inspired by the antics of the foxes Jamie, Mungo and the chip shop family, well, that and some gentle persuasion from Zoe!

Fox4

Anyway, so far they are just prototype heads but, once I’ve finally sorted out ears (there are 4 different ones in these pics) and grappled with a tail I’ll hopefully be able to make a full fox.
