Ladybirds and Blossoms....

Since there is nothing else for me to do I will just keep the patterns coming. I guess it is a great thing as I've had the time to really focus on MobiLOVE over the past week. It needed some attention and I feel that I've finally found the originality I was looking for. MobiLOVE now breathes Emelie Jensen and nothing else. I never thought it would be so hard to give MobiLOVE an identity. The mobile phone accessory market is so saturated these days, and it is extremely hard to stand out and especially to be original in this sea of mobile phone cases. The good thing is that I've had to force myself to explore my mind and push myself to invent something new. And I have found another path along the way. I am researching some new products at the moment. I don't know if it will work or if I have to financials to sort it out. But I will look in to it. My aspirations as a designer has grown tremendously over the past month or two and I really want to see where this can take me. I am very curious.

If you want these cases then you can find them in the MobiLOVE Etsy store as usual. Just follow the links below.

I am still waiting for baby to come out and I am now 5 days over due. I am not very "happy" at the moment as I am struggling in this stupid heat wave and I can just about move now. I force myself to go for a walk around the block every night when the sun has gone down as this should help to get baby in position. I hope she'll arrive within the next couple of days, but who knows. Till then I will use my fan and my bed as much as possible lol.

Birdies and Water Melons...

I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I am moving at the speed of a Sloth at the moment. Baby is weighing me down and the unbearable heat is not making things better. I am two days over due now and I swear with every day that I go over time I just get heavier and heavier. I can't wait to deliver this baby, for so many reasons. I am longing so much to see her face for the first time, and I'm not going to lie, I can't wait to feel a million pounds lighter again, and to sleep on my tummy.

Anyway, enough of the complaints! I have got some new cases and prints done anyway. I would feel so bad if I didn't get anything done. So I have chosen the things that demands the least physical effort of me, which is phone case designs and patterns at the moment. So I did this little Bird and Water melon pattern yesterday. Very happy with them and I love the colours. Very summery! Also I've got cravings for Water Melon at the moment so this pattern really suited me hahahaha. Hope you like them! They're all available from the MobiLOVE shop, or you can click the links below and they will take you straight to the listings!

A messy desk and some drawings...

 Happy Monday everyone! Yup, new week, new adventures. For me it is loaded with work work work. I wanted to have some new drawings for you today as I started my Sunday with drawing. Unfortunately I ended up with a terrible stomach cramp and weren't able to sit up right. Let's just say I spent most of Sunday horizontally on the couch in front of Grand Designs on 4OD.
 I did however manage to finish of a few drawings. These are to be designs for the iPhone cases and also I wanted to draw all of the characters you can find on Tomodachi Island and make iPhone cases out of them as well.
 So I have started that process that might be a bit of a long one. I love drawing them as I can give them more character and I also plan give you a more detailed introduction of each one of them when they're finished.
 A little photo of my toys that still need a shelf of their own as they're not safe where they are :'(
 I did some test prints of these two during the weekend and they came out lovely too. I am so in to making patterns at the moment that I have to force myself in to doing other things too...
Also need to order some new fur today as the stock is running low. For some reason I got loads of pink though. Seem to never run out of that....
Plans for this week is to get more stock in and to create new stuff for Tomodachi Island as mobiLOVE has had most of my attention lately.
What are your plans for the week???

And Moooooore Patterns....


Good morning everyone! Hope the start of the week has been great for you. I started my week with designing some more patterns. I worked on these Sunday night and Monday. This week I work allot at my part time job, so I won't find as much time to work on my personal stuff. These are not on Phone cases just yet, but I hope to be able to do that tomorrow. This first one is one of my favs anyway, my Brollies and Drops pattern. What I love most about it is the simplicity of it I think. And how easy it is to customize. Will make a few different versions of this one me thinks.

Here's another fav of mine. It reminds me so much of my grandmother. She used to have bed sheets in these colours and they used to be so soft and I just loved them when I was a child. So this one is definitely inspired by my grandmother who sadly aint with us anymore. A little tribute to her.

And this is obviously  a more "modern" take on the pattern if you may. I love blue, yellow and red together. They just compliment each other so well.
I also felt like making something a little more "glamorous" and since I had a show girly looking fan in my sketch book I thought I'd have a go at that. I'm not sure on these yet, but maybe someone out there will love them. It's just not my style, but was nice to try something different. What do you think? Was it worth my time or not? ;)

New Package...

Morning Everyone! Over the past few days I've been working on the new packaging for Tomodachi Island. I've been wanting to do this for a while but haven't had the time. I ran out of packaging a while ago and didn't want to order more as the old packaging quite simply is old and Tomodachi Island has changed so much since then. So I have sent orders out in clear bags which I hate. I have felt really bad about this and I just had to take the time to make new packaging. So next week at some point it will be here. This is what it looks like and I would love to know what you think.
Full view if you want to read the text.

Also I am so sorry that I have been more or less absent for a good while now. I am working allot and when I'm not in work I work here to get orders done. I don't have much free time to make new things in, which sucks. I do hope that this will change in not too long though as I have some plans. More about that when I know whats happening hehe.

Oh, and Christmas. Yeah, it's close now and that will mean even more work for me. I love Christmas as it opens up so many doors for me and Tomodachi Island. This year will be my second Christmas with Tomodachi Island and I am better prepared this year. However this means that new creatures will be short on the ground. But if I hit my target this year, then next year will be filled of new creatures, items and surprises. So fingers crossed that Christmas will help me to hit my target.

I also want to ask everyone to make sure that you order in time as Christmas is crazy for everyone. Especially customs and post offices so there will be major delays. <3

Halloween Special Edition...

We're doing our first seasonal Special Edition! The Halloween one hehe! I decided that making a special little range of necklaces and phone charms for Halloween was a good idea and have spent my waken nights (stupid cold wouldn't let me sleep), designing these little fellows. I sent for the yesterday and so they should be with me and up in the shop by the end of next week at some point. But of course I will let you know when they're here.
They will be the first phone charms that go up in the shop, and hopefully you will like to see a new product. I am super excited about them and can't wait to see them. Hope you like!

Forest Dwellers...

 The Fox
 The Stag
 The Owl
 The Weasel
The Hare

This is my secret little project I've been working on. These adorable creatures will be decorating pocket mirrors that I ordered today. They'll be with me in 4-8 business days, so fingers crossed I'll be able to have them up for sale next week at some point.

I call the range "Forest Dwellers" and if these do well, I can guarantee you that you will see other ranges too. I also plan on using the illustrations for art-prints later on. Obviously with more detailed backgrounds. I spent so much time drawing these so I thought it would be a shame NOT to make them into art-prints so that you can appreciate the detail in larger formats.

Anywaaaaays, happy days! I am looking forward to seeing them! Hope you are too!

Owlie Clip...

I was a little bit clumsy when I ordered the last batch of hair-clips. You have seen the wings before, but without thinking I ordered just one, which means that it would only work on one side of your head and not both. So I have to order one that is mirrored of course, and since I needed to order just a wing I'd get way to many of one design and I got a few yellow clips left. So I decided to make another hair-clip design which is the little owl. Hope you like it!!! I think it is super cute OuO
