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???

The past week...

Hello Monday! A new week with new adventures... But before then I thought I'd tell you about my past week. Spring has finally hit UK after many months of continuous rain and storms. Never before have I appreciated the springs arrival so much. I did get some drawings done yesterday, they are for Tomodachi's first hard phone covers and they're coming out great. Might even make prints and postcards out of them later on. We'll see. Can you guess what they are?

With the spring sun so came my itchy green fingers. I don't have a garden unfortunately, but I had to get something going. So I've decided to get a flower trough for outside our kitchen window. Although I couldn't find any flowers I liked and I couldn't find a trough either. I need to find one online I think.... Anyway, I decided to plant seeds instead since there is just so much more choice. I've never tried this before but it seems to have worked quite well. It's not even been a week and the little seeds have become this already!!! 

Look at all the colour! Can't wait to see there in full bloom outside my window when doing the dishes. I might actually enjoy doing the dishes with these outside. Who knows?!?!

I had a whole two days of planting and re-potting. I decided that the biggest plant I have ever had needed to grow bigger and planted it in an apple box. I hope that it'll just explode now!

Oh and I bought this fluffy looking thing. I don't even know what it is but when I ran my hand over it in the garden center I just squeed! It is really soft and fluffy. Hard to explain but I am in love with this little plant.

My former office storage had to move out when we decided to have a shared office. There was just no room for it. But I think it was for the best, as it looks lush in the living room. So it now holds all of our most precious things, like toys and books....

I think I kept more busy last week than I can remember. I even managed to make six new cushions for our sofa. I've been wanting to do this since before Christmas, but I just haven't found the time. I had so much fabric over after making curtains so I decided to use those for the cushions till I can find that nice fabric I've been looking for for so long. I want something turquoise so it goes with the table. But I am so picky and think I already have the fabric thought out in my head. Which means I will never be able to find it lol.

The spring sun just lights things up so nicely...

Birdies...

Oh and on Friday (even though most of the day decided to be filled with fog) we made it out to Durdle Door. It is part of the Jurassic Coast just 45 minutes away from where we live. I was very angry at first since the fog literally was so thick that you couldn't see anything. We decided to have lunch at the campsite instead and luckily when we got out the fog had cleared slightly. And we could see!!! This is a view you just don't want to miss, and we nearly went home without seeing it. Thank you weather Gods for clearing the fog!

Back to the grind...

My two week Holiday has come to an end. Today I go back to work and it actually feels quite good. I've had two great weeks of which one I spent in Sweden. It was great to go back to see my friends and my Family and I miss them so much. It feels good to get back home as well though. Home is home after all, it's where you got all your things, your routines and well, where you can be yourself fully. I am not great with being away from my home for too long. I think the main thing is that I can't be creative when I'm not at home and that makes me feel uneasy.

Anyway, it's back to the grind and I am swamped with orders! Not that I'm complaining or anything but when you take a week off you have to pay for it when you get back lol! The last of the orders are going out today anyway but I am very tired yet satisfied to have worked hard. It is my life to sew now and when I don't get to do it for a week I get a bit twitchy.

During my holiday I've also become a Second Hand shop addict! I never thought I'd become one, but I guess I was wrong. Me and my better half found this beautiful table for only £20 when we walked past a second hand shop the other day and I just had to have it. I have great plans for it and will let you guys come with as I give this beauty a complete makeover! I can't wait to get started! Getting some paint tomorrow and then you will witness magic (if all goes as I've planned).

Bits and bobs...

Today I have allot to do. All my orders need to be finished off and shipped! Yesterday I worked on the new product I was talking about. It didn't turn out the way I wanted it too and so I have decided not to do it at all. It is very expensive and I quite simply don't think that people would pay enough for it to make it profitable so I have scrapped it. However I have tuns of other ideas lined up and will have something new for you soon.

I have also researched and tried new ways for the phone cases closure and I have found it. I have found the elastics a bit tricky as it sometimes get stuck in the fur. I think I have solved this problem now and am going to change the cases over to the new closure slowly. I need to sell out of the ones I got first but after that there will be an updated version.

Also, I never told you about the little cat up there. It is a little plushie that I have been planning on putting up. I am still developing it and I need one more prototype before it becomes available in the shop. It would be nice to know what you think about it though? Any pointers and/or ideas?

Oh! And don't forget to get your Love Bug Yetis in time for Valentines day! A few of them are leaving me today!

Where the magic happens...

Hello everyone! I thought it was about time that I showed you from where I work. This is my little work corner. I rotate between my craft station and my computer all day long haha. I try to do some stuff in between though but this is mainly where I spend my days. I hope to have a bigger place or even my own workshop one day. But until then I just have to be happy in this little corner of my home. Which I am, very happy! >u<
