Jon Burgerman.

Jon Burgerman is a genius. I think so. What do you think? I love the bright and surreal figures and shapes.

You can find him here. You can also buy lots of amazing things here. There are prints, vinyl figures and even colour in wallpaper, which i really want!

Rain rain go away.

How are you today? Is it pouring with rain where you are? It is here and our roof has decided to leak, which is not good. I also have a nasty cought, which is also not good.

However, i plan to get cozy on the sofa and do some sewing for a commission i have. It's a toy for a child's christening present. It's looking pretty cool and i especially love the giant moustache it is sporting. I will put some photos on here as soon as i can find where i've put my camera (i am always losing my camera, do you often lose things? I do).

I have also been looking online for birthday ideas. I found these tin toys and i love them.

What do you think? Who wouldn't love a cute vintage robot or monkey!

I do love London but i also love home.

Well hello there. How are you today? I hope you are well. I am full of cold and feeling a bit sorry for myself.

Although i have a new little grey kitty asleep next to me on the sofa whilst i write this and that is cheering me up no end.

Plus i have just had the most lovely and relaxing week in London with my friends. I have been up to all sorts.

The only nice weather we had was the first day i was there so we made the most of it and packed a picnic and headed down to Clapham Common. It was packed with like minded people but we found a little space and read trashy magazines and ate sour dough bread and sweet potato dip, plus lots of flapjack (i am a big fan of flapjack).

The weather the rest of the week was pretty rubbish. But that just meant doing lot of indoors type stuff. I made a lovely banana bread-cake with cream cheese icing which was rather yummy. I made the recipe up so was pleased when it came out well.

I also made lots of things for a couple of wedding i am going to later in the year. Things for the tables of one of the weddings and a wedding present for the other. I have to keep both a secret for now but once the happy days have arrived i will of course show you. They are lovely and i think you will like them.

I also went to the V&A museum one day. I have never visited the V&A before and was happy as larry wandering about. I spent a lot of my time in the jewelery exhibition, but that is because i am a magpie and couldn't believe the size of some of the diamonds they had!

I hope you have a good week and are not full of cold. Now, where did i put that Night Nurse....

Our new little kitty.

Good morning! I hope you are all well. I have been in London all week and am having a lovely time. I will write more about all the fun things i have been up to when i get back.

However, i thought you might like to see the new addition to our home which we have aquired in my absence. I have yet to meet little Wilson (who i call Willy) but i have been sent lots of photos. He is super cute. But also a bit naughty and playful i hear!

Our black cat Monkey is not best pleased she has to share her home. But i'm sure they'll be friends soon. I'm looking forward to giving him a cuddle. Awwww.

My little Lunartik cuppa!

What do you think of my little customised cup of tea? My lovely man bought me this collectors edition milky DIY Lunartik tea which i have now covered in anna doodles. I love it!

What to do, what to do?

Hey hey hey!

As you may be able to tell by my greeting i am in a super duper good mood today! I have 10 days off from work and am spending seven of them up in London town with my friends. My bestest friends (well some of them, the ones that aren't jet setting about the globe and therefore can't be reached on a train).

All i need to do now is pack (which may take a while) and think of lots of fun things for us to be getting up to. I'm planning on going to lots of museums and galleries, as well as having a picnic at Clapham Common and probably a few cheeky glasses of wine.

I am also going to go to a trade fair called Pulse to have a look at what lovely things i might want to stock in my shop in the future (and therefore feeling good that i am doing something pro active about my future).

I plan on taking two bags with me, one with all the clothes and things i might need while i'm away, and another with craft things i want to do. Crocheting, sewing, quilting and the like. I must not pack too much, which i am prone to do.

What fun things can you think of to do if you were in London? The possibilities seem endless, yay!

I hope you are enjoying the sunshine

Howdy, how are you today. I hope it's sunny where you are and you are chirpy and happy. I am. Well, chirpy and happy and a bit sleepy. Probably shouldn't be sleepy as i'm about to go to work. Oh well, i'll have a cup of coffee and make a few cakes and that'll wake me up.

I am also looking forward to this weekend. A lot. I am taking a little trip up to London to visit my bestest friends in the world for a whole week. It'll be super. I have to think up some lovely things for us to do. What do you think we should do?

I might try and make my own boozy ginger beer. I've been told it's easy peasy to do. If you fancy giving it a go yourself you can find the recipe here. I'll let you know how it turns out (my dad has tried it and said it worked really well so i've got high hopes).

Mmmm ginger beer cocktails, now that sounds like a plan!
